This evening despite being pretty tired after work, I decided to put Dave McLeod's advice into practice and go try some problems. I have been reading '9 out of 10 climbers make the same mistakes', and one of the key messages I got from it was that really good climbers try harder, more often and for longer than other climbers. This was also a message I picked when listening to Pete Robins run through his talk for the upcoming Llanberis Mountain Film Festival. Pete's talk was quite inspiring as he spoke about something I think all of us can relate to - how to break out of a performance plateau. I wont spoil it for you - come to Llamff and listen!
Anyway, returning to my wall session, I tried a variety of problems and resolved to give them just one more go than usual. I also repeated a few that I did manage to do, something I dont normally tend to do. It was certainly different, and as I keep saying, variety in training is good.
Tomorrow am biking to work to keep my fitness up for another quick Scottish hit, and I will be back at the wall on Thursday to do some routes. Monday evening saw me in a yoga class, getting thoroughly stretched and employing intensive concentration and breathing practice. So a good week fitness wise!
