A Throwers Training Journal

Results:

Javelin: 63.81m
Discus: 38.13m

Both throws went very well this weekend. I threw another 2m farther in jav and 3m in discus and came in 2nd overall in the javelin. My technique from the short approach is getting better and better, but from watching the videos I still lack a significant blocking motion and much speed into the throw. Luckily now I have some video to work with technically.

Just 2 weeks until conference, next weekend we go to a small meet so I can practice pole vault and either high jump or the hurdles. My javelin mark will likely get me to regionals, so I can relax a bit on my focus there, but definitely want to throw a little farther for conference to get on the podium. It’s going to be a tough 2 weeks of technique work.
