no, don't think that you can continually add a set distance, rather, think you can increase your jump a fraction more each time.
Then your situation parallels a famous paradox, I forget the name:
A man goes on a journey, if he first walks halfway, then he walks half of the remaining distance, and then he walks half of the remaining distance, etc. how long will it take him to finish his journey?
The problem with jumping, is that you can't just add x distance on each time. Instead, the farther you jump, the more difficult it gets to jump a little bit farther. Diminishing returns kicks in and limits you.
