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.

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.
