What is the best way to move my run back from 10 steps to 14 steps? Should I use smaller poles, like the biggest pole i use from 10 steps, should I use that pole when I first try to move my run back or should i use a big pole?

Why not go to 12 steps, starting with the biggest pole you used from 10, then moving up. Then once you get some rhythm going at 12, move to 14 using the biggest pole you ended up on from 12.

Yeah unless you have to like me. i would go 12 then so on. Your run will get stronger as the year goes on making it easier to move back.

Are you talking about 6-7 lefts(or rights for y'all wrong-handed folks), or total number of steps? We're talking about total number of lefts and rights together when we say 12.

When is the best time to move back? Is it still too early in the season to move back or should I try to move it back as soon as I can? I kind of tried today but I couldn't even plant from 5, but I did on monday. I know once I plant from my long run I'll be on my way, but it is taking some time!

We move back when we've absolutely maxed out on each stride/magic number (for all you Bell fans). We'll push the pr, inch by inch until we absolutely can't go any higher with multiple tries at the next inch above the highest we've cleared, and then move back a stride and do the same. Once we reach our max "long run," we stay there for a week or two, once again maxing out, and then start the cycle all over again from 2 steps.
