Running Motivation: Mindset Tips From Elite Runner, Alyssa Salese

Alyssa Salese, a member of Central Park Track Club and Former Colleague at Equinox, joins the show's Host, (me) Run Coach Alli. 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! It's not about the times; it's about preparing your best you to tackle your finish line race day! I always love speaking with Alyssa. She was the only other trainer starting in the fitness industry that was a fellow runner at Equinox with me at the time. From the moment I met Alyssa, running brought us together, and ever since, we've remained friends.I look forward to tackling some long runs this summer with her and can't wait to share this episode.
