The good people over at ROCK magazine have asked me to contribute in the form of a regular column - Ask The Coach. The issue with my first installment is out now (issue #84) and should be of interest to those climbers who are wrestling with the decision: Am I just climbing, or should I start training to climb? And if so - where the hell should I start?
I hope you'll enjoy reading my perspective on these training-related topics. It comes from compulsively reading everything I can on the subject over the last 10+ years, using myself as a crash test dummy and - over the last few years - having the opportunity to coach a lot of climbers of various body types and abilities.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks to those who submitted questions on Facebook a while ago, and I'll be chasing more questions to answer for upcoming issues in the coming months.
