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
