In this episode, Dirk Friel talks with <a href="https://www.trainingpeaks.com/coach/trolltraining#about">Alex Martin</a>, a former professional motocross and supercross racer who spent over 15 years competing at the highest level, earning podiums and top-five finishes. After retiring from racing as a pro, Alex leaned into his passion for training and performance, co-founding <a href="https://www.trolltraining.com/">Troll Training</a>. His coaching company blends motocross performance with endurance sports methodologies.
Alex shares his journey from motocross to recently catching the “running bug” and how structured training, especially via TrainingPeaks, helped him transform his racing career and life after retirement. He just raced the 2025 Boston Marathon, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DI4pzMhznYI/?img_index=1">finishing at 2:48:35</a>, just shy of a PR, with plans to run several other big races in the coming months.
From building marathon fitness as a busy dad and coach to balancing strength, endurance, and recovery in high-risk motorsports, Alex shares an insider’s look at taking advantage of experience and science to advance the art of coaching unique athletes.
