Alicia was over the moon to receive a special interview and photo shoot to review her competitions and record breaking history so far. She is featured in a 4 page healthy living section in both the online magazines above and in print AND she is a featured article on a website.

Alicia took a fabulous hiking/training/comedy trip to Bryce Canyon for a week. She enjoyed a lot of laughs and she had fun making some new comedy shows with her creative dad! She did some great, challenging run training at 7,700 – 8,300 feet and found it really paid off when she came back to sea level. First, STOP and cackle with her Bryce Canyon/Las Vegas comedy.

Alicia returned to Florida to set a slew of aerobic strength world records, place 85th in her 16th World Championship, do her first ever 10k and 1 hour SKiErg event (where she is currently ranked 3 and 1 woman in world this season so far), and set a handful of personal best cross country running times and lowering 4 of her lifetime cross country bests (see below). She believes the high altitude training (even though it was just 1 week) had a positive impact on her recent results. FIRST, we will show you the records she broke upon her return from trip.

WR # 26 – 106 one legged – 2 armed leaping mountain climbers in one minute 7/6/23
WR # 27 – 75 V-Mountain Climbers in One minute on 7/13/23

Last but not least, listed below are Alicia’s personal bests in cross country running. Highlighted in RED are her new personal bests. Alicia is not a fan of the Super Shoe Era and she believes soft surface running is the best both for health, leg/foot strength, and longevity in running. She only promotes soft surface running in her running programs. Alicia has been wearing the New Balance 940v4 for years (trains and competes in this 11oz shoe). It is known to prevent plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis.

2 Races and 2 World Records in 10 Days for Strongwoman Alicia Weber

April 12 -22, 2012 — Strongwoman Alicia Weber is back again to raise her benchmarks in 2 short duration events AND MORE! On April 12, 2012, Alicia Weber took back her world record in 1 minute of situps. She now raised the benchmark to 59 situps in one minute for her 101st world record! Alicia exclaimed, “I am into longer duration situps, but if I know I can beat a record that I see, I will go for it!” Alicia did just that when she beat the previous record of 58 a minute set by England’s Guy King.

Next, Alicia has been dueling French Plyometic Exercise Star Guillaume Bourgeois (since, Feb 2012) in several plyometric exercises, but one stands out in the exciting duel between these two determined record breakers – Most Consecutive Clapping Pushups with Feet off the Ground. They each had gone back and forth with this highly aerobic strength testing exercise. Guillaume held the world record for 49 days at the mark of 61. Then, on April 17, 2012, Alicia re-claimed the record with a new mark of 65. Alicia exclaimed, “I got sick on Monday and had to rest. My muscles were anxious for an all out effort on Tuesday and the result – another record! I am very happy!”

On Wedsnesday, Alicia had planned to kick off her cross country season despite still being sick. Alicia exclaimed, “It was set in my mind and I had been looking forward to this day. I recalled when I ran with bronchitis and set a youth record in a 10k in 37:34 in 1995, which was 6th largest road race in US and I knew I could pull this off. I had trouble breathing from congestion and a sore/dry throat, but this was nothing compared to when I ran with bronchitis. I was planning on a casual effort in any case and just get a feel for the new course.” Alicia set the overall record in 2011 for the NTC 2.8 mile course. In 2012, the race is on a new course measuring 2.5 miles and is known as the NTC Ultimate Series for Cross Country. Alicia was happy with her showing in the elite field of current and former pro triathletes. She finished 6th overall out of men and women and was the 2nd woman finisher.

Finally ending her sickness on April 22, Alicia competed in her first ever WPA Series Stand Up Paddle Board event. Alicia exclaimed, “I was so excited to get out there with top competition and just get this experience under my belt. I asked for a challenge and I got it – the 3 mile race started in torrential downpour. Then it passed, but we had to fight wicked cross winds and currents. The winds were gusting upto 19 mph! My adrenaline was pumping and I had to dig deep on my hefty 10 ‘6″ stockboard.” Alicia completed the 3 mile course at Spa Beach in St. Petersburg, FL, in 56:48 for a 30th overall finish out of men and women, which includes both stockboard and racerboard categories combined.
