Want to try pole vaulting- International
Posted: Tue Mar 30, 2010 4:30 pm
So, first a bit of a background on myself. I competed in track and field (mainly distance) from grades four to nine. I then started playing basketball and soccer from grades nine to twelve. Two years ago, I rejoined track, as a sprinter. I have not competed, but pull off 14-15seconds in 100H.
I had a knee injury a few months ago, required surgery. During that time I went to see World Indoor Masters, and fell in love with polevaulting.
I am going to travel Europe next month, and would like to train while there. I'm willing to settle in order to do so, and money is not a problem.
I am female, 5'8, 170lbs and 21% body fat. I'm built kind of...no, completely, like a male (broad shoulders, narrow hips/waist). In the next month and a bit, I'm going to work on achieving the level of fitness I was at before my injury (17-18%bf).
Is this realistic? Where should I go for coaching?
Thanks
