Road to V8: Post-Send Adjusting my Training to Support New Goals

About this episode

Ryan Devlin discusses his training adjustments with coach Kevin Cuckovich after achieving a climbing goal.

A casual catch-up with coach Kevin Cuckovich from Kilter (alliteration overload!!!!) to chat through my training plan now that I sent the rig, and how we'll adjust things this spring and summer to help support my sport climbing goals while maintaining all of my hard-earned boulder fitness. If you'd like to train with Kevin, you can reach him at training@kiltergrips.com I'm on spring break vacation with the fam and not supposed to be working, so I'm going to go bury my kids in the sand and eat my bodyweight in Oreos now. Hope you're having an awesome day!
