Larry Goldie is joined by professional climber, and mountain guide, Alan Rousseau. Over his career, Alan has managed to tackle some incredible personal alpine climbing objectives while balancing a career as a full-time mountain guide.

Join host Scott Johnston for a conversation with Joey Wilson that covers the methods Joey used to measure improvement in his aerobic capacity.  Being a data scientist, Joey employed some tools that the rest of us can learn from. Joey approached Scott with some well thought out training questions about five years ago after some poor race performances. Since then, with the help of Scott, Joey has drastically changed his approach to training. His performance has increased drastically and he has the receipts to prove it.  An article containing some of the hard data that Joey compiled can be found here: https://evokeendurance.com/measuring_zone_2_training_effectiveness/
