Iain joined the Reach DF Programme in September and has just completed his project. Well done Iain! Happy days....

| Segment from Iain's programme |
Iain was training using the DF Online Programme while I was walking across Northern Spain popping online every now and then to see how he was doing. But his dogged persistence was impressive, right up to the end, when I got an email explaining he hadn't yet done his project but was happy that he had found a new way of training.
I knew between the lines that he was running out of time: dry rock time (in Scotland) and emotional time, having committed so completely to his training and our programme format.
So well done you Iain Ross, because when I am lucky enough to be part of a coaching/training journey with someone like you, it makes my week when you get the chains! :)

"I came to climbing late but it is now a passion for me. From the feel of the movement, to exploring old and new places, to meeting new people, to learning new things about myself, it gives so much. A natural part of this for me is training, I want to train as it helps me achieve my goals but more than that, I enjoy the process itself. Over the course of the summer I felt that I was lacking something in my climbing but I could never quite put my finger on it. It was at this point that I stumbled across Mark and Reach and I decided that his approach was worth trying. What I discovered was a new way of training that really suited me and put a sound structure around a lot of what I was already doing. Although there were a few hiccups along the way I stuck to my plan which was focused around a defined route goal and in the end after a right battle I did it. It was great to get the route done but on reflection it is what I have gained from the process that matters most. Roll on the next cycle!" (Iain Ross)
