COACHING BIO

Alyssa coaches with Biscay Coaching, led by Ironman Champion and Ultraman World Champion, Hillary Biscay.

Alyssa started coaching in 2013. She works with triathletes, runners and swim-runners of all abilities. She also loves coaching endurance athletes looking to pursue other types of athletic endeavors such as adventure races, thru-hikes and FKTs. Alyssa has been competing as a professional triathlete since 2014.

What is your FKT? Alyssa will help you work on achieving your most ambitious goals.

“Ever since the finish line of my first 50 mile race in 2005, I’ve known that endurance sports would be an important part of my life. Being able to share the lessons they have taught me about dreaming big and investing in the process — and myself — to achieve those goals, has been so valuable.

Helping athletes realize that through accountability, hard work and consistency, goals they never thought possible are within reach is so rewarding.  And helping them find a way to fit their goals into everyday life.…these are the most rewarding aspects of coaching, what gets me out of bed in the morning, and is the inspiration I carry into my own adventures!”

-Coach Alyssa

Athlete Testimonials

  • I’ve worked with Alyssa for 9 years. It’s hard for me to even describe how much she transformed me as an athlete. Among other things, she got me to the finish line of my first half Ironman, Ironman, 50k, 50 mile, and 100k, and helped me get back into shape after having a baby. Alyssa is very responsive and solutions oriented when something pops up that requires an adjustment to my training plan whether that be a sick child, unexpected work obligation, pool closure, etc. I truly can’t imagine ever working with anyone else. Alyssa has helped me achieve success in sport I never thought possible and I recommend her to everyone who mentions they are looking for a coach.

  • Prior to meeting Alyssa, I was feeling a little burned out and unmotivated after racing triathlon for 10 years, I had heard great things about Alyssa and I was intrigued by her varied background in ultra-running and triathlon. Within our first year of working together I found a new motivation for the sport and at age 41 I was grabbing top finishes and overall wins in 70.3 and Ironman distance events. Part of the new-found motivation came from being able to add other adventures into the mix (whereas past coaches were not onboard with that idea). In the last 4 years Alyssa has been able to coach me for every idea I throw at her, whether it be my first 100 mile running race, gravel bikeracing, multi-day racing, or even being part of her crew in one of her many successful FKTs. Alyssa has coached me to be a well-rounded athlete who can successfully tackle new sports and fun adventures!

  • Working with Alyssa has changed my life for the better in so many ways – from giving me tangible goals to work towards day in and day out, keeping me accountable on my good and bad days, and giving me the competitive outlet that I emotionally need. Having a support system and coach there every single day, listening to me, and adjusting my workouts has been game-changing. Having a coach has also helped me to see that even when life or work throws me some massive curveballs, it is still possible to work towards and achieve my lofty goals. Since I started working with Alyssa my PR’s have been great (went from a 2:09 half marathon to running a 1:41 DURING a marathon). I have no doubt that I would not be the athlete I am today without this coaching team, and I am beyond grateful to get to be a part of it every day.
