I'm a multi and im going into my second season, is this normal for throw shoes? And recommendations for something more durable options for glide and discus? This is my plant foot for both

So going from in season into off season I began practicing and working on my form. I’d just like some feedback from you guys to let me know what Im doing better at and possibly what I’ve gotten worse at during this time. Thank you guys for all the help over this past few months it means the world.

Closing in on 150' this Summer before junior year
Starting a new strength focussed mesocycle for the next several months and gonna switch to Olympic lift focus during outdoor season

Hey everyone, full disclosure: I’m the developer of this app.

I made TrackKit because I was tired of going to several different websites whenever I needed to calculate or convert something for track and field. I wanted one place where the tools were easy to find and where I could save calculations I might need again.

TrackKit currently includes:

• Decathlon, heptathlon, and pentathlon scoring
• Track and event conversions
• Meters-to-feet/inches conversions in both directions
• Wind and altitude corrections
• A lap split predictor
• Favorites and calculation history saved on your device

I’ve also tried to make the calculations transparent by showing the source and ruleset used for each tool.

The app is free on iPhone. It has a small banner ad, with an optional $0.99 purchase to remove it. There’s no subscription, and the optional tips don’t unlock features.

Here’s the App Store link:

I’d genuinely appreciate feedback from athletes and coaches. What calculator or conversion tool would make TrackKit more useful to you?

Anything to work on? Felt very nice. came back from week vacation.

Hi

My daughter is getting into throwing, and I bought a book about throwing, which has a small section on lifting in it, can someone tell me if this is enough, and if not what a better resource would be for her for a lifting program tailored for throwing? She does shot and disc only.

Thanks

My coach has been wanting me to slow down the left heel/foot turn out of the back of the ring. I’ve really been struggling to feel that and can’t seem to execute it. Could anyone offer some help? Whether it’s something I’m doing that’s not allowing me to slow it down, or something I need to do in order for that to happen. All advice greatly appreciated

I’ve been stuck at this 110-120 range for quite a bit now. Idk if I just need to lift more or if it’s my form that’s needs a way more fixing. (Most likely both)
