Lattice Training Podcast

In this latest Ask Lattice video and podcast, climbing coaches Ollie and Josh sit down on the sofa to discuss the upcoming events in Tokyo, breaking down the disciplines that will take place and what we might expect from the athletes competing, along with their predictions of how the athletes might perform.

The Lattice jingle is brought to you by Devin Dabney, music producer of the outdoor industry who also hosts the American Climbing Project.

In this latest epsiode and podcast of Ask Lattice coach Maddy is joined on the sofa by Sam Webster, a Pilates teacher that specialises in pregnancy and post-natal pilates. They discuss the foundations of Pilates and how it can be used to reconnect to breathing and the core after having a baby. 

Sam talks about the different elements of the core that contribute to movement and how important it is to get the whole core working together in the process of returning to climbing. She gives some simple exercises that can be incorporated from early on, that can often be overlooked when we are wanting to get back to our main passion. 

Having recently had her first child, she gives some insight into her personal journey and how she has managed time, expectations, and reconnecting with her body.

In this latest episode of 'Ask Lattice' Ollie Torr is joined by Jon Procter, one of our newer members of the coaching team at Lattice. 

Jon has almost an entirely different lifestyle to Ollie, in that he balances family life, a second job, early morning training and twice daily training. In this episode, they dive deeper into Jon's daily schedule and how he manages to balance it all, whilst staying psyched for outdoor climbing.

Hi, it's Maddy from Lattice here.... I've uploaded an audio copy of a recent interview I did with UMI health - apologies in advance for the slightly rough sound quality, everyone was struggling with various mic qualities in all parts of the country! 

At Lattice we are passionate about furthering our knowledge when it comes to postpartum return to climbing (if you haven't already check out our postpartum survey which we've featured on our social media!).

 We have seen an increasing number of questions in our community group about pregnancy and return to climbing postpartum. Whilst looking into this area we came across UMI-Health, who are working hard to break down barriers when it comes to pelvic floor health, as well as provide accessible learning resources on the topic. After working my way through their resources I decided I would love to sit down and chat to them in detail about pelvic floor health as it relates to returning to exercise postpartum. Some of the main points we discuss... 

 The pelvic floor. What is it and why is it so important?

- Pregnancy. Why the pelvic floor is effected, how we can strengthen it, whether or not this impacts postpartum recovery.

- Postpartum. How different deliveries might effect initial postpartum recovery, when to start pelvic floor exercises, diastasis recti and some checkboxes to know whether you are on the right track or need to seek professional help.

- Getting back to exercise. Breastfeeding and training, monitoring progress and some extra cues to look out for during postpartum return to exercise, body image and returning to impact (think jumping down off a bouldering wall!)

In our latest episode of 'Ask Lattice,' we are joined by physiotherapist James Walker from the 'Sheffield Climbing Clinic'. In this podcast, James and Tom tackle some of the more unusual injuries that aren't quite as common, but as experts, we've seen them in our climbers quite a lot over the years. 

Topics covered include collateral injuries, tenosynovitis, flexor tendon strains and lumbrical strains.

ALSO - don't forget that if you want to get access to Physio advice for the lowest possible cost, 52 weeks a year, we have Tim Pigott inside of the Lattice 365 group - he's also accompanied by our nutritionist and premium coaches, every single week of the year to offer you support!

Ever wondered how Megos and Ondra train to get to the next level of performance? Back in 2019, Tom Randall and Ollie Torr sat and discussed the top 5 training habits of pro climbers. They consisted of:

Habit 1. Consistency in training and performance
Habit 2. Accessing that final 1% of effort that others don't
Habit 3. Having a pure desire to learn and adapt
Habit 4. One word... Commitment
Habit 5. Dealing with setbacks

PRO ALPINIST, PRO CLIMBER??

For many, it sounds like an impossible task to be at the elite end of both alpinism and sport climbing at the same time. If there’s one man who’s up for the task though, that’s the one and only Matt Helliker! 

Having lived his life at the crags, in the hills and on the mountains, he’s made his career pursuing some of the toughest alpine routes  in the world both locally and in the Himalayan greater ranges. To mix things up (ever the guy for a tough challenge!) he started working with Lattice last year, with Tom Randall as his coach and trying to achieve his goal of 9a sport. 

As a public speaker and also someone who’s great at explaining and articulating his passion, we thought it would be valuable to all of you, to sit the coach and athlete together on the Lattice sofa and let them chat for an hour! 

Grab a brew and settle in to learn about what it’s like working with a personal coach, how we deal with set backs and what training can be done when you’re juggling a lot of sporting interests! Please note that the audio on this recording was below our normal standard as Tom had just had his laptop run over by a car a few hours before. Whoops!
