I'm 44 and want to train long & triple jump (for masters). How to train (examples for training sessions)?

The same general training schedule that you would use as a high school or college student-athlete. The only real difference is that you will need more time to recover between interval and workouts. I was not a very good LJer in hs so I moved to the distance races were I am still am today at 43. As a result, you will need to train smarter and sometimes harder. I not very knowledgeable about training for the jump, but try the National Master News website. They have links related to training for people like us. Also try geezerjock.com


Also you will need to be more aware of you nutritional intake and possibly use supplements.





For specific workouts do a Goggle search for track and field coaching resources. Try CoachesEducation.com or for books try Track and Field News (TrackandFieldNews.com) and Human Kinetics has a huge selection of books on the topic that you may not find in your neighborhood book store





Good Luck
