4/30 Tim, Emily and Mollie trained at MU. Did 2x8H reps (R -1 -2 -2 -2 -3 -3 -3 one at regular height, one -3"). Also did a few reps over 2H. Everyone worked on some different elements but common themes for each: Tim worked to stay up tall and the ball of the foot into H1 and made an adjustment in block spacing that seemed to help. Also worked on keeping hips square, which is easier when getting to the takeoff point without reaching for it. He hit splits in 1.2s and 1.3s. Emily worked on a quicker lead leg and keeping her ankle flexed rather than pointing the toe. Lead leg was quick but there was still some toe pointing. She hit splits in 1.1s and 1.2s. Mollie continued her progress on staying off her heels and driving her knees more aggressively into the hurdles. When she did that, she hit splits in the 1.3s and 1.4s. When she didn't, she added the fourth step and ran in the 1.5s.
5/1 Nate and Mollie came out to MU for HJ. Nate's 5-step distance was 35-9. Looked for consistency there along with takeoff point and angle. Made jumps in 5-8 to 6-2 range. Kept the volume of jumps fairly low -- around 7 to 9. Mollie worked on taking off a little further away so she could reach her peak over and not past the bar. Moved back to 50, and it worked out well. Stayed away and made some nice jumps in 4-3 to 4-7 range but had some clearances among her jumps that had a lot of room around the bar. Tom did his 400H work. Worked a progression of back and forth 1H reps on turf and then did reps over 5-3-2, targeting race pace. On the 5H set, he ran splits around 5.3 but then picked it up for the 3 and 2 sets, running those segments in the 4.7 to 4.9 range, just the pace needed for a 60-second effort on Saturday.
5/3 Jerome practiced HJ, making some PR jumps at 6-0. Mike jumped after PV, taking a few run throughs, some warm up jumps around 5-8 and then working up to and clearing 5-11. Stopped there. Rain kept hurdlers in Kern. Jim, Jon and Tim did a couple starts and then about 5 reps at relative spacing for 16-step pattern.
