Jakob Schubert quarantine training

How has the Coronavirus affected your daily climbing life? Of course, it’s a bit difficult to not go anywhere, especially since the weather is so amazing right now here in Innsbruck, Tyrol. But at least I have a nice garden where I can still enjoy the sun and fresh air. We already installed our beastmaker outside with some ropes since it couldn’t hold the walls inside anymore. We broke it down half a year ago, so we had to be creative to mount the beast maker outside. By now we have two hang boards outside, so everyday we do a couple things out here. What is really cool is that I’m living together with Michael Piccolruaz, a South Tyrolean who has a good chance to become an Olympian as well, so we’re training together and it’s always easier if you’re two. It’s way more motivating and fun. I’m also trying to use the time to work on some weaknesses like mobility and flexibility, so I’m stretching and I do mobilization exercises, but to be honest, I always hated these parts of the training. I’ve always been the person who’s super psyched and motived to climb as much as possible but things like stretching and hang boarding I’ve never really enjoyed that much, so it’s not the easiest for me. I definitely try and put the effort in and take this opportunity to grow as a person and work on the things I don’t like as much. Other than that I’m lucky that also my girlfriend is at my place so I get to spend time with her. Besides climbing I have a second passion, online gaming, and it’s a good time to connect with some friends and play some games.
