In this episode, we learn about what goes into making the event happen, the logistics for mapping out the course, and finding local schools to help celebrate and cheer on all athletes.

Enjoy our discussion + MORE covered in this week's episode you won't want to miss! I enjoyed my chat with Meryl - she is AWESOME!

San Diego has a special place in my heart since it's the race where I took 14 minutes off of my Los Angeles Marathon PR in 2016 and Qualified for the 2017 Boston Marathon with a finish time of 3 hours and 21 minutes while running it for the first time. As I came back from an injury and took as I took on coaching as my full-time profession, I continued to enjoy evolving with the sport of distance running. Last October, I snagged a new 19-minute PR competing during the pandemic in October, running the Rock 'n' Roll San Diego Marathon, finishing with an official time of 3 hours, 02 minutes, and 48 seconds. I'm training to run a faster marathon, and I'm honored to say I will be returning for the 25th anniversary Rock 'n' Roll San Diego Marathon in June 2023. I look forward to partnering with Rock 'n' Roll San Diego next June and sharing with you some things that make this race my number #1 favorite marathon during my discussion with half marathoner and amazing Race Director, Meryl Leventon! The pictures say it all. The energy is electric; the crowds are contagious, and the weather is to die for - I cannot rave about it enough! Please don't take my word for it. Enjoy my discussion with Meryl about the course and the beautiful hills and energy that make this race so special! I look forward to partnering with the organization for future initiatives. The best has yet to come!   

If you're thinking of a marathon to sign up for in June and want a fantastic experience or a new PR, the Rock ‘n’ Roll San Diego Half Marathon or Marathon is a MUST!

In today's solo episode, I answer questions about the long run in a marathon training program. I discuss who it's for, what to do for it, when to do it, where it goes in your schedule, why it's an essential training run in your marathon build-up, and how to progress your long run to become your strongest running self, tied with a little personal story you might be able to relate!

A few tips:

Get the experience to know you can do every long run you set out to do. Walk part of the long run if that's what your body needs. Be honest with yourself. Write your chapter to your book. You are your only competition.

Have a goal to fuel your purpose and push mile by mile. Thousands of strangers are enduring the same pain of the "longest run" on race day. Together, you can do it!

Keep yourself strong. Show up for yourself run after run, no matter what. Make no excuses. Push your body and your mind further. Do not give up. Endure the hurt because you are capable.

Fight. Push. Experience breakthroughs with dedication, resilience, consistency, and hard work. You'll believe in yourself and show up for yourself run after run. No matter what.

We're only aware of the fraction of the things we're capable of; our limitations are in our minds.

I suggest incorporating this mobility routine before and after your long runs to help you recover quicker. Keep your major joints and muscles limber and loosened up to prime your body for what's next long run after long run.

Here is a foam rolling tutorial to do before and after your long runs. Foam rolling is excellent self-care and keeping your muscle fascia loving you as it should! Recover smart around your longest training runs. Grab a foam roller on amazon using this link right here.

This episode discusses how training at an elite level takes time, discipline, and dedication. Alyssa shares tips for training for your next marathon, whatever your goal is for that race. Consistency, above all, is the biggest takeaway, and honing in your recovery and nutrition strategy throughout your entire marathon build-up can make or break your race!
