Key to successful long jumping. (importance of speed and consistency during approach run)
Speed, without question, plays a significant role in the long jumper's ability to achieve maximum distance. Check the immortals of the event like Carl Lewis, Ralph Boston, and Jesse Owens. All were top worldclass sprinters.
The faster the athlete, the greater his build-up of momentum and power. The trick lies in achieving a consistent approach with maximum controllable speed. Jumpers who cannot maintain their speed through the final strides of their run-up are going to wind up with an inhibited and inconsistent approach run.
Caution: The jumper should never sacrifice a powerful, efficient take-off position for speed.
Length of Run
The approach run should be made up of 14 to 22 strides, depending upon the age, strength, and experience of the jumper. The vital initial concept is to practice for consistency rather than speed.
