Starting Process

The process begins with a 20-minute phone call to discuss your history and goals. Next, I will design a completely customized training plan designed to fit your schedule that will progressively take you from where you are now to where you want to be.

In addition to providing specific tailored training programs and workouts, I also help you navigate the inevitable struggles that come up from time to time. I provide guidance on mindset matters so that as the capacity of your body increases, so does the capacity of your mind to deal with life’s challenges with grit and grace.

In-Person One-On-One Sessions

For those local to Montgomery County, Maryland, Alison has limited availability for in-person run coaching, training, and movement assessments for corrective exercise and injury management protocol. 

All of my customized coaching services and online training programs are delivered through a free app with demo videos for each prescribed movement, where applicable.

Running

Running-(2000)-1
I work with all ability and experience levels. Striving to go above and beyond your typical online run coaching by including
  • Specific supplemental strength training
  • Cross training
  • Recovery practices
There are two tiers of Run Coaching:
  • Running programming only
  • Running workouts programmed as well as runner-specific strength training workouts to keep you balanced, strong, and well-rounded.

This support helps you forge greater durability to minimize the risk that injury will slow you down or interfere with your training. I work with runners of all ages and abilities for race distances ranging from 5k to ultramarathons. Whether your goal is to get stronger, get faster, conquer a new distance, or avoid injury, I can help.

Depending on your experience and goals, your prescribed running workouts might include easy pace miles (I will help you figure out what your easy pace is), hill repeats to build strength and solid running form, tempo runs and/or intervals to increase your work capacity, and longer runs to progressively and gradually increase your endurance.

Corrective Exercise & Injury Management Programming
Running-(2000)-2

These programs are developed based on injury history and concerns with the goal of getting you back to the physical activities that you love.

We’ll find strategies tailored specifically for you to help you get back to your sport and back to your life. For people who are tired of struggling with injuries and want to be more durable.

Strength Training Coaching
Rope-(2000)

  • Bigger strings of push-ups from your toes
  • Your first unassisted pull-up
Whatever your fitness goal is, I will help you get there.

Programs and coaching that meet you where you are and build you up from there.

Testimonials

I really appreciate the structure Alison put around achieving my goals. Marathons and ultramarathons can be overwhelming, but she broke it down into manageable building blocks that complemented each other and led to tangible performance gains. The strength training program was instrumental to the running program — I'm convinced I would have injured myself along the way without it. Alison created a "super-structure" of guidance and teaching — everything from online videos to personal interactions — that I found incredibly helpful. Her coherent and integrated coaching system has made me a smarter athlete. I know where my limits are, but also now have the tools to develop a mindset and a body that can intelligently push past them. I'm incredibly grateful for all the work Alison does to help me and other athletes.

Alison changed my life. We met in July 2016 and since then I’ve attended her yoga classes twice a week. All the while I have been 100% confident that she deeply understands my physical condition, my potential and my restrictions, and guides me safely.   After neurosurgery last year, I became a fitness training client. The program is tailored for me, simple to do and is producing amazing results. I have never felt stronger, even simply in the activities in my daily life. I start my day with the routine that Alison delivers via an app because I practice in my home, or in hotels when I travel, and I feel better all day long.  I need a minimum of equipment, and it is easily packable. I had never seen the muscles that I now have. It’s a little bit badass! And it’s such a relief to be free of chronic pain. Above all, I consider Alison a good friend. I really wish I’d met Alison 30 years ago because I would have definitely been a better athlete, but I think it’s even more important that I met her now and learned to sustain fitness for the rest of my life.  Thank you, Alison!
