Best Answer

you count steps from the pit to where you start running (optinal)

and when you run you want to get alot of speed so you travel farther as you aprosh the pit push off with your foot and sling everything you have forward

an average jump for a 13 year old boy is about 3 m but if your any good you should get about 3.70

To measure the run-way of a long jump pit's run way simple use a measuring tape, then put the end of the tape on the board that the jumper wants to jump off of. Then have the jumper place his/her take-of foot's heel in the middle of the board. Then depending on the number of steps that the jumper wants to take count that number when their jumping foot hits the ground. the measure from where their foot lands. This is how you measure the board.

These are the measurements of the average pit not an Olympic sized one.

2.75 meters wide and 9 meters long (just the sand pit) not including the runway

Use a pool, or a lawn, or your mattress, bind a pillow to your butt, anything.
