Anyone started vaulting yet (06-07)?

A forum to discuss overall training techniques, nutrition, injuries, etc. Discussion of actual pole vault technique should go in the Technique forum.

But anyways, I wanna make sure that we're doing the right things to start off... should we just be doing short run stuff with drills without bending the pole?


3-6 weeks on the track doing running drills to perfection, plant drills in place, walking, running, running drills with the pole and without, sand vaults to maximum grip from 2-8 steps for run rhythm(not speed) and plant efficiency.

But that's in addition to all the body weight circuits, running, flexibility, and lightweight lifting you should be doing.

See "Beginner to Bubka" for more info....
