Dr. Alyssa Olenick drops into the Coach 'Em Up Podcast and delivers one of the most practical, no-fluff breakdowns of hybrid training you'll hear. She's got a PhD in exercise physiology, she's run ultramarathons, competed in CrossFit, and she's built a thriving online coaching business — and she's here to tell you exactly where hybrid athletes go wrong and how to fix it.

We're talking carb phobia, program hopping, recovery gaps, zone 2 cardio, power training, bone density, and why hard training is just... hard — no matter who you are. Dr. Olenick also gets real about burning out during her PhD, building Doclyss Fitness from passion (not profit), and why eating more carbs might be the single best thing you do for your performance.

If you're a hybrid athlete, a coach, or just someone trying to figure out how to balance lifting and cardio without destroying yourself — this episode is required listening.
