In today's podcast episode, Tom Randall sits down with James Pearson, one of the most exceptional climbers of his generation in the UK. Tom and James discuss his impressive career, which started with him pushing the cutting edge of the UK climbing scene in trad and hard bouldering as a teenager, after just four years of climbing. Since then, James has climbed all over the world, making a name for himself by establishing and repeating many of the world's hardest trad lines, and flashing V13s back when almost no one in the world was doing it.

Despite James's numerous accomplishments, he remains a relatively unknown figure outside of the climbing world. In this podcast, Tom and James dive deep into how he has maintained his consistency of performance and what really drives him. They also discuss his recent achievements, such as completing the hardest trad route of his career and coming close to flashing Neil Gresham's bold new E11.

This episode promises to be an insightful and inspiring discussion for climbers and non-climbers alike. So, whether you're a fan of hard climbing or just looking for motivation, be sure to tune in and listen to James's story, available on various platforms, including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher etc., and learn from one of the best climbers out there.

In this podcast, coach Maddy Cope talks to Joy Black who you may know as @calliejoyblack, who returns for another insightful episode. Joy is a strength coach for pregnant and postpartum climbers and is currently 10 months postpartum herself. She educates about the pelvic floor, strength training and breathing as they relate to training during pregnancy and after birth.

In this podcast, the conversation is all about Diastasis Recti. Diastasis is one of the most common terms seen online when looking into exercise during pregnancy and postpartum. As with many topics, the wealth of online information doesn’t necessarily make it clear what it is and how best to climb and train during pregnancy and postpartum to minimise the impact and allow good recovery.  So in this episode, Maddy and Joy hopefully can clarify it for you.

In this podcast Joy explains:

• What diastasis is and why it happens during pregnancy
• Common misconceptions
• Explains the difference between coning and doming and what these signify
• How to feel and monitor your diastasis
• The role of the deep core muscles and how we can manage the stress on our linea alba
• A practical way to find your deep core 
• Core training for climbers during pregnancy and postpartum
• Hanging exercises during pregnancy and returning to these postpartum
• Ways in which we can modify or find appropriate exercises, taking diastasis into consideration
• Ideas for warming up before climbing to help connect to our breath and deep core

In this podcast Maddy talks to Steve Thompson from Sheffield Hallam University about power and how we may approach developing our power for climbing. 
Power is an element of training that can cause a lot of confusion, yet it is an attribute that many climbers put on a high pedestal and seek to improve. Steve explains what power is and how we can best think about power when it comes to sports (and climbing). He talks about the big picture approach to developing power in a sustainable way, as well as different ways in which this may be integrated into a person's training:

• The definition of power and how we can think about this in a sport context
• The relationship between force and velocity
• Intention and monitoring training
• Approaches for developing power
• Intention in training

In this podcast, Maddy talks to Uzo Ehiogu, a physiotherapist, lecturer and strength and conditioning coach, about lower limb injuries in climbing. With an increasing amount of information about injuries in climbing, we find ourselves swimming in content focused on the upper body (shoulders, elbows, fingers). This is understandable given the nature of climbing, however, it can lead us to neglect the lower body when it comes to understanding injuries and strength development. The lower body plays a huge role in tension in climbing and in this podcast Uzo discusses:

• The common lower limb injuries in climbing
• The mechanisms of injury in the lower body when climbing
• Differences between approaching acute and chronic injuries
• How to approach rehabilitation back to full strength
• Differences between lower limb injuries in climbing compared to other sports such as football
• Methods for developing strength for heel hooks after injury (or before!)

Uzo is the lead clinician at Inside Edge Physiotherapy,  a physiotherapy clinic for climbers based in Birmingham (UK) at the Depot Climbing Centre: https://www.insideedgephysio.com.

Uzo is also an author and co-author of book chapters in The Shoulder Theory and Practice (High performance rehabilitation for the climbing athlete),  and Climbing Medicine - A practical guide  (Chapter 21 Injury prevention, Chapter 20 Climbing rehabilitation).

 
And if you enjoyed those reads, then also take a look at his peer reviewed journals on climbing injuries and speed climbing training:

In this podcast, Ella Russell talks to Dr Nicky Keay, an honorary clinical lecturer in the division of medicine at University College London.  She lectures and researches in areas of exercise endocrinology, with publications in this field. Nicky’s clinical endocrine work is mainly with exercisers, dancers and athletes, with a focus on relative energy deficiency in sport (RED-S) and athletes navigating perimenopause/menopause.

In addition to being the author of the British Association of Sports and Exercise Medicine (BASM) Health4performance.co.uk online resource. She is also a medical advisor to Scottish Ballet and a keen dancer herself.

With her recent and first book, “Health Hormones and Human Potential: A guide to understanding your hormones to optimise your health and performance”, we couldn't wait to have her back on the podcast!

Some of the topics covered in this podcast are;

• What hormones are and why they are so fundamental to our bodily functions.
• How hormones influence our adaptations to training (or not as the case may be).
• What can happen when we don’t get the balance of training/climbing, recovery and nutrition right from a hormonal perspective.
• How do we spot if we’re moving into a state of non-functional overreaching and when this might tip into overtraining syndrome;
• What can we do if we find ourselves in a state which points towards non-functional overreaching? 
• How can AI help us to identify if we are getting the balance right hormonally.
• How do our gut microbes use hormones to influence our physical and mental health.
• What can we do to improve our gut microbiome diversity and when should we do this.
