Some athletes are responders, others not it seems...

I wonder how appropriate a long to short program is for a jumper. Like you said, they run up 35m at a time.

I’ve got a jumper friend who trains for track in the winter and jumps in the summer. His 200-400m runs progress quite nicely but when he jumps he lacks total technical practice and doesnt jump far at all. During the summer, he hits up only 2 practices a week but its jumps only. He progresses quite nicely and he is surprised at how little he does and is able to progress as he does.

How much jumping do you guys do? Approaches and jumps.
