If you got 4'10" easy then you should be able to do 5' now. It may be a mental block when looking at the height. Did you hit the bar on the way up? Did you come down on the bar by not getting into the pit? Did you knock off the bar with your legs? You need to remember to jump up, not into the bar. As your height goes up you need to move your take off spot further away from the bar, because you are changing your curve so you can jump higher. If you land on the bar you are not carrying enough speed. If you hit it with your leg or foot you did not come out of your arch. To do this once your center of gravity has passed the bar look down at your belly button with your head so that your chin is against your chest. This will bring your legs and feet up. As you learn and improve you need to lift and do plyometrics.

Is it safe?

Well to train and jump higher train yourself by building leg muscles and jump at home every day by bending your knees and straightning when you jump do this at least 20 times a day.

How many kilometers must a team run to complete an ultramarathon?

just jump higher, but seriously, get a weight vest and jump repetitions to strengthen your legs. Also squats help.

How to train for cross country?

I feel flexibility and form is key. I have a good vertical 35+ inches, probably over 40 on the run. I am a horrible high jumper. My problem isn't getting the height, I get close to a foot over the bar, but I can't arch my back and kick up my legs so it looks like I'm sitting in a chair going over the bar so I don't real bend over it i just come strait down although I have the height to clear. I can get like 5'4-5'7, but I could get a lot higher if I had that flexibly. So If you are getting the height and hitting because you have a stiff form work on your flexibly.

If you need vertical do this. Stand still jump 10 times strait up pulling your knees up to your chest. Take a 15 second break. Repeat 10 times. If you can't reach 100 work toward a smaller number or increase your rest time. To measure your vertical and the progress find a mark you can jump to, preferably one that is suspended maybe a patio or a basketball back board. Reach strait up, measure the height from the top of your finger tip to your feet, then put either some chalk or tape on your finger tips and jump strait up and touch the overhang leaving a mark. then measure from the mark to the floor. Subtract the Mark to the Floor from your finger tips to your feet and that is your vertical.
