11/29 Kevin, Eric, Mike and Aaron trained. Mike lifted 3x3x350. Kevin and Eric 3x3x400. Did hurdle mobility drills, acceleration and block work, 8.5m flys (Kevin 9.66mps, Mike 8.95, Aaron 8.59, Eric 8.41), and then about a half dozen reps over 1H (36), working on block, push out and acceleration through the hurdle. Finished up with some 5-step technical work over 42s. Stretched.
11/30 High jump approach work. Marks: Kevin 13-50, Joe 12-52, Aaron 13-48, Mike 12-54, Karly 13-50, Mollie 11-49. About 90% of HJ is about the approach. What happens in the air is determined by what happened on the ground prior to takeoff. Job one is to be consistent on the approach speed and hitting the takeoff point aiming to the back corner of the pit. We did a pretty good job of that for the first practice.
12//1 Emily and Mollie lifted 3x3x280. Hurdle mobility drills followed. Did 3 pickups and 3x8.5 flys and Karly joined us at that point. Bests: Karly 7.94mps, Emily 7.87, Mollie 7.65. Did some acceleration and block work. Start over H1 (33) bests: Karly 2.17, Emily 2.17, Mollie 2.29. Checked some splits between H1-H2. Averages: Emily 1.26, Karly 1.37, Mollie 1.385 (33/30 -2). For the first day, this was very encouraging. Lots to do, but a good start, particularly on block work through H1.
