[01]Triple Jump Training Plan

How an AI-tuned triple jump plan works

Plans are built around phases, not weeks

Most triple jump plans are calendar-based, week 1, week 2, week 3. A better plan is phase-based, train the phase that's weakest, until it's not weakest anymore. AI tells you which phase to start with.

Re-test against video at every checkpoint

Plans without checkpoints turn into routines. Every two to three weeks, upload a triple jump clip and let the AI check whether the gap closed. If it didn't, the plan changes.

Adjust the next block based on what you fixed

Once the takeoff is dialed in, the next gap shifts. The plan follows the gap, not the calendar. AI re-prioritizes after every video re-test.

Adaptive programming

Triple Jump training plan that adapts to your form

Build a triple jump plan around the phase that's costing you the most, train it for two to three weeks, re-test on video, repeat. AI tells you what to start with and what to do next.

[06]Weekly schedule

A representative triple jump training week

This is the schedule a typical HS or club program uses during the in-season. Wednesday's drill focus rotates based on what AI form check flagged from the weekend's tape.

Monday

Approach work + bounding. Strength: posterior chain, single-leg.

Tuesday

Sprint speed, plyo.

Wednesday

Full triples at competition distances.

Thursday

Recovery / mobility.

Friday

Meet day or PR attempts.

Saturday

Off.

Sunday

Tape review.

[04]Progression ladder

Where you fit, and what's next

Progression is non-linear. The ladder below maps marker behavior, typical triple jump performance, approach length, and last-5m approach speed to the technical focus that should dominate your training block.

Triple Jump progression ladder: marker behavior, performance, approach length, last-5m speed, and training focus by level.
LevelMarkerPerformanceApproachSpeedTraining focus
Beginner First season. 8-10 m 8-10 strides n/a Pattern, basic rhythm.
HS Developing Consistent triple. 10-12 m (M), 9-11 (W) 12-14 strides 7-8 m/s Phase ratio, hop control.
HS Top / Club State-meet caliber. 13.5-15 m (M), 11.5-12.5 (W) 16-18 strides 8-9 m/s Speed at board, balanced phases.
College D1. 15-16.5 m (M), 12.5-13.5 (W) 18-20 strides 9-9.5 m/s Phase optimization, speed retention.
Elite International. 17+ m (M), 14+ (W) 20-22 strides 9.5+ m/s Marginal phase gains.

Triple Jump Training Plan FAQ

Five common questions about triple jump that come up in coaching.

How long should a triple jump training plan be?
Phase-based, not calendar-based. Train each phase block until the AI sees the gap close, then move on.
What's the difference between a workout and a training plan?
A workout is a session. A plan is the sequence of blocks across weeks or months. AI helps with the sequencing.
Should my triple jump plan change in-season vs off-season?
Yes. Off-season is for capacity (strength, volume); in-season is for sharpening technique. AI tells you which is the limiter right now.
Can a beginner follow this same plan structure?
Yes, phase-based plans work for beginners and elites. The phases and standards are the same; the levels differ.
How does AI know what to put in my plan?
Upload reps, AI sees the gap, prescribes the block that closes it. Re-test, repeat.
