Any recommendations for someone to put together an effective targeted winter training programme to help an old man get strong enough to climb harder?

I used Tom Greenall (infact this threads reminded me I need to get in touch with him again), and I know another couple if mates who've used him. I'd definitely recommend him.

I am an old man too, and had a few sessions with Katherine Schummacher. Produced a great winter training plan, mainly focussed around stamina and power, and worked a treat. Would definitely recommend

Tom Randall is supposed to be excellent for that kind of thing. He was recommended to me by Lucy Creamer on a recent women's coaching trip.
