... PS... I would not suggest doing "3-4-5 hundred meter ladder, took 8 long jumps, vaulted for an hour, and then ran a mile all in the same day and barely got tired" in one day ever again. :o That was very foolish. I wouldn't beat yourself up about it. Training is going well now, so obvi...

Last year I as I was declining I tore my quad trying to maintain my body at the same level it had been before the season started. I started training seriously starting January (after the MT SAC camp) and immediately began to get in shape. I knew something was wrong this week when I ran a 3-4-5 hund...

I talked to my coach about it and he said I'm just overreacting.
I hope so, because while I trust what he and everyone on here says, I still fear that I'll burn out before league and miss my first chance at CIF.

I keep myself in decent shape during the summer, and get by during the fall. No everyday training in the fall, but I train 5 days a week in the summer.
This season I wanted to stay healthy so I never really went hard training until January, despite beginning track practice back in November.

Im only concerned because it seemed to happen last year. I started the season with a big PR in the Long and 100m. As the season progressed I began getting slower and couldn't jump as far, despite still regularly PR'ing in the Vault. (Which could be attributed more to technical advances rather than g...

I feel like I am about to peak. (Don't ask how I know, I just have this odd feeling that I am.) Yet we have yet to put up the standards so we could vault. I'm currently PR'ing every week in the long jump and 400m. I don't want to be peaking right now as I would be in decline by the time we begin tra...

I think I saw Giovanni Lanaro use one of those at the camp I went to this winter...

I was shopping on VS Athletics, and found it interesting that these two shoes (along with the ASICS Hyper MD) were listed under Long/Triple and Pole Vault spikes. Has anyone ever tried them or use them? If so, how did they fair out? I remember Barto told me that the lighter spikes wouldn't be able t...

Oh wow...I had no clue about that.
Well I'm on the verge of making the 4x4 team right now, which is why I initially looked into it, but it seems like now I should just go for 2 pairs...

Does anyone know if this is a good jumping shoe? It's very light, which is one thing that I thought was different, at 5.8oz, compared to other shows like the CyberJump or TurboJump which are at 8 or above. It's designed to be a hurdler shoe, but don't hurdlers also need excellent heel support? Inter...

Man, I was way darker than him! LOL
I got better...I went in with a PR of 10' and got up to 11' on the last day.
Next year I'll be back to be in the advanced group.
