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.
