Join Scott Johnston for a chat with Roxanne Vogel. Roxanne is a doctoral candidate with a decade of R&D experience in the sports nutrition industry. Currently exploring interventions to improve physical and cognitive performance and adaptation to physiological challenges presented by extreme environments and prolonged exertion.

Join Evoke coaches Dave Thompson, Leif Godberson, and Maury Birdwell as they answer questions about rock climbing training and tactics submitted by the Evoke Endurance community.Show Notes:Training For Rock Climbing: https://evokeendurance.com/training-for-rock-climbing/

Join Evoke coach Leif Whittaker for a discussion with high-altitude mountaineer, and professional guide, Garrett Madison. They discuss their experiences climbing in the Everest region, including Garrett's Everest-Lhoste-Nuptse combination climb that Garrett created. They also discuss Garrett's climbing and guiding on K2, training for 8000 meters peaks, and other subjects such as gear, preparation, and technical skills for ascending the world's highest and most remote mountains. Learn more about Garrett and his services here:https://madisonmountaineering.com/garrett-madison/

Join Evoke coaches Scott Johnston and Leif Godberson for a discussion about the physiology behind different endurance training intensities.Different training intensities have different training effects. Endurance is a metabolic phenomenon, where strength is a neurological phenomenon. Learn about how specific levels of zone-base training converge to produce simultaneous increases in endurance, and the speed at which endurance is performed, and how to determine your own personalized intensity zones.This is the audio-only version of this discussion.
