This is a simple work out, that can become more complex as the climber's training progresses, one of the keys to maximizing this workout is active rest. Here inactive rest is stepping off the wall to recover, or simply ceasing all upward movement while staying on the wall.
Fartlek- Unstructured intervals for endurance/ power endurance.
This is a simple work out, that can become more complex as the climber's training progresses, one of the keys to maximizing this workout is active rest. Here inactive rest is stepping off the wall to recover, or simply ceasing all upward movement while staying on the wall.
In this interval training, the climber will recover with active rest which is resting using slow and easy moves on the wall.The point is for the climber to push themselves to a higher intensity, and then recover. With Fartlek training, climb 10-30 hard moves for the first interval followed with active rest. Each active rest will be followed by a sprint, with 4-20 sets of sprint periods. Each sprint should take approx a minute, followed by 3 to 3.5 minutes of active recovery.
A Fartlek session with twenty sprint sets of twenty moves per set should last 80 minutes with about 1000 moves. |
