Last few weeks of training for our September Team... Incredible!

We are nearly there with the ReAch September Team, with just a few weeks left, it has been great seeing the ups and downs and back UPs again! Training for 4 months consistently is not easy, I know.

Sport science is ever changing and only some data seems to carry forward into the next generation of research as 'credible'... We use various training methods specializing in Dual Factor but for me, what makes the ReAch Training Program 'credible' is having someone watching how you are doing during the program period and this is the whole center for my coaching.

Back in GB

It is not that I am a better climber ( I have climbed 8a+ so far since returning in 2010 and am proud but like you, I want more! 8b is killing me, but I have a plan!) but I think I understand the motivational drivers and need for support when things can get a bit tougher.

So here is to my September Team : Matt, Chris, Duncan, Joanne...Nearly THERE! :)

The 1000 - http://www.climbforlife.it/en/

Inspired by this (http://www.climbforlife.it/en/), I decided it was a good time for me to try for the 1000 pull up challenge as it seems like a great cause and the timing was right for me to try and complete such a great psychological challenge. It took me around 10 hours with 200 visits to the ledge with short sets of 5... Not the cleanest pull ups I have ever done but certainly the meanest!

A great challenge for all when you are looking to build some psychological strength as well as bigger arms! It's not easy but felt great pulling up for that big number 1000! Try it!

We are now canvasing for 5 UK climbers for our November Team for our online training programme. The programme costs 200.00 GBP and runs for a period of 4 months begining mid November.

You will recieve a 4 month online programme containing the following:

• access to online training data during the programme period
• bespoke online DF program based on profile
• online coaching support to monitor progress or discuss issues during  the 4 months

With this training programme, the main ingredients for success are your comitment and online support to help you through the good and bad times of the programme period and help you manage the changes needed to successfully taper to a peak. 

Success is obviously never guaranteed but our success lies in the support  and focus that is generated by havng the mutually shared online programme between client and coach.

For specific route projects such as red pointing of your project, Mark is available for 1:1 coaching sessions in Scotland, Spain by specific arrangement and the Ariege, Pyrenees (where we will also be offering the team special rates on coaching trips in the Ariege with ReAch and Base Calames),
