Electronic/Editable Yearly Planning Calendar?

[rctmdotcom]

"P" Asked:

Good morning. I am sure you are dealing with a slew of emails from your recent release, so will be brief.

Thank you very much for taking the time and considerable effort to produce such a high quality product. I really feel this is going to take me to the next level, as I seem to have plateaued in the low to mid .12s without significant progress.

Do you have, or recommend any program/resource for creating an online/electronic yearly planning calendar. I really like the way you have yours set up in the book, for both planning and tracking purposes, and was wondering if you used excel or something else? I have searched around but have not really found anything all that flexible. Thanks again.

P,

Great question. We created a blank calendar in Excel that you can
download for free from our website. Go here:

rockclimberstrainingmanual.com/tools-for-rock-climbing-training/free-downloads/

and click on the link for "2014_Training_Calendar_Blank"

It's not very fancy but it will allow you to create your own schedule.

Somewhere I remember you saying that the example on that spreadsheet was not typical to a normal training cycle for you (not able to get outside much, if I remember correctly).

Do you have a few more examples of real application of training cycles?

[MarkAnderson]

adrock,

The example in the Excel file was originally posted (and discussed) here: rockclimberstrainingmanual.com/2013/11/26/training-efficiently/

The example is unusual in that I was able to climb outside more often than I normally do, because my wife was on maternity leave at the end of September, so we had the opportunity to go on a trip to Lander, and then as soon as we got back the Government shutdown happened and I got another week off.

Anyway, I have many years of actually training cycles. I think that's a great idea to post some more examples. It will take some work to get them "translated" into english, but I'll get working on that....

Hey Mark,
I was wondering whether you got around to putting these together?

Thanks,
Jon
