The Margo Method
Strong and Soft
Book • 0
In The Margo Method: Strong and Soft, Margo Hayes blends personal experience, training practices, and recovery principles into a coaching philosophy centered on balancing strength with softness.
The book explains practical training routines (including her emphasis on 'arcing'), mental strategies for managing effort and fatigue, and lessons learned from injury and illness.
Hayes frames softness and strength as complementary qualities that, when balanced, promote peak performance and long-term resilience in climbing.
Drawing on her own elite climbing career and recovery from Lyme disease, she offers accessible guidance for athletes seeking sustainable progress.
The book serves both as a memoir of her evolving approach and a hands-on manual for climbers at various levels.
