Thank you Andrew Bollard, appreciate the great information, very helpful. I live in Washington state, so have many mountains very close by. Last September, before I knew about this evoke endurance training methodology, I climbed Pahto (Mt. Adams), 1700m to 3700m in 10 hours car to car, as my weekend warrior style training. Will be interesting to see if this September I have a different experience and time. Mountains are different every day, but still will be a fun comparison.
Scott thanks for the additional context and options. That was a great podcast, as always. I appreciate the knowledge you and your guests share. If my orthopedist tells me I’m a good candidate for stem cell therapy, and it works for me, maybe this is something within the realm of the possible for me. coach Leif might say maybe not, but always good to have a super stretch goal. 😉
Is the last book club session being posted to YouTube by chance? I was able to attend live last time. Thanks!
Thanks Scott – This is my first time through with this methodology, and being a person who needs to know something not just have faith in something I’ve had my moments of doubt and fear. After 10 weeks I know the Aerobic Base phase helped me a ton. I won’t get greedy and will stay the course in the Max Strength and ME phases, and will see if I perform well in Denali.
The other thing I know, thanks to your vault classic Podcast with Phil Mafatone, is my diet was killing me. Following his diet plan has been a game changer on my weight, recovery, performance, mental state, and sleep. Can’t say enough how much this has improved my quality of life in literally 2 weeks.
Thanks for you and your team’s work!

I do hero’s pose for 5 minutes in the morning when I roll out of bed, and at evening to keep my knee pain to a minimum. You know your body best, so a couple of modifications that can help: closed knee child’s pose, sitting with a towel between your heels and glutes, or using your hands to bear some of your weight. I sit in toe pose for 2 minutes after to counter the stretch on my ankles. The other one that helps my personal knee pain is sitting in a yogi squat, again work-up to 5 minutes. Nose breathe to help release all the muscles around your knee joint, and help you get through the discomfort of the poses.
I had my oldest daughter, a former D1 athlete (wow just realized she graduated 4 years ago) do this over the last 3 weeks and the tweak is gone from her knee.
If you think these stretching exercises may help you, give them a try twice daily for 2-3 weeks. Scan your body if you do, you know yourself best. Whatever you do I hope the niggle goes away.
I just started the strength training phase of the 24 week plan. Hope your training is going well Ryan.
Note I am a yoga practitioner and instructor, not a medical professional. Just offering up what works for my knees.
