Running slow

The last few meets and practices I have been running considerably slower, but still jumping near my PR. (15'6.25", 15'6" and 15'7" last few weeks) but I can't get on any of my bigger poles. Does this happen to any one else or am I just getting slower? I have some big meets coming up and I need to get on the big poles.

Your body is probably just tired from a long season and needs a break.

I have been runnin slower this last season. At camp this week I was pretty bad. Have someone look at the way you are running..thats what I had to do. I wasnt gettin my knees up. And I understand that you can run faster cause I use to be a sprinter..so it was weird to me that I was slower..so yea have someone look at the way you are runnin..could help?!

i agree, you're body is probably just tired as this just happened to me....right before golden west my body just started feeling tired, and after junior nats i took like 4 or 5 days off...just warmed up one day, jumped over my pr the next........just rest is all i'd say

The same thing happened to me, but all i did was get on a really soft pole (for instance i normaly use a 165 but i went down to a 140) and try to penetrate as much as you can. in order to penetrate more you naturally will run faster
this is just a suggestion. it worked for me

i think they're right ... you're prob just tired from a long season because i know that i was totally burnt out .... i went to golden south and jumped a foot and a half under what i usually consistently jump ... im just thankful that i burnt out right before golden south instead of states lol
