From Guesswork to Data-Driven Progress

For years I didn’t have a coach — I thought I knew what I was doing. But the days of following random internet workouts or generic “6-month plans” that aren’t tailored to anyone are over. Even the old-school style of yelling at a group to “do 8×800 as hard as you can” is outdated.

We’re in a new era of training. Almost every athlete has a smartwatch now, and that technology gives us real metrics: sleep quality, recovery status, heart-rate trends, training load, and how a workout actually went. With this data, a coach can adjust your training so you recover properly and actually absorb the work instead of guessing or overtraining. If you’re not recovering from a workout, you’re not really benefiting from it.

And here’s the truth — even if you never work with Alpha Performance Coaching, you should still get a coach. Find someone who understands the data and lives the process. The accountability alone will push you to levels you’ve never reached and save you from spinning your wheels. If you’re already putting in the time, why not make every minute count?

Training should make you stronger, not bury you. It should stack bricks, not tear them down. With smart coaching and modern data, athletes are getting faster and fitter than ever before.

Be one of them.
