What are Training Programs?

Training Programs are a daily/weekly/monthly/annual plan of all your training. Most people think that a training plan is only for elite level climbers, but realistically anyone who wishes to do any of the following requires some form of structure in their climbing/training schedule:

  • Progress in all Aspects of their Climbing Performance
  • Avoid OverTtraining and Injury
  • Monitor Progress and Facilitate a Balanced, Gradual Progression
  • Maintain Motivation throughout the "Climbing Season" and Off-Season
  • Climb to their Optimum Level Specifically for Climbing Trips or Competitions

The training programs that I design are tailored to the individual and thus no two are exactly alike. All training programs focus largely on the Physical and Technical development of the climber. Depending on the needs of the individual, a training program might include more focus on one aspect than another and include a variety of different drills and exercises to follow.

Every plan includes a "Phase Display Chart" which will aid the climber in seeing how they're training plan changes throughout the course of the entire cycle. A training program is made up of smaller Phases which tend to focus on a set type of training and the number of these phases and position of them in the cycle will affect performance at the end of the cycle.

 

Every plan will include a breakdown of each week during the cycle to show exactly what you should be doing during that week and on each day of training. This means that on a day to day basis all you need to do is look at your "Weekly Plan" to see what it is you need to do today.

 
"I found it gave me great motivation to train even when feeling tired or lazy knowing that I had a box to tick for the day"
Phil Jack

In each training plan there will also be an easy to understand explanation of all training components alongside suitable and easy-to-follow exercises and session plans that will help you make the most out of your time at the wall however long/short it is.

 
Annual Training Plan (12 Months) - £150

An Annual Training Plan will take into account the whole year from when you start your plan. It will most likely include anywhere from 2-4 Peak phases, at the end of which you would expect to be on form ready for a trip/competition.

This plan is ideal for those wanting the most out of the years training 

 

Demi-Year Training Plan (Around 6 Months) - £100

Will be roughly 6 months and won't include any more than 2 Peak phases. Ideal for those with a trip organised somehwere in the next 6 months that they want to be in perfect shape for!


Mini Peak Training Plan (Around 3 Months) - £50

A shorter plan ideal for your first taste of training using a periodised structure. Perfect if you have a trip or competition coming up soon and want to be on form for when you arrive.
