Episode 197 of The Adventure Podcast features Scottish climber, Dave Macleod. Dave is celebrated for being one of the finest climbing all rounders in the world, from trad and sport climbing to winter mountaineering. He's best known for his bold and groundbreaking climbs, including Rhapsody at Dumbarton Rock, the first-ever E11 trad route. Dave isn't just about physical feats, he's also deeply interested in the mental side of climbing and loves sharing what he's learned through his writing, films, and coaching. With his mix of humility, passion, and a knack for tackling the impossible, Dave is one of the leading experts when it comes to understanding how to climb at an elite level. Dave previously came on the podcast (episode 091), but Matt asked him back on after hearing about the release of his new book ‘Moving The Needle' to give us some top level insights and to understand his own journey from very average, to one of the best climbers in the world.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-adventure-podcast.

Tucked away in a corner of Chilean Patagonia, Valle Cochamó wasn't going to stay hidden forever. The soaring unclimbed granite walls instilled dreams of first ascents in climbers. Industrialists eyed its free flowing rivers with their potential for hydroelectric power. Conservationists hoped it could provide a final puzzle piece of an incredible protected wildlife corridor. To the families who live there, it was simply home where they ranched amidst the 3,000-year-old Alerce trees. This is the story of how a coalition of Chilean gauchos, climbers and activists fought off development efforts for two decades. Now there is an opportunity for a lasting conservation victory.

5.13 at 78. That's staggering, but the numbers don't capture the breadth of Jamie Logan's climbing career, which now spans seven decades. Through every chapter of our sport, Jamie has been a contributor from pioneering free climbing in the 1960's to leading design trends of the modern gym. The risk she took in her 70's may ultimately prove to be the most lasting pillar of her legacy.

In one of my favourite episodes so far, I chat to Kevin Woods about his Winter Munro Round in which he completed all 282 Munros over the brutal winter of 2019/20. Delving into logistics and preparation for the Winter Munro Round gives a glimpse of Kev's incredible depth of mountain experience, having previously completed 4 (non continuous) rounds of the Munros. As an example of his meticulous planning, he carefully compiled a database of winter weather patterns over multiple winters, which he used to aid his decision making over the winter Munros project - in a winter season of relentless stormy weather. As if the continuous westerly storm cycles weren't enough, March 2020 brought with it new and unexpected challenges of a very different kind. Kev's recent Arrochar Round takes in all the Munros (4) and Corbetts (7) of the Arrochar hills, in a rugged 52km loop with around 6000m of ascent. Kev laid down a time of 13h54m for this round in his local hills, which could well become a connoisseur's classic. Our wide ranging conversation touches on many aspects of mountain culture including connection to place, historic depopulation of the land, changing land use and the intertwined history of the mountains with the people who live on and near them. Kev hails from Glasgow and takes us through his earlier mountain memories, which then led into climbing and longer linkups. From his beginnings its clear that creativity and the artist's aesthetic are large drivers for Kev - be that in his music, his media work or his many hills days themselves. In the course of working on a film about Sir Hugh Munro for the Munro Society, Kev has delved into stories from a bygone era, and through this has discovered a deeper understanding of the Scottish hills, not just as "cathedrals of our sport" but as places steeped in and changed by human history - from the Clearances to early map making, from Victorian attitudes to adventure and Land Access right through to modern pressures on the land. He also talks us through some of the climbing guidebooks he has been working on, previous adventures such as the filming of Dave Macleod's "24/8", and other projects, including an upcoming book on Winter 282.

Patient assistance programs can make a huge difference for patients who need expensive medicines but can't afford them. In this episode, Jeff Stewart talks with Dave MacLeod, Managing Director, Value & Access at Syneos Health about the benefits and challenges of patient assistance programs, which provide free or low-cost medicines to eligible patients. They discuss how these programs can improve access, adherence, and outcomes, as well as the operational and regulatory issues involved in running them. Covering key topics such as the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the impact of technology and AI in patient services, and the challenges posed by copay accumulators and maximizers, Dave sheds light on the complexities of navigating copay assistance optimization and the strategies employed to mitigate the effects on patients and manufacturers alike. For more from our Value & Access experts, check out these topics: Syneos Health Podcast | Real Talk About the Inflation Reduction ActBLOG: Industry Cheers “Co-Pay Accumulator” Ruling, Should Prep for What's Next Potential Impact of European Pharma Legislation on Commercialization and Access of New Therapies BLOG: What Can We Learn From ICER's New Value Framework Syneos Health Podcast | Market Access for Weight Loss Drugs MM+M Podcast | Gaining Access and Delivering Pull-Through in IDNs and Key Accounts  The views expressed in this podcast belong solely to the speakers and do not represent those of their organization.

Elite climber Magnus Midtbø returns to The Struggle with his business partner, Till Gross, to share their perspective on how climbers can improve at the sport by accessing A-list coaches and other climbing resources online.   - Magnus and Till are developing a pretty ambitious and impressive online coaching platform that includes some of the biggest names in the sport including Adam Ondra, Alex Megos, Hazel Findlay, Dave MacLeod, and Daniel Woods just to name a few. And in developing these courses, Magnus and Till are learning how us climbers can best absorb new information and apply it to our training and climbing… something that can help us all to level up, whether we work with a coach in person, scrape YouTube for the latest training advice, or enroll in Adam Ondra's course that he's building with Magnus and Till. We also touch on other topics, including the one thing Magnus learned when he was a newer climber that totally changed the game for him, what Magnus's big climbing goal is these days, and the YouTube video idea that ended up being just too sketchy for Magnus to go through with. Hint… it involves cheese. - BIG THANKS TO THE AMAZING SPONSORS OF THE STRUGGLE: Rungne: Try Magdust, performance chalk at a great price, and check out all of Magnus's other favorite gear.

Elite climber Dave MacLeod shares his struggles and breakthroughs in Training, Nutrition, Tactics, and Mental Game - Hailing from the highlands of Scotland, Dave has methodically worked his way up to the highest levels of the sport, and sits at the very top when it comes to heady trad ascents on the notoriously poorly protected gritstone in his backyard. He has bouldered up to V15 (8C), climbed 5.14d (9a), free soloed up to 14a (8b+), and put up E11 trad. His First Ascents are too many to name, but most notably he put up the world's first E11 trad route, Rhapsody, as well as Echo Wall which might even be harder. From boulders to big walls, rock to ice to mixed… Dave has a truly unique ability to zero in on very hard moves, with very scary exposure, and systematically break it down to a manageable process until the thing can be done. Beyond his performance on rock, Dave has been contributing to the sport for decades now, as a researcher, author, blogger, and YouTuber. He holds an undergrad degree in sports science and physiology, and dual masters, in exercise science and human nutrition. He knows his stuff and we dive deeeeep in this two-parter! - CHAPTERS: Struggle: 0:09:00 Training: 0:12:50 Nutrition: 0:30:22 - Follow along on Instagram @climbermacleod and @thestruggleclimbingshow Check out Dave's books, blog, and other resources at www.davemacleod.com Watch all of Dave's banger climbing content at youtube.com/@climbermacleod - BIG THANKS TO THE AMAZING SPONSORS OF THE STRUGGLE: PhysiVantage: the official climbing-nutrition sponsor of The Struggle.

James McHaffie needs no introduction, at least in the United Kingdom. His approach to bold onsight climbing, particularly free solos, is unparalleled. He's repeated the hardest sport climb in Wales, Big Bang (9a), sent Britain's hardest sea cliff, Dave MacLeod's The Longhope Direct (E10 7a), and made the first ascent of The Meltdown, a 9a slab in the slate quarries of his home in North Wales. And now he's written a book. But unlike many books released by elite climbers, this is not an autobiographical account of hard climbs in the face of relative adversity. Caff, as he prefers to be called, has written a fictional account of Eleri, a young woman amongst the slate quarries of North Wales who in the aftermath of a family suicide takes aim at British politicians who pushed for austerity and the conditions that led to such suffering. This conversation was such a gift. I can see even through all that rage that James is brimming with humanity, a trait sometimes in short supply. I hope you'll enjoy this one as much as I did. Support this project: Buy Me a CoffeeGet the newsletter: SUBSCRIBE ME!Show Notes and Links at Clippingchains.com Topics Discussed with James McHaffieDiscovering the Welsh rave scene after a midlife crisisLife and climbing in WalesClimbing origin story and why James gravitated toward soloingThe pressure to be boldWhy James isn't as well known in the USA near-death experience on the Masters Wall and how that affected his confidenceThe concept of modesty and how it has evolved in recent years: “Social media has been a shotgun to the head of modesty”The infamous Rab blog and why he wants to separate himself from his “Dark Lord” reputationBalancing financial security with elite climbingThe best job James ever had and why it is important for him to work with the underservedDealing with depression and dark times through his workThe events that inspired a novelA brief political debate and the role of public policy in shaping the lives of the poorDetails about the novel and his drive to write itHis 9-month experience writing the bookWhat financial security means to James and how he would live with financial freedomWhat James would change to make his life more meaningful in the futureSo much more!

Joy is...Love.Robbie Phillips is is a professional adventure climber and filmmaker from Edinburgh. His intrepid spirit has carried him across the globe, climbing, in his own words, 'every type of rock, in every style'. From an early career competing as part of the GB team and then working as the Scottish climbing team's head coach, he is now best known for his cutting edge ascents on alpine rock, including becoming the first Briton to climb the infamous 'Alpine Trilogy'. One of his latest challenges was climbing the world's hardest sea cliff ‘The Longhope' on St John's Head, Orkney, along with his climbing partner, Alex Moore. This big wall sea cliff had previously only been attempted by the most famous rock climbers, including Ed Drummonds and Dave Macleod. The documentary film that Robbie made of the effort, ‘Not a Hope in Hoy', premiered at Kendal Mountain Festival in 2022. I spoke to Robbie as he was putting the finishing touches to preparations for his upcoming 'Edge of the World' speaking tour, in both his capacity as a world-respected athlete and as a content curator with a flair for telling stories in an incredibly human, relatable manner.Robbie is nothing but himself, and our conversation gives a flavour of his deep and sincere connection to his country, to the natural world and to the 'tribe' that he has found few climbing. What became clear as we spoke is that Robbie's drive and hunger for adventure comes, not from the destinations, but from the journeys: the most significant of which has been with himself. He comments at one point that he doesn't really remember who he was before climbing: for him, it is the start, the vehicle and the fuel. Here are the traces of Robbie's journey, told with his characteristic, candour, humour, creativity and heart. There is no destination, only discovery – that's what makes it exciting.Instagram: @robbiephillips_You Tube: @RobbiePhillipsNot A Hope in Hoywww.robbieclimbs.comwww.urbanuprising.org Hosted on Acast.

In part 1 of a 2 part chat with Dave we discuss his radical Mcdonald's diet and how diets impact the environment. The modern zeitgeist would suggest that a meat heavy diet takes a heavy toll on the environment, but perhaps it's not always quite that simple!If you're thinking 'forget this, just inject the climbing chat straight into my veins' then part 2 will probably suit you better!If you enjoy the podcast and would like to support us, please check out our patreon! https://www.patreon.com/user?u=70353823Support the show

Josh and Tim start off by reminiscing about setting and what's actually going on behind the scenes. Then they dive into a topic Dave MacLeod raised in a recent YouTube video "Can you quantify climbing technique?". PS -- What do you think was the error Dave made when he was climbing at the 3 minute mark?

Welcome to part 2 of this interview with the climbing legend Dave MacLeod. This week Lattice coach Maddy delved even deeper into Dave's climbing and training approach, by diving straight into chatting about his famous nutrition experiments and approaches to balancing a keto diet with his own training and climbing.   We also hear more about Dave's personal standpoints on nutrition and the mental aspects related to dieting, particularly in the climbing world.  As providers of nutrition services and information to the climbing community, we know all too well about the risks and the strong feelings that can be attached to dieting*, especially alongside high intensity training, so this is also covered in this interview.  Don't forget to catch up on Part 1, where Dave and Maddy discussed;

This week we kick off with three hard, and scary trad climbs before moving onto the 9a roundup and bouldering news. We release the NEW teaser for our Gritstone film 'Friends Of The Grit'.

Dave is an entrepreneur, a facilitator, an educator, and a communication expert. In this interview, he shares practical insights on how leaders can help everyone in an organization access their full potential and ultimately scale communication. Coming up: • Why scaling should not be your top priority when starting a company? • Why thinking small can be useful when building a business? • Where entrepreneurs and business leaders are failing in the area of communication? • How can leadership bias affect the quality of communication in an organization? • What can you do to be a great leader and how to facilitate the process of sharing ideas in your team?

Episode 091 of The Adventure Podcast features Dave MacLeod. It's hard to summarise who and what Dave is, but if you had to condense it into three words, he's a climber, a filmmaker and an author. Dave was born in Glasgow but now lives in the Highlands where he spends as much of his time as he can climbing in one way or another. What separates Dave from most climbers is his ability as an all rounder. He spends just as much time adventurous traditional rock climbing at an elite level as he does winter climbing, bouldering, sport climbing and running in the mountains of Scotland. He's incredibly well travelled, but as time has gone by Dave has found that Scotland gives him practically all he needs, and as you'll hear in this episode he feels like there are multiple lifetimes of unclimbed rock to work with. We also touch on environmentalism in the highlands, and how his outdoor pursuits have led Dave to a wider understanding of the world around him.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-adventure-podcast.

Conversation is a powerful way for leaders to inspire and motivate their teams. It's also an opportunity to learn and make more effective decisions. Yet, engaging in conversations across an organization isn't always easy. In this episode of LeaderLab, we are joined by Dave MacLeod, CEO and co-founder of ThoughtExchange, to explore the importance of conversations in organizations. Based on his research and insights shared in his new book, Scaling conversations: How leaders access the full potential of people, he offers strategies leaders can use to engage in more meaningful, inclusive and productive conversations across teams. Dave shares the following insights: There's never been a more important time to include as many voices in the conversation: “There are a lot of problems to solve [in our organizations] and a lot of pressure to do it. There's a lot of change to our life and a lot of recognition of systemic racism and the recognition of power to drive our business, and there’s never been a more important time to hear from everybody who's impacted by these things. We’re at an exciting moment where leaders feel they can admit they have bias and enter the right conversations that will move things in the right direction. “That’s maybe a really exciting moment right now... that people can say, ‘Yeah, I agree. I admit I have bias. So now what?’” When dealing with polarizing topics, search for the common ground. “There’s ways to solve problems for two people who think very differently about how to make their business run faster and the same mechanism actually works when you have people who disagree strong – you have to find the common ground between them.” Use technology and tools to eliminate our bias from conversations. “The idea of getting people to share ideas and listen to each other without knowing exactly who said them will get us to really think deeply about and empathize with each other’s points of view.” Pick up Dave’s book to learn more strategies to scale conversations in your organization.

As an interesting turn to the guests I have on the podcast, Dave MacLeod is not a technologist by trade. He is a serial entrepreneur, and an old school face to face facilitator, who cares a lot about what people have to say and feel. He came out of college having taken every course under the sun, and getting zero degrees.. which prepared him perfectly to be a consultant. He lives in a small ski town called Rossland, in British Columbia. And it's important to him to be a good Dad, a good Son, and a good member of his community. Along the way, he got to do some interesting and complex work, where he heard voices representing many different viewpoints. In doing this, he picked up some facilitation techniques to figure out what was important within the diverse groups of people he was working with. He got hooked up with some people building software to solve a similar problem. This is the creation story of ThoughtExchange.

This episode is a a conversation between Mina and Dave MacLeod. Dave is a Scottish professional rock climber and mountaineer who is known for his systematic and scientific approach to training that helped him become a high level all round climber, climbing F9a sport routes, V15 boulders, Scottish XII mixed routes and E11 trad. Dave has authored two popular books on training for climbing and has been blogging and filmmaking since 2006. He has a BSc in Physiology, and MSc in exercise science and and MSc in Human Nutrition and has published sports science research in academic journals. Our conversation is really a two in one. In the first half we discuss his climbing achievements, how to become an all rounder, some of his harder/more dangerous routes, attitudes to risk and consequence and some unusual ways he has prepared for climbs. The second half of the conversation moves to his thoughts on nutrition and nutrition for climbers. Dave has been quite outspoken on this topic, and is well read to support it. We discuss his formal studies as well as his n=1 personal experiments, the relevance of evidence based advice and what is really going on in the body when you manipulate what you eat. Enjoy!

La mayoría de los escaladores entienden hoy en día que su nivel de escalada, sea cual sea su fuerza y su forma física actualmente, mejorará si mejora su calidad de movimiento en la roca. Estupendo! Pero por desgracia, nuestro deporte es muy reciente y los métodos más efectivos para mejorar tu técnica no están tan generalizados como otros aspectos clave de la escalada como la fuerza de dedos, la resistencia en los antebrazos o el peso corporal.   ¿Alguna vez te has subido a una vía dura pensando, voy a focalizarme en escalar con una técnica perfecta? Seguro que sí, y seguro que como todos , a los dos minutos estabas escalando peor que de costumbre, de forma torpe y petandote los antebrazos de lo lindo; frustrante no?. Esto pasa porque el pensamiento consciente hace que te muevas de forma más lenta, haciendo que se te cansen los brazos rápido. Además al ocupar tu atención en la técnica y no en la estrategia para escalar la vía cometes errores estúpidos, te estabas concentrando más que nunca y te escalas peor de lo normal. Fantástico!   La técnica es inconsciente A mi me ha pasado también. El problema es que la técnica de calidad, es por necesidad automática. La mayoría de las decisiones técnicas, como ya te comenté en el episodio 20 sobre la propiocepción, la desarrollamos de forma subconsciente. En una secuencia de escalada hay demasiadas decisiones que realizar de forma rápida en base a la información propioceptiva y sensorial que cuando interfieres con tu razonamiento consciente, lo entorpeces, tomando decisiones demasiado lentas y pierdes la coordinación. La mente consciente sólo tiene espacio para poner atención a unas pocas decisiones y movimientos a la vez, y es mejor reservarlo para la estrategia que vas a seguir y para mantenerte tranquilo.    Vaya Migue, entonces qué? ¿Cómo entreno algo que luego tiene que venir de forma automática? Pues no es nada complicado ni oculto, la técnica hay que trabajarla en vías o bloques muy fáciles, en las que tienes mucho espacio para pensar y procesar la información propioceptiva y sensorial que te llega. La verdadera clave es usar las vías o bloques de calentamiento para esto.    El calentamiento. ¿Lo utilizas o simplemente te mueves? ¿Qué haces cuando calientas? ¿Te subes a una vía fácil mientras hablas con tu compañero de cordada del sentido de la vida o vas recordando la de papeles que te esperan en el curro mañana? Imagina si usaras todas y cada una de las vías de calentamiento para refinar tu técnica, ¿no serías un escalador mucho mejor a lo largo del tiempo? También puedes ponerte a hacer vías fáciles o bloques de forma consciente para aprender técnica, pero para mí el calentamiento es clave, ya que siempre voy a hacer y me aseguro así de que no dejo atrás mi entrenamiento de calidad de movimiento. Además así tendrás un aliciente para no ponerte a calentar en vías duras, y tu musculatura te lo agradecerá.   Sin embargo, practicar vías duras también es importante, es donde vas a poner en práctica lo aprendido de una forma subconsciente, y donde vas a realmente fijar esos gestos nuevos o refinados. La diferencia es que cuando estés aprendiendo técnica, tienes que poner toda tu atención en la misma para mejorar, y cuando estés aplicando la técnica en vías duras, tienes que concentrarte en escalar, respirar y disfrutar, dejando que la técnica venga sola.   Visualización, una habilidad crucial Una habilidad crucial para mejorar en la escalada es la visualización, o mejor dicho, la capacidad de grabar en tu mente la escalada que acabas de hacer, reproducirla y revisarla en tu mente una vez acabas de terminar. Más que una visualización, la técnica que quieres realizar sería una experimentación, el ideal es ser capaz de sentir la roca, experimentar las sutilezas de los agarres, la textura, la gravedad tirando para un lado u otro, la musculatura tensándose y relajándose, el olor del magnesio, el sonido del clip del mosquetón. Como cualquier habilidad, ser capaz de grabar en tu mente y revivir una escalada no es fácil, requiere esfuerzo y práctica, no es algo que sea innato. De hecho expertos como Dave MacLeod estiman en años el tiempo necesario para desarrollar y dominar la visualización. Lo realmente genial de esta técnica es que se retroalimenta, y cuando empiezas a cogerle el tranquillo la vas a hacer incluso sin darte cuenta. Alguna vez te he comentado que el cerebro no diferencia entre los estímulos que imaginas y los que realmente están ahí. La respuesta neuronal ante una visualización bien hecha es la misma que la que tendrías escalando, por eso es tan poderosa esta técnica. Imagina que pudieras entrenar y practicar una vía todas las veces que quieras sin cansarte, ahora puedes! ¡Qué pasada! ¿no? Ten en cuenta, que a diferencia de otros deportes, cuando vas a escalar a la roca 3 o 4 horas, tendrás suerte si estás escalando 1, y normalmente pasarás moviéndote en la roca media hora como mucho. Como la cantidad de tiempo que puedes pasar escalando es pequeña, dada la exigencia física del deporte, tienes que aprovechar el tiempo que pasas entre pegue y pegue entrenando la técnica en tu mente. Si no utilizas este tiempo, si simplemente esperas a que tu cuerpo se recupere, estás con el móvil, charlando o esperando a que te llegue el turno; aprenderás más despacio, estás perdiendo un tiempo precioso.   Sin embargo, si aprovechas el tiempo entre pegue y pegue para revivir la escalada que acabas de hacer, si analizas que presas se sentían bien, que posiciones sentías en desequilibrio, si comentas con tu compi de cordada donde has tenido dificultad, que has sentido y planeas la estrategia a seguir para el siguiente pegue; entonces aprenderás más rápido, y todo esto sin gastar un segundo más que no haciéndolo. La planificación táctica y la visualización son componentes cruciales en el aprendizaje de la escalada, tanto como la propia escalada. ¿Fuerte no? ¿No te lo crees? Te pongo deberes, mirate en youtube el documental Silence de Adam Ondra, y estate atento a la importancia que le da nada más y nada menos que el mejor escalador del mundo.   Ahora imagínate la siguiente situación, que seguro que has experimentado. Entras a tu sala de bulder y ves a dos escaladores avanzados hablando al pie de un bloque haciendo gestos con las manos como si estuvieran escalando, comentando cada movimiento en detalle, las sutilezas de poner el talón un poco más alante o atrás del volúmen, de acometer la secuencia de una forma o de otra. ¿Qué están haciendo? Están entrenando la técnica, si señor! No crees que al cabo del tiempo aprenderán más que el otro escalador que da un pegue y se baja a pensar en las musarañas! Por supuesto. Y no entrenan más tiempo, ni más duro. Es sólo una pequeña pero gran distinción, los mejores escaladores utilizan para sí el poder de su mente, y además disfrutan con él.   Espero estar rompiendote la mente! Por no utilizar otras palabras! Como yo lo hice cuando empecé a estudiar la psicología de la escalada. Estamos siempre pensando en el mejor protocolo para la multipresa, en hacer más dominadas, en hacer circuitos más duros; y dejamos la mesa del aprendizaje totalmente coja. ¿Quieres mejorar tu técnica? Es fácil, no se trata de echar más horas, sino de cambiar tu mentalidad. ¿Fuerte no?   ¿Practicas la escalada o sólo escalas? Pues aún no he acabado, te traigo más tralla. Hoy he tomado mucho café y vengo a tope! Agárrate a la silla! ¿Practicas otros deportes? Te pongo el ejemplo del tenis, los tenistas hacen ejercicios para mejorar su técnica. Si has ido alguna vez a una clase, te podrás haber tirado media hora practicando el saque, luego otra media el drive y otra media el revés. Daba igual cometer errores, lo importante era practicar y practicar, refinar la técnica y tener la mentalidad de la práctica y no la del partido. ¿Haces esto cuando escalas? Me temo que no, pero ojalá me equivoque. La escalada es diferente ¿no? No practicas para luego ir al partido, vas a escalar y yasta! Incluso cuando vas a entrenar intentas tener buen rendimiento todo el tiempo. Vas a tope a encadenar esos bloques, a tener el mejor rendimiento posible. El resultado de esto es que aprendes de una forma más lenta de la que deberías. ¿Tan diferente es la escalada de otros deportes? De nuevo puedes dar un salto enorme en tu aprendizaje con un cambio de mentalidad. Si intentas siempre dar el 100% en cada aspecto, sin llegar a dominar efectivamente ninguno, tu aprendizaje se ve entorpecido. O peor aún, confundes el entrenamiento, o la práctica con el rendimiento, y te tomas días de descanso para ir fresco al roco, y descansas todo lo que el cuerpo te pide entre pegue y pegue para ir siempre perfecto. Si haces esto, practicas muchos menos movimientos por sesión, muchos miles menos al cabo del año. ¿Qué efecto crees que tendrá esto al cabo de los años? Hay que diferenciar la práctica del encadene. Si intentas ir a tope cada día que escalas, en cada pegue, como yo he hecho durante mucho tiempo; es fácil estancarse en el rendimiento. Es fácil de ver si te imaginas un jugador de fútbol que cada vez que va a entrenar lo único que hace es jugar partidos, mejorará mucho menos que el que practica durante la semana y juega solo los Sábados. Boom, te dejo que lo reposes! Vaya revelación, llevo haciéndolo mal todo este tiempo! No te enfades! Ahora tienes los conocimientos para cambiar, y es más, te voy a contar como.   Lo que te traigo a continuación es la clave, la madre del cordero del aprendizaje de la técnica, el secreto que utilizan los pros para mejorar su técnica día a día. El método complejo científicamente probado, el régimen perfecto. ¿Quieres conocerlo?   Clave primera. Utiliza el calentamiento, ya te lo he adelantado, utiliza tu energía mental para concentrarte en la técnica, pero no en toda a la vez, escoge un aspecto para mejorar cada vez. Prueba una semana a focalizarte en llevar los brazos estirados, otra en la colocación precisa de pies, otra en la velocidad y fluidez entre reposos, otra en la rotación de caderas, en gestualidades concretas, bicicletas, dinámicos, banderas… No te hace falta hacer ejercicios complejos, simplemente practicar y practicar lo básico, todos todos toooodos los días antes de empezar tu sesión de entreno o de roca. Desarrollar este hábito te va a hacer mejorar tanto que no vas a creertelo, de forma compuesta, serás mejor y mucho mejor cada vez, y sin pasar más tiempo en el plafón.   Clave segunda. No todos los pegues son pegues de encadene. Obvio no? Pues yo me he tirado al menos 7 años yendo a tope cada vez que ponía los pies en la roca. Aprende la técnica trabajando secciones pequeñas o movimientos de la vía de forma aislada. Perfecciona los movimientos y los enlaces entre secuencias. Pero no caigas en el error de probar las secuencias una y otra vez poniendo tu atención en simplemente hacerlas y apretar más. Pon tu atención en la calidad del movimiento, en encontrar la posición perfecta, el pie que te da más equilibrio, la mejor presa para grapar, las sutilezas de un reposo…Dar el 100% de tu esfuerzo físico en una vía es sólo la última parte del proceso de escalar y encadenar una vía, no el primero. Si te fijas en los escaladores avanzados escalando su proyecto, invierten mucho tiempo en cada sección, descifrando que movimientos se sienten mejor y cuales peor. Probando diferentes secuencias, infinidad de opciones. Así suceden dos cosas, la primera que se obtiene la secuencia óptima por eliminación y la segunda y más importante que la mente se ha visto expuesta a una infinidad de movimientos e información, aprendiendo que es lo que va bien y mal en una situación particular y va a crear patrones, técnicas que te van a ayudar cuando te encuentres en una situación similar.    Entonces, el cambio de mentalidad está en qué te focalizas cuando escalas, no en pasar más tiempo en la roca. Olvídate de encadenar siempre y aprovecha las oportunidades que tienes para convertir tu sesión de roca en práctica de escalada.   Para terminar cito textualmente a Dave MacLeod “Pasa más tiempo aprendiendo a escalar.

Dave Glock, Jack Fish, and Dave MacLeod reflect on their time and service at Emmaus Bible College as they retire from full time teaching.

I've been hearing more and more about the ketogenic diet in the climbing world. For instance, Dave MacLeod and Neil Gresham have had success with it and I expect that a lot of people will want to try it for themselves. I researched the diet quite a bit a few years back and then experimented with it on my own. I've helped nutrition clients onboard to a ketogenic diet, and I've talked with a lot of people about the difficulties and successes they've had with it. It's a really interesting topic, partly because everyone is so different that it may or may not work for you. It didn't work for me (for reasons I'll explain in the episode), but it may work for you. And who knows - if I'd done things differently it may have worked for me. In this episode, I explain: What the ketogenic diet isWhat the macronutrient ratios areHow to know if you're actually in ketosisWhy people like the ketogenic dietThe difference between the ketogenic diet and Paleo/PrimalWhat foods are pretty much no-no's on the dietMy experience and mistakes on the dietMy goals are to help you understand it a little better and maybe to help you avoid some common mistakes if it's something you're interested in trying. I'd love to know what your personal experience with it has been, and if you have any questions about it just leave them in the comments below! Thanks for listening :)

  About Dave MacLeod Dave MacLeod is one of the most famous climbers, having put up many first ascents of sport, boulder, mixed, and trad climbs. Honestly, I'm not going to do him justice with a short introduction of his climbing and career, as he's accomplished so much in his 37 years. So here's his Wikipedia page. Please read it - it's fascinating.  What We Talked About His climbing career How he's trained for different projects How mixed climbing helps him to train for sport and trad  The mistakes most climbers make in their training Excelling even when the pressure is on How he deals with fear on scary routes His secret diet (exposed! woohoo!)

Investors. They are the beings out there amongst us that with the wave of a wand and the signing of a cheque have the magical ability to help turn ideas into companies, and companies into even bigger companies, when everything comes together. One of the biggest most challenging questions in the business world, is "How the heck do I find my perfect investor?" and "When I find them, how do I convince them to write me a big fat cheque? The simple answer is often a lot of hard work, trying, failing, learning, and trying again until you match the perfect pitch with the perfect investor. That's not always the case though. Jim Firstbrook and Dave Macleod of Thoughtexchange have been running a tech company out of the Kootenays for a number of years now, and have done so successfully. With millions of dollars in revenue and a broad base of clients for their software things look to be going very well. No true entrepreneur is ever happy to settle though, and so Jim and Dave made some critical changes at the company, and went out for investment to keep growing toward their billion dollar company goal. The end result was a $7 million dollar investment at a $50 million dollar valuation and nine out of eleven pitches proving successful. How did they do it, and what's coming next? We sat down in AZcreative's Rossland studio to find out.

TalkFEED — The 2013 UCI Mountain Bike World Championships have concluded in Pietermaritzburg and I don’t know about you, but I feel kind of deflated.

Pipes and PT discuss their favorite guitar shops, play twenty questions, and give a nod to GOW Mark Knopfler in this Retro Zone Episode. Stay tuned until the end to hear a new outro track courtesy of Dave Macleod!

It's a group interview with Dave Macleod and Barbara Olson, constructors from Canada. In the original series of Fill Me In (2008-10) there were rarely (if ever) show notes -- or if there were, they were lost to the blurry mists of time. But seriously, if you're going back to these old chestnuts, do you need show notes? No, you're a die-hard, stop-at-nothing, rabidly fanatical minion who will hungrily consume the glory days through badly recorded annals of Ryan and Brian lore. Your journey awaits.
