Coach Tom Randall is BACK, and this time we've got 5 climbers joining the party! Tom coaches climbers from a wide-range of backgrounds on their climbing issues, including:

• How to train for resting better on route
• Overcoming mental blocks of not feeling ready to push into the next grade
• When to shift from a performance phase to weight training phase
• How much the average climber should focus on climbing vs off-the-wall training
• How to identify and then train up the three endurance energy systems
• How to build endurance on nothing but a hang board
• Tall climber issues and how to address them in the gym vs out on rock
• Blowing Ryan's mind about the measurement system in the UK
