  • is that lee valley? cos i've been there!

  • @ngsteven97 Yes it is ! It's fabulous isn't it? Really well equipped with really friendly and helpful staff ! I think they are using it as a training facility for the Olympics.

  • How far did u jump right there? Looks around 3.50

  • @FBI703 - we filmed Jenny doing quite a few jumps to get these shots but her best jump to date is :

    6.35 from a 17 stride approach which was this year at Crystal Palace, in the South of England championships.

  • Thanks for your video :) Today I pushed my limits by 1meter now I need to practise my Technique and new shoes would be helpful :) (still dreaming about special shoes not simple running :D) THANK YOU :)

  • @DruskininkaiRunners - Liking your videos too!!!

  • fantastic form! especially in the landing

  • great video! very helpful

  • which shoes have she worn

  • she is wonderful... i adore her

  • She has no vertical arm drive

  • Damn she is freaking angelic fine

  • I used to do gymnastics, and moved to athletics last year thanks to an injury. Thanks to my experience I find the kick out at the end no problem, but I just can't get enough height. I'm 13 and I jump about 5m, but the English Schools distance is 5.05 and I just can't quite get that extra 5m, please help!

  • Hitch Kick

  • Heh heh ... I did this and freaked out and i got flappy legs :) silly me i can't flap my legs and fly xD

  • @r2fteachpe Hi, I am slightly perplexed by this, as her landing ended with her falling backwards somewhat. I am 15 years old and I am the best long jumper and high jumper in my school. However, having done eight jumps this year, my reccord was about 7 metres 14 - which I'm very proud of, but my 'technique' is nowhere near as technical (much more animalistic to be honest) and I'm 75% English, 25% Irish, so I don't believe it's because of heritage... I'm simply a little confused how I manage this.
