Marlog's PoleVault Journal: The Training Log That Turns Reps Into PRs
For competitive pole vaulters, coaches, and driven high-school/college athletes who are tired of guesswork, scattered notes, and stalled progress. This journal gives you a simple, repeatable system to plan every session, track what matters, and convert small daily wins into bigger bars.
Why pole vaulters love this
Are you struggling with...
• Inconsistent training focus ("What exactly am I fixing today?")
• Lost cues and setups between practices and meets
• No clear picture of what actually moves the bar (technique, approach, pole choice, habits)
• Competition nerves without a repeatable meet routine
• Plateauing because progress isn't measured
How the journal fixes this:
Every practice starts with a written Goal of the Session so you arrive focused, not reactive. Spaces for Notes and My Takeaway force real learning and retention after each rep block.
A built-in 14-week progress & habit tracker keeps you honest with recovery, drills, mobility, and mindset right on the page. (Fun fact inside: habits tend to stick after ~10 weeks.)
Dedicated Meet Results and Personal Bests pages show your trend line at a glance so you can taper and peak with confidence.
A structured Goal Planner (multiple goals with start dates, deadlines, and action steps) turns seasonal dreams into weekly actions.
An Approach section gives you space to lock in your run-up and repeatability (steps, rhythm, cues) so meet-day feels automatic.
What's inside (built for vaulters)
• Start of the Journey kickoff page: set your current PB, focus, and biggest challenge to anchor the season
• Goal Planner (multi-goal) with action steps, start dates, and deadlines so you always know the next right rep
• Practice Log pages repeated throughout: Date, Location, Goal of the Session, Notes, My Takeaway
• Progress & Habit Trackers (Weeks 1–14): weekly grids to track drills, strength, recovery, sleep, and mindset
• Meet Results tables: Date, Location, Mark, Place with notes for adjustments
• Personal Bests register to celebrate milestones (indoor/outdoor, run-up lengths, poles, bars cleared)
• Approach page to standardize steps and cues, reducing foul risk and takeoff inconsistency
• Mindset prompts & quotes sprinkled throughout to keep your head clear between jumps
