How to Win Best Ranger with Vince Paikowski

Vince Paikowski has multiple combat deployments with the 75th Ranger Regiment, won the Best Ranger Competition in 2021 with his partner Alastair Keys, and has been involved in overhauling how the best teams now prepare for the competition. Teams using his training framework recently took 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th, and 7th in the 2022 competition. Vince's training approach has been heavily influenced by Uphill Athlete, so this serves as something of a continuation from our conversation with Scott Johnston. This discussion focuses on the importance of cardio base building and strategies for incorporating it into your training, but other topics include goalsetting to maintain motivation, strength training to support endurance events, and more.
