good morning
use the "MID" chart and practice your run on the track... plant into a towel or sliding box...........
you may find that your "MID" is 2 feet out from the chart at first (normal problem) because you haven't developed the correct posture and stride rythm........
a 10' jumper should have a 37 foot "MID" .. strides of 4'10"..
mark 6 strides of 4'10 on the track.. run in and hit the first one on your correct takeoff foot... the last mark should be the same foot..
start.........................L R L R L R L....box
..........................."MID"
then mark 6 .. 5'0" strides and do the same.. then 5'2"..
this practice should clean up your approach on the runway..
