We regularly get emails and texts from members of the various Special Operations teams we have worked with.  Below are a few examples with names and units redacted for security purposes.

  I am a member of one of the US military Special Operations units.  A friend of mine told me about your books two years ago. After reading them, I decided to revamp my training. It has totally changed my performance. Before reading your books, my training was typical of most guys in the SOF community, all short duration, high intensity. I had some decent performances, but I topped out quickly. 

     The other week, I ran a 12-mile ruck for the first time since changing things, and I was able to finish in 1:34. A PR of about 12 minutes, and I also recovered much quicker than in the past. This was with just a 3-day taper in the middle of my base period! I’m still quite a few minutes off Cpt. Paikowsiki’s time, but I’m excited about what I could do with a proper train-up. 

    I want to thank you for putting out so much free content. It makes a huge difference! Just from reading the books, listening to your podcasts, and watching the book clubs I feel I’ve been able to develop a decent understanding of the concepts and was able to build out my own training plan with the help of the new alpinism training log.  

      I was fortunate to be one of the first people in on the “secret” of what you were preaching in those days when my friend was really the only guy on the compound who knew about it, and it has been very cool to watch it spread throughout the ranks. You and the rest of the people at Evoke have certainly helped to increase our lethality!

Scott, just got back from Alaska and the guys wanted me to tell you and your team thanks for all the info. Definitely helped along the way. Did about 64 miles in 4 days in some pretty gnarly terrain. You could definitely tell who has been putting in hours. Hope all is well! RLTW.

Hello Evoke Endurance, I just want to thank you, Scott, for taking the time to talk to me about my goals for my second attendance for SFAS (Special Forces Assessment & Selection). I failed SFAS the first time in 2022 due to my lack of strength and endurance. It is no joke if anyone knows about it; I remember Scott telling me over the phone, “I want you to reach your full genetic potential.” From there, he introduced me to my coach, Vince. Having a coach who is also in the military and understands what we go through is amazing; Vince has taught me so much about rucking, grip/strength training, and running. Right before Evoke Endurance, I tried endless programs in which they explained almost nothing about zone 2 training or even how to combine endurance and strength training. All I did was just run to the point that my legs were dead and lift heavy till my body was too sore; Vince taught me the proper way to train. Train smarter, not harder, and recently, I made a second attempt at SFAS, and I’m very happy to announce I got selected! This time I came in stronger and faster, passed every event, and felt absolutely prepared.

Scott and Vince, thank you both for helping me reach my goals in fitness and getting me my dream job. And I’m glad to have come across this group; the work doesn’t stop, and I look forward to continuing to train with you guys.
