Hey, one thing I would suggest for combined events is to limit the number of jumps you do, it'll save energy for the remaining events especially that dreaded 1000m. Since you're a 1.64 jumper, come in at 1.50-1.54. Good luck!
can anyone tell me which events are in the octathlon!!!!!! my track coach wants me to start training but for some reason I can't find which events are in it?! Any tips to tell me which events are the hardest. I am usually a sprinter running in the 100m and 200m, running 12.84, and 26.24. Any tips to where I should start my training?
1st day: 100m, long jump, shot put, 400m. 2nd day: 100m/110m hurdles, high jump, javelin, 1000m.
Lotsa fun!!
There's lots of points to be gained in the 1km, coz not many people are any good at it so it's a good chance to finish strongly. People seem to struggle at the hurdles, javelin, and high jump mainly...
Hey, thanks! My highest is now 1.75m, but that was on grass, so I reckon I can get higher still. My height is 1.80m. I'm 14, 15 in August. My goal is to jump 2m at age 16. Yeah, normally if you're left footed, you run from the left and jump with your right; opposite if your right footed. And most right handed people are right footed too, so those of us who are right handed but left footed are rather rare :D
I'm Right footed and jump off my right foot. My teacher is the exact opposite, left and left. my PB is 1.75m but I'm sure I can get at least 1.85 this year, my friend is about 1.75m tall and jumped 1.86m at districts...
Yo dude, nice editing and of cuz nice jump. =D Whats ur highest record anyway? Any whats ur height? And how old are u actually? Haha, Im right handed and i use the left side too. So u mean normal right handed go right side and use their left leg?
Thanks heaps for your kind comment! Like you, I'm right handed as well! Since I made this video I've jumped 1.70m :). Don't say "only", you've cracked the 6ft mark which is a conciderable achievment! Plus, as long as you're enjoying it, it's all good.
Lol, coz it was a multi-event, they only raised the bar by 3cm, so I ended up jumping 15 times! It was pretty dumb, but I wasn't game enough to skip any of the lower heights in case I somehow stuffed up the next hight after. I think I'll start jumping at a higher height in future. :)

I'm really enjoying jumping at the moment (I always have, but particularly so now), and I'm improving well.

Nice. I was a pure high jumper and I only jumped 6" / 1.78M when I was 17.
I came from the left side, like you (even though I was right handed), I don't see many videos on Youtube with this.
