hey if you need to do short runs to get better, then so be it. go to www.jscott615.com and watch the videos and note how short jeremy's run is, then check the bar height.

You can always add speed to your vault to improve it, and if you need to run slower to train(I know i do) then stick with it.

I saw Jeremys' video and it looked like he does a 6 step approach. Is that correct? I'm still trying to get down all the term and stuff that's new (er). Thanks..................Mike
