I recently received an email from someone asking for a podcast episode that talked about resting. They wanted to know how elite/pro level climbers spend their rest days, how often they rest when they’re projecting, when they’re training, and generally just how they think about rest. So I reached out to a bunch of elite climbers and got 13 responses to these three questions:
- How many days a week do you rest when you’re projecting? What about when you’re in a training cycle?
- What do you do on your rest days in terms of physical activity when you’re projecting? What about when you’re in a training cycle?
- How old are you and how long have you been climbing?
They sent me emails or a voice memo and here’s who responded:
- Emily Harrington
- Alex Honnold
- Lynn Hill
- Hazel Findlay
- Jonathan Siegrist
- Bill Ramsey
- Katie Lamb
- Paige Claassen
- Matt Pincus
- Alex Stiger
- Luke Parady
- Sam Elias
- Dusty Rasnick
In this episode I’ll give you a short bio of each of these climbers and then either read or play you the recording of their response. Hopefully you learn something from this episode, but mostly it’s just interesting to see how pro/elite climbers approach resting. Enjoy!
