EPP: Building the program Overview

The Evergreen Performance Program (EPP) is the training plan I would follow for the rest of my life.

If, at 70 years old, I still wanted the strength, stamina, and freedom to explore the natural world by foot, bike, or paddle — or the ability to shoot hoops and kick a soccer ball with my grandchildren — this is exactly what I would do.

EPP isn’t about chasing peak performance at all costs. It’s about maintaining the capacity to play, explore, and live fully — for life. While keeping your body ready to go all in when that competitive whisper beckons.

Why EPP Works

This program gives my body just enough of what it needs every week to:

• See steady progress

• Feel strong and pain-free

• Move with confidence in any activity

It’s a foundational program with a minimalist mindset: only what’s essential, nothing wasted. Just enough strength, just enough power, just enough movement variety to keep progressing and expanding your edges.

It’s training that fits into a busy life now — when I’m working 50+ hours a week — while staying adaptable to the seasons of life ahead, when kids, family, and new responsibilities arrive.

Always a Home Base

The Evergreen Performance Program isn’t about preparing for one specific race, competition, or event.

It’s about building a home base of training — the foundation you always return to in between specific goals or objectives.

Rooted in consistency and progression, but flexible enough to adapt to any season of life, EPP is a program designed to carry you forward, whether you’re 35 or 65.

The Start of a Bigger Vision

The Evergreen Performance Program is the first step in what will become the Evergreen Performance Suite: a family of training paths designed to meet athletes where they are and carry them forward into who they want to become.

This is the starting point — timeless training for athletes who refuse to fade.
