Yesterday I thought I would do some squat-jumps for starting block practice. Is this a good exercise? I only did 3 x 10 but today my legs feel like jelly. What other land exercises can anyone reccommend to better that reaction time and lengthen that distance off the blocks?

Those are great to do. Make sure you do not stop in the set at all. 10 explosive jumps. Treat the ground like it is 1000 degrees. For more work do somehting that isolates your calfs. But if your legs are jelly, ease into it.
