What the Heck is Adventure Racing? with Alyssa Godesky (Replay)

This episode originally dropped on June 20, 2025

Joanne, Katie, and Kelly are joined by endurance athlete, FKT record holder, and former IronWomen host, Alyssa Godesky, for a deep dive into the crazy world of adventure racing. 

Alyssa shares what she’s been up to lately, plus her favorite recent race performance (can you say: Lydia Russell at Happy Valley 70.3?!)

She then gives a behind-the-scenes look at multi-day adventure races — from logistics and training, to eating and sleep deprivation. We had all the questions and she had all the answers on:

• How teamwork, roles, and communication differ from solo sports
• Her best and worst experiences on multi-day expeditions
• How she trains for sports like trekking, paddle boarding, and mountain biking
• Tips on staying strong (and sane) during long, grueling races
• Her experiences in the adventure racing community and reflections on past achievements 
• A sneak peek at what’s next — including her big goal: the Spine Race in the UK

This episode is packed with Alyssa's passion for pushing limits and we can't wait to see where it takes her.
