They say age is just a number, but it's one thing

They say age is just a number, but it's one thing to say it and another to act like it. Catch Coach Hörst is one of the few masters athletes out there who talk the talk and walk the walk on optimizing performance as an aging athlete.

Eric's accomplishments largely speak for themselves as evidence of his uncanny ability to leverage his strengths as a climber long past the point when most other athletes call it quits. But in this podcast episode with Heather Heylen, licensed professional counselor and health coach, he dives deep into how he actually manages to keep up such high quality work on the wall at age 60.

Tune in to learn how athletes can prioritize recovery, maintain muscle mass, train effectively, and stay healthy—age be damned! Listen at the link in our bio 🎧

In honor of World Book Day, let's celebrate the bo

In honor of World Book Day, let's celebrate the book that helped kickstart the climbing boom! Coach Eric Hörst quite literally wrote the book on all things climbing training and led thousands of climbers to discover how much they could actually be capable of on the wall if they only applied themselves properly.

Ever since it first came out in 2002, Training for Climbing has been ahead of its time in terms of outlining the exact protocols climbers need to follow to see the growth they want. In such a relatively young sport, that's no easy feat. Our fearless leader did the work to understand all the nuances involved in climbing and put it on the same plane as mainstream sports.

There's a lot of information on how to train for climbing out there now, but there's still nothing like the OG that inspired everything else. If you don't have your own copy yet, you're only getting second-hand information! Don't kid yourself. Go straight to the source for a complete guide on strength, power, endurance, technique, mental skills, nutrition, recovery, injury prevention and more. Grab yours at the link in our bio!
