I am a pole vaulter training to compete on the international level. My G Movement Athletic Challenge is to jump a personal best of at least 5.50 meters (about 18 feet). In order to do this, I will train daily to perfect my technique, as well as build strength and speed to maximize my ability to do such.
I have been pole vaulting for over 13 years. On January 29, 2005, I jumped 5.41 meters (17-9). I took some time off to finish my Master’s Degree. After completing my degree, I began working part time and pole vaulting full time, in preparation for the 2008 Olympic Games. 1231 days later, I jumped 5.42 meters (17-9.5). That day I was 3 inches away from qualifying for the US Olympic Trials. After that, I suffered a few injuries that precluded me from surmounting 5.50 meters in 2009. This year I am healthy and progressing very well. And I am hopeful that I can clear well over 5.50 meters with a little extra motivation and support.
My training regimen is rigorous; it includes pole vaulting, plyometrics, strength training, gymnastics, running, sprints, etc. I have been training since September; however I will concentrate my efforts in December, January, and February to ensure the gains I am looking for by March 1st (the last day to qualify for Worlds). I will continue to update my progress at www.blog.jumpchrisjump.com.
