Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes! Alex's New Approach (and Coach) for Hybrid Training

About this episode

Alex discusses her significant change in training approach and coaching, exploring the mental aspects of such a transition.

If you know Alex, you know that she struggles with change. Especially big ones. And you also probably know how seriously she takes her training for running, strength, and triathlon. Which makes changing coaches and training programs probably the biggest and most impactful change that she's made since deciding to step away from a legal career. And a change that big deserves a podcast episode! So for this episode, we are diving deep on the drivers behind making a training change like this and how she is handling it mentally. Whether your interests lie in training and program design for hybrid training or in the more personal side of things, this episode is for you. 💪 Train With Us: Get access to expertly designed daily workouts at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.tacticworksout.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🥦 Need Personalized Nutrition Support?
