The question you all want to know:  Being as I trained no power endurance, how did it affect my power endurance for the season?

The High/Low Approach to training for climbing is much more challenging than first meets the eye.

I figured that it might be prudent to let people know whether or not the High/Low style of training is for you.

When I read that Charlie Francis trained his sprinters by avoiding AE training, I was a little taken aback, and extremely skeptical.

I've scrapped the old model of periodization training in favor of something known as High/Low Training.

You've made the tough decision to commit.  Now, to help you break this thing down to an inevitable send.

If you exercise a little patience, along with a few tricks and the right tactics, projecting something hard can be a rewarding process.

For those that have never undertaken a project, it can be intimidating just to decide on the right route.

It's easy to get discouraged by how quickly the pros seem to put down the hardest projects.

All of us are going to get hurt at some point.

More important than your coffee in the morning - ok, maybe not quite that important - is how you warm up.

Nate snapped the banana in half.  Clean break, right through the middle.  Like a ninja.

You can almost always find a reason to continue training the short-sighted way.

There is NO single workout that any group of people can follow to get the optimum results for each of them.
