Have you also slowed down - or even stopped - climbing during the holidays?
Fortunately, your good back-to-work resolutions are there: registration in the room, planning of 3 weekly sessions, a goal for next summer…
But beware ! You'd better not go too fast...
Climbing, it is well known, is a thankless sport, and the recovery could be abrupt! You know it ! But the good news is that technique is not lost, like cycling!
So be gentle with yourself to avoid a laborious recovery. Some advice for a successful climbing back to school:
- First, be confident: it will come back! And faster than you think! So try to be patient.
- Do not set yourself too ambitious goals at the risk of discouraging yourself and hurting yourself. Your mind and your body need a little time before attacking in the deep: grant them with first sessions rather short and below your maximum level, otherwise it is the guaranteed injury, and that, that would be pity ! On the other hand, a good idea to stay motivated over time may be to set a medium-term, even long-term goal, with others, on a site that appeals to you!
- The important thing is to have a good time, so go to the room when your friends are there too, or to meet new acolytes!
- Do not hesitate to vary the places and practices to avoid a too rapid return of monotony.
- Finally do not ignore the warm-up, and take into account the interest of de-escalation for a smooth and effective recovery!
Back to sports is also synonymous with back to work for you and - if necessary - back to school for your children. Difficult to reconcile everything? Not necessarily: why not release an evening by planning a climbing session in the week between noon and two at work? If you work near a room of course!
In any case, our team wishes you a very good start-over!
