Caffeinated Chaos and Marathon Training with Alicia DeCastro from Fundati Coffee
This week, Lauren sits down with Alicia DeCastro (founder of Fundati Coffee and Fundati Run Club, and Distance Coach at La Salle Academy) to talk about running, coaching, community, and the caffeine-fueled chaos that comes with marathon training.
From her first race back in 6th grade to crossing the New York City Marathon finish line, Alicia shares the evolution of her running journey, what she’s learned through coaching others, and how building Fundati has become about so much more than just coffee.
Together, Lauren and Alicia dive into the intersection of sport, self-discovery, and community and how each new chapter of training and coaching offers a fresh lesson in growth, humility, and gratitude.
In This Episode, We Cover:
The story behind Fundati Coffee + Run Club and her role as Distance Coach at La Salle Academy.
Alicia’s running journey
How guiding others reveals what coaches can still learn as athletes themselves.
How the running community nurtures consistency for all levels of runners.
Embracing the process, even when it’s imperfect and why curiosity keeps you progressing.
The Caffeinated Chaos: A behind-the-scenes look at Alicia’s final week leading up to NYC.
