The Inconvenient Truth About Getting Good at Climbing
Lattice Training Podcast
Importance of Base Training
Base training plays a crucial role in developing peripheral muscular function and enhancing measures such as oxidative capacity and oxygen consumption at the muscle level. During base training, adaptations occur in the muscle, cardiovascular system, and peripheral system, such as increased capillary density, shorter oxygen delivery pathways, improved lactate buffering, and clearing. Similar to runners benefiting from long, low-intensity runs, climbers can experience similar adaptations by focusing on climbing-specific mileage and spending time on easier climbs, leading to enhancements like increased capillarity and mitochondrial variances.
