no one is going to be able to give what your distance will be for sure
some are better in long than they are in triple

but you can try doubling your long give or take a foot . .and it will probably be in that range

[aidan]

seems like for most people it is double, plus a foot or so

again, this isnt exact, but for most people I know, slightly more than double long jump usually equals their triple

If your technique is where it should be you should be able to use a range of a 2.2:1 ratio from TJ:LJ as a benchmark. This may seem high to some, but if a jumper really has solid technique then.

20' LJ = 44' TJ
21' LJ = 46'2" TJ
22' LJ = 48'5" TJ
23' LJ = 50'7" TJ

These are really the type of #s you should be shooting for.

wow

if your getting those results
i want you for a coach

yeah... I always considered myself to have pretty good form.. can't wait for that 2 foot pr in the triple jump this week i just calculated with your formula :)



*seriously, everyone is different--there is no formula for lj:tj... shorter, explosive people will have a better long jump than triple jump, with their shorter legs, and taller, lankier athletes will USUALLY be the opposite.

[Beto]

Well, I´ve always keep myself with the idea of:

"Tall people with large legs, are the best candidates to have grat TJ"


maybe I´m wrong :confused:

those are pretty good estimates assuming you have really good techmique. one guy at my school a couple of years ago had 22'10" and 51'5" for pr's which are pretty close to that estimate. last year i was a consistant 20ish and mid 43ish, which is also pretty close to those calculations. i think that once you get farther in your long, the triple will not be as far. the first guy i mentioned now goes high 26s and high 55s. also, the world records are about 2 to one when compared in a ratio. all this is just the opinion of some kid on the internet though. everything depends on what type of jumper you are, speed or strength, your height, build, and many other factors. don't take all this too seriously, just do your best.

true, but just for arguments sake, Jonathan Edwards never in his career hit even 25' in Long Jump. His ratio comes out to about 2.47, which just goes to show you how insane he actually was.

Career PR in TJ - 18.29
Career PR in LJ - 7.41

Shocking isnt it?

by the way, it just hit me, you went to school with Aarik Wilson? Very cool. :D

[NVJumper13]

yeah, you got me :cool: . i try not to name names just because we get off topic with "oh you know him. i saw him on tv and he did this..." and the original question would be lost. Aarik was a little before my time though. my coach always uses him as a threat. it's funny cause we got cocky kids that are "too good to work," and our coach replies with: "I kicked this year's college indoor long and triple jump champion off this team once, don't think i won't do it to you :eek: ." nice bit o research on your part ;) , although i guess how many Nevada jumpers went over 50 ever? i can only think of two. :D
