Foam Roll, 4 Core Exercises, 1 Foot Conditioning Drill
I took the stretches out because I’ve possibly been dealing with minor strains in my adductors and hip flexors and I don’t want to make them worse.

Sub Max Jumping (in shoes) – 2:00, 2:00
I have been carrying small injuries through the last week and I know how important it is to give near 100% in the exercises so I wanted to make sure I wasn’t subconsciously holding back. I did 3-4 jumps after my warm up and managed to get within about 4cm of my PB without really committing to the jump, so I was very pleased. I’ll continue to put the work in and test my vert properly after the deload on 9th July.
