On Today's episode of the Coach Em Up Podcast, Tim Riley links up with Alec Blenis — now a full-time Texas resident — for a duel Q&A you won't want to miss!

Alec breaks down his mission to run a sub-2:30 marathon while gaining lean muscle — naturally — and why he's spending over five figures on drug testing to prove it's possible. Tim pulls back the curtain on TRT, sobriety, and what it actually means to shift you coaching philosophy. We also roast optimization culture, talk running form, weird lifts, and set some very public training goals for each other.

There are two types of people on this planet: subscribers and non-subscribers. Don't be the latter.
