“I started over a year ago with Alysha. What I thought I was going to get was a training plan on a calendar. What I got was a coach that cared and made adjustments to plan to match my current fitness level and a community of support from all across the country. Because of the support and the training plan I ran my first marathon a few months ago. An accomplishment I never thought myself capable of achieving. Joining this great team was the best decision ever made!”

“Alysha has created the most supportive and welcoming team of women runners. Her program carried me through my first half marathon and has given me the confidence to sign up for my first marathon! From base building to race strategy, Alysha will carry you through to the finish line.”
“As an ex-athlete, training is always hard because my mind wants to do things my body just isn’t able to do, almost always leading to injury. In my first two months, Coach Alysha’s firm but gentle guidance has reminded me why I loved running in the first place. I now listen to my body, and it’s helping me achieve goals I wouldn’t have thought possible!
This running team has meant so much to me. You all and your strength have been the light I needed. The day you read from your book of confidence about picking myself I was literally picking myself up from a bad moment so thank you for that.”

“I found Alysha eight months ago, after deciding I wanted to run a full marathon, but knew I would need careful guidance to do so safely & successfully. Alysha’s plan carried me across that 26.2 mile finish line in October. Not too shabby for a fragile, post-menopausal 50-something with a lengthy injury history. Now I am training for marathons 2 & 3, feeling empowered not just from the What Runs You plan, but from the sincerity of Alysha’s care for each & every runner she trains. You can feel her passion for running. You feel her cheering you on. She has built a community of women from across the country, of all ages & life stages, who lift up one another. Who cheer each other on whether it’s their first mile or their first marathon. Who cares deeply about the well-being of everyone on the team.
We celebrate every run, every milestone big or small – & if anyone falters, we will lift you up & carry you. You don’t get that from just any old running program.”
