How do I train for Triple Jump?

I need help with my run-through and my lifting. Any help would be appreciated.|||The most common problem with triple jumpers is that they jump too far and/or high on the first phase, so they have a very short second phase.





You should strive to have 3 equal phases, which means to be conservative on the first phase so you still have some bound left in your legs for the second and third phases.





Unlike the long jump on the triple you have to paw the ground on landing and drive forward again, so you angle of lift is not as steep, because if you go very high you have to come down and when you land you will not be able to support yourself, causing your landing leg to collapse.





Use your arms, they help drive you forward. Most people are more consistent using a single arm rather than double arm.





In practice look at your total jump distance, then mark the track or runway. Practice your first and then your first and second phase so you can learn how far to jump in the first phase.





You want to approach with as much speed as you can use and still be able to control your body in the air.


For most jumpers that is about 7/8 speed.





Be consistent in your approach so you take the same size strides and don't have to adjust near the board.|||the first thing would be to get you run up sorted first. you can do this by running back so may steps then get some one to get where that stride is then run it back to see if it is correct and adjust accordingly.





to get the lift correct then lots of bunny hops (frog up what ever you call them) and hoping this will straighten your leg muscles to give you better lift on the take off also do standing triple jump this will help as well.





good luck
