Episode Notes

Scott Johnston is one of the top coaches in the world, especially in mountain and high alpine sports. He's worked with Killian Jornet and recently coached both winners of the most prestigious trail race on Earth, UTMB (Tom Evans & Ruth Croft).

He's also author of one of my favorite training books, Training for the Uphill Athlete and founder of the Evoke Endurance coaching group.

This conversation focuses on fatigue resistance: 

  • What is fatigue resistance?
  • Local vs. global fatigue
  • Top workouts to build fatigue resistance
  • The role of the nervous system in fatigue

Scott's wisdom has helped the best runners in the world reach the top of the podium. I know it can help you, too.

Thank You Lever!

I'm excited to partner with Lever - a bodyweight support system that helps you run further or faster with less effort and injury risk.  

You’ve probably seen pro runners using Lever - it attaches to any treadmill and you hook into it like a harness. It effectively makes you lighter, enabling you to run more volume than you normally could with reduced injury risk, run faster with less effort, or return to running after an injury more effectively.

Lever allows you to do more running with less risk. From building mileage, introducing faster workouts, aiding your return to running after a break, Lever has a place in every phase of training. The pro’s have been using Lever for years, giving them the advantage of more training with fewer injuries.

They’re also common in physical therapy offices. Because you can run with less body weight, you can gain fitness and practice good technique without risking your recovery.

Go to levermovement.com and use code Strength20 for 20% off any system (and that’s with a capital S). If you’re injury-prone or are looking to take a big swing at your goals this year, now is the time for Lever. That’s levermovement.com with code Strength20 for 20% off any system.

Thank you to 2Before!

We are supported by 2Before, a powerful sports supplement made from New Zealand Blackcurrants designed to increase endurance, manage inflammation, support immunity, and promote adap
