Recommended Pole Length by Person's Height

For most runners, an effective baseline is to calculate pole length as 67% of your height in centimetres. Multiply your height by 0.67 to find a length that supports efficient biomechanics and minimises fatigue over distance

• Under 155 cm → 100 cm

• 155–165 cm → 105 cm

• 165–172 cm → 110 cm

• 172–178 cm → 115 cm

• 178–185 cm → 120 cm
