Okay. At that point, you can jump "a little farther". But at one point, you *will* jump your farthest.

Since you didn't jump your farthest, that means that you either didn't put out full effort, or conditions weren't optimal. When you reach optimal conditions (weather, state of mind, running distance, terrain type, etc) and you put forth all of your available effort (physical and mental), then you will jump your farthest. The distance you jump then will be your upper limit. Unless of course you find a way to improve some of those aforementioned conditions (such as physical strength), upon which your distance will be slightly lengthened. But you'll still have an upper limit.

Why is this even a thread, and why did I bother to reply?
