    Post-Race Recovery: The “Now What?” Walk/Run EP 64

    You did it. The race is over. The finish line has been crossed. But now comes the part many athletes struggle with most: recovery. In this 30-minute audio-coached walk/run workout, Coach Alicia guides you through an easy recovery session while discussing the physical and emotional side of post-race recovery. Whether you just completed a marathon, half marathon, triathlon, HYROX, or another big event, this workout will help you move, reflect, and begin the recovery process. Along the way, you’ll learn: • Why recovery is where fitness adaptations actually happen • How to use Resting Heart Rate (RHR) and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) to monitor recovery • The importance of sleep, mood, and energy levels after a race • How to fuel properly with carbohydrates, protein, fluids, and electrolytes to speed recovery • Why it’s normal to feel the post-race “Now What?” blues • How to embrace Coach Alicia’s favorite acronym: F.A.I.L. — First Attempt In Learning Coach Alicia also shares personal stories from the Wineglass Marathon, Honolulu Half Marathon, and 70.3 racing experiences, along with lessons learned from races that didn’t always go according to plan. Whether your race was a personal best or a learning opportunity, this workout will help you celebrate what you’ve accomplished, reflect on what you’ve learned, and recover with purpose. Remember: Recovery isn’t a break from training. Recovery is training.

    Why You’re Training Hard But Still Not Getting Faster #63

    If you feel like you’re training hard but your pace just isn’t improving, this episode is for you. In today’s session, Coach Alicia breaks down one of the most common endurance training frustrations: working harder without actually getting faster. We’ll dive into why this happens, what most runners are getting wrong in their weekly training structure, and how to finally break through that performance plateau. You’ll learn the difference between easy Zone 2 running, controlled threshold work, and the mistake of living in the “grey zone” where you’re always tired but never truly adapting. Coach Alicia also shares real coaching insight, athlete patterns she sees every day, and the simple shifts that lead to real endurance gains. This episode includes a guided workout designed to help you feel the difference between aerobic development and true intensity

    HYROX-Inspired 45-Minute Threshold Run |ep. 61

    This one is spicy 🔥 In today’s episode, we’re taking on a 45-minute HYROX-inspired run designed to build strength, speed, and serious endurance, even if you’re not training for HYROX. This is a threshold-focused workout with layered intervals that challenge your ability to: * Hold a strong, “comfortably hard” pace * Shift gears under fatigue * Recover quickly and get back to work You’ll move through a structured warm-up, a dynamic main set packed with challenging, hard, and very hard efforts, and finish with a final push that simulates that race-day grind. Along the way, I’ll coach you through: * What threshold pace actually feels like (and why it matters) * How to pace using effort vs. numbers * Form cues to stay efficient as fatigue builds * And how this style of training translates to both HYROX racing and endurance performance

    In this episode, we guide you through a 40-minute Zone 2 calibration run designed to help you train smarter and finally understand your endurance zones.

You’ll start with a 10-minute warm-up before settling into a 30-minute steady Zone 2 run with real-time coaching cues to help you stay relaxed, controlled, and aerobic. After the workout, we break down how to analyze your heart rate data, check for cardiac drift, and adjust your training zones so your numbers align with how your body actually performs. You’ll also learn how to use the talk test and simple calculations to update your zones on platforms like Garmin, Apple watches, and TrainingPeaks. This episode is perfect for runners, triathletes, and HYROX athletes who want to build a stronger aerobic engine, improve recovery between hard efforts, and make their training data more meaningful. Because the strongest endurance athletes aren’t guessing their effort—they’re training with intention.
