Hi all,
I am a 1st year u17 and the jav is my best event, but i also like to throw the discus aswell. I'm just curious as to wether or not throwing a 1.5kg discus will help or hinder my arm speed for the javelin, or not have an effect at all?

No effects at all. At that age I was playing as many sports as I could and doing Multi events also!
Just enjoy it!!!

People have various views on this kind of thing. Personally go with how you feel. Especially at your ageit is important to do things you enjoy in the sport it isnt all about performance. So if you enjoy the discus do it!
The only clash of the throwing events I've found it doing the shot before the javelin doesnt do me any favours. I haven't stopped doing the shot I just make sure I just do enough to get the club the points and only have a max of 3 throws

Thanks alot guys ;D i'll continue with the discus throwing, coincidentally i also find i don't throw the jav as well after doing the shot, it makes me throw even higher than i usually do  |
