4/21 At MU. Drizzle gave way to sunny skies for our 400H workout. Circles, swings, skips and an up/back progression (10s, 20s, 30s). 2H 3pt start followed by a workaround (2 to 5, 3 to 6, etc.). Rest interval was about 4 min. Everyone ran reps near race pace. Stretched. Joe, Logan, Brian, Mike, Nate, Holly, Nathalie and Annika were present. Kasey was missing.
4/22 At KC. Kasey, Alex, Mollie and Madeline jumped early. Mike, Jerome, Brad late. Pre-meet warm up and then work on some technical issues and/or higher bars. Alex worked on some approach issues (right leg crossing over left at turn). Change "mid" mark to 6th step -- 48 feet at start mark, 19-8 at step 6 (8" in). Had some nice approaches and jumps as that got worked out. Kasey had many good jumps except when jumping toward bar. Mollie worked to get plant foot closer to standard and away from middle of bar, getting quicker on final step and leaning into curve (away from bar) along with a stronger lead knee drive. Madeline also worked on knee drive and arm drive that starts back and goes up rather than across bar. Most jumps were around 4-7, some a bit lower. Jerome took all of his jumps around 6-8, opening height on Saturday. Did 3 with bungee and another 5 or 6 with bar. Had one very close attempt and a couple others that were pretty good. Mike worked around 6-0, having some problems committing to the jumps. Brad was jumping into bar most of the time but worked on staying away by leaning into curve more. Might need to move a bit further out, but better to stop jumping in and start jumping up.
4/23 At KC. Joe, Brad, Nathalie, Holly and Annika worked highs. Loosened up and did a Cheetah strength set. Skip series. 1-step hurdles. Add-a-hurdle H1 to H4 and H4 back to H1. Stretch and roll. Good progress again by Brad, getting some splits in 1.3s and even a 1.2. Joe got a couple in mid-1.1s. Annika got some in 1.4s. Holly into upper 1.2s.
