Listen Later

In this episode of RUNWITHALLI LIVE, Coach Alli sits down with Alec Scheerer, founder of American Track Ascension, for a deep dive into the mindset, methods, and mission behind his innovative coaching platform.

Alec shares his journey—from his own athletic background to coaching runners of all levels—and the pivotal moments that shaped his unique philosophy: running more isn’t always the answer. Together, we explore how he structures his programs to balance aerobic development, speed work, strength training, and recovery in a way that keeps athletes progressing without burnout.

You’ll also hear a powerful story about an athlete who broke through a major plateau, and what ultimately made the difference in their training and mindset. Plus, Alec opens up about what inspired him to serve such a wide range of athletes through American Track Ascension—and what made him say yes to joining us on the show.

Whether you're chasing a PR or looking to break through your own performance ceiling, this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.
