Team Geared Up

KILDARE, IRELAND (Team Geared Up) - For those looking for good articles on training advice, don’t forget to check out Irishclimbingcoaching’s site (which will be going through a re-design soon!). There’s some useful advice, especially in relation to setting your goals and focusing your training so it actually pays off when you get on rock!

For those starting to think about the upcoming summer season and it’s glorious weather, start focusing those thoughts with some good ideas:

1. Have some goals (makes it much easier to justify putting yourself through hardship at the wall)
2. focus your training on the type of climbing you’ll be doing
3. Positive thoughts!!!! (look at my optimism for the summer! also helps when it comes to training)

For anyone interested, there’s a bouldering masterclass being run at DCU’s wall this Sunday (9th March 2008). There’s still a few places left so if you’re interested, email irishclimbingcoaching@gmail.com

disclaimer: I am involved in IrishClimbingCoaching and it’s coaching courses. Please let me know whether you’d like some posts (or even guest posts) in relation to training up here on TGU!!!!!
