Summary

Today, I am resharing one of the most valuable episodes I have ever recorded. This episode with Tom Randall was originally aired on Patreon in Feb, 2022. We talked about how to use your friends to discover your strengths and weaknesses, how to work backward from goals, how long it takes to make major changes in your climbing, like switching from bouldering to sport climbing, and much more. Don’t skip this episode if you are a self-coached climber.

0:00.0	Hello, friends, and welcome to the Nugget Climbing Podcast. This is Stephen Dimmit, and today I am
0:07.1	resharing one of the most valuable episodes I have ever recorded on the show. I originally
0:13.5	published this episode four years ago in February 2022 on Patreon. So this is the first time
0:20.7	this episode is available for free. And it felt appropriate
0:24.7	to share it again right now because it's the right time of year. My guest for this episode is
0:30.2	Tom Randall. You know him as one of the wide boys and as an amazing crack climber and off
0:35.3	with climber. He's also the co-founder of Ladis Training,
0:38.4	which is likely the biggest and most successful
0:41.0	climbing training company in the world.
0:43.2	And this episode was essentially a master class
0:46.8	in how to organize and program your training
0:50.5	and move toward your goals,
0:52.9	especially if you are a self-coached climber. I don't care who you are
0:56.9	or what your goals are. If you are interested at all in improving your climbing, you won't want to
1:03.5	miss this one because it is absolutely packed with nuggets. And even if you've heard it before,
1:09.7	it's worth another listen because it's a new year.
1:12.7	Everyone is thinking about what they want to accomplish and how they want to train. And this is
1:17.1	one of those evergreen episodes with truly timeless advice. I mentioned towards the end of this
1:23.4	episode that I put together a PDF with key takeaways as a reference sheet for you guys.
1:28.3	And that is now free to download as well.
1:31.2	Just use the link in the episode description or head over to the show notes at the nuggetclimbing.com.
1:37.4	Find this episode and you can download it right there.
