I have to admit, we had a lot of fun with this topic we are about to get into. It’s a highly debated topic in climbing. There’s passion on both sides. Some will say you need it, others will say it’s trash. So what are we talking about?… running!

This video will be all inclusive. We will cover the 3 reasons for and 3 reasons against running if you’re a climber.

Be sure to stay tuned until the end!! After the “for” and “against” sections I’ll finish with the most important section: The “ultimate takeaway” which will have my recommendations on if you should or should not run and how to incorporate running if we decide that’s best.

Also, definitely be sure to check out the show notes on the site! We have all the articles listed and the key take-aways to help you make your decision. It also has the easy route to planning out your 75% HR if you are interested in running.
