Scott Johnston was featured on the MOPs & MOEs podcast, a top source for all things fitness for tactical professionals.

Episode notes:

From starting out as a D1 collegiate swimmer to coaching Olympic medalists to training operators for the most elite selections, Scott Johnston has a lot of experience when it comes to knowing how to produce high performance. A core element of his methodology is a massive emphasis on aerobic base building, and his results speak for themselves. In the most recent Best Ranger Competition six of the top ten teams prepared by following training from Uphill Athlete (now Evoke Endurance), Scott’s company. In this episode, Scott explains the foundations of his approach and why methods developed for training mountain athletes work so well for tactical athletes.
