Bounding sequences
Alternating bounds, single-leg bounds, hop-step-step patterns. 20-30 meters, 4-6 reps. Builds the takeoff pattern and horizontal force the triple jump demands.
Triple jump pits are rare. Most of what makes a triple jumper better is bounding, phase-isolation drills, and approach work, none of which need a pit. Below: the drills that transfer, then sequence into real jumps when you find a pit.
Alternating bounds, single-leg bounds, hop-step-step patterns. 20-30 meters, 4-6 reps. Builds the takeoff pattern and horizontal force the triple jump demands.
Drill hops only, steps only, or jumps only. Each one isolated lets you fix the takeoff pattern without the fatigue and rotation of a full sequence.
Full approach with hop only, or hop and step only. Builds the approach-to-phase-1 transition under fatigue. Stop before the jump to save your legs.
Pit-free drills build the patterns. Film a full jump in a pit when you can. AI compares phase ratio, takeoff angle, and landing position to your home work. If the patterns are clean, the distance moves.
