Shownotes
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.
