  • Episode 29: 4 Things that may lead to you throwing in the towel for training

    In this episode of Face The Climb podcast, Jen talks about 4 things that may lead to climbers ending their training early. These 4 things especially pertain to the new self trained climber.

    • Adding in too much climbing
    • Volume of climbing leading to aches, pains, and possibly injury
    • Not sticking to one thing, instead bopping around in the drills and exercises they do each week
    • Expecting results right away. It takes time.
