Hi there
I am a young self coached long jumper from Argentina. I had an ankle stress fracture last year that had me off training for four months, started with some lifting towards the end of february and was only able to start running on late march. Followed a cf-esque s-l programme, an interesting adventure for somebody tall and shlanky like me.
Summarizing: I was able to place 3rd at the junior NC this weekend after having done very very little technical work. Took part in two meets before equaling my pb that I had done last year after almost 9 months of more or less consistent training. Was able to run above 10 m/s even though I am awfully weak (squat 2rm = 100kg when I wasn’t running). If I had done more tech work I would have cracked 7m just by tweaking my landing.

In two months I was able to become faster than ever even after having done nothing for four months.
