Thanks ESSX: I'm not sure what kind of poles the ones we have are, but would it be safe to assume I can follow those steps on the trainer poles we have too?

What are some correct ways to use training poles???
My coach got some for us to use but we don't know how to safely use them.
All we know is that you are supposed to use a short approach and that they bend easier and unbend slower.
How short of an approach, how fast to run, etc...???

Every year when we take out our pv pits, there are holes chewed by mice and mice nests in the pits. They are stored in a shed outside by our track. It looks terrible and eventually so much damage will be done we will have to replace items. We've talked about putting moth balls in with the pits to ke...
