Mulkey and his co-hosts discuss experiences of Adventure, Exploration, Ice climbing, Training, and anything else that intrigues them.

Episode summary:

Scott Johnston has been the man behind the scenes choreographing training for some of climbing’s and running’s most elite athletes including Kilian Jornet, Alex Honnold and Steve House. You may not recognize his name but you more than likely recognize his books, Training For The New Alpinism and  Training For The Uphill Athlete.

Until recently, he was a co-owner of Uphill Athlete and now owns Evoke Endurance. We dive into the breakup of Uphill Athlete,  the birth of Evoke Endurance, and Scott shares his training framework and lessons from his decades of training experience. This is a long one, but super informative for any athlete looking to elevate their fitness.
