Before I get too far into the specifics of this blog like food, technique, training exercises, mentality and more. I want to give a slight history of triple jump. To move forward you must understand the past to learn what to do, what not to do, and to pay respects to the pioneers. All in the effort to Jump Farther. Thank You!
Best,

I never knew how longstanding some of these records would be. It is surprising to me that a record could be held for nearly 25 years and still no one has beaten it. I think it is a perfect example of how humans do have a physical limit. Jumping over 18 meters to me is insane and I cannot fathom how any human is capable of doing such feats.
Tyler, this is a very interesting infographic! The colors and graphic elements flow really well together. Besides watching track and field events during the Olympics, I do not have much knowledge of the triple jump or athletes that have competed in it. So, it was interesting to read your history of the record breakers!
