Alex Kleinerman

Working with Alex for almost a year taught me so much, and I still find myself learning something new from her every time. She was the one who taught me to believe in myself even when others didn’t, to trust the process of getting better each day, and to push myself in the right way. But most importantly, she taught me how to handle injuries, which was what I struggled with the most. During those hard days of recovery, she checked in with me every single day. Knowing you have that kind of support reassures you that things will get better, especially when it feels the hardest.

Last year, my husband and I decided to do something different to celebrate the holidays and give ourselves the gift of coaching with Alex. The end of the year is approaching and I couldn't be happier with this decision. Prior to working with Alex I diligently kicked myself out the door to run and did my best to train for races, but my running had stagnated, feeling like one more thing on an already long to do list. With Alex, my confidence has soared. I've been a runner for almost 20 years, and I feel like my energy and enthusiasm from 10 years ago has returned. Alex has helped me reach my performance goals while having a great time along the way!

One of the things I value most about working with Alex is how thoughtful she is about the bigger picture. She's great at helping me debrief races, figure out my key takeaways moving forward, and decide what goals I want to pursue next. She asks really good questions and helps me think through decisions rather than just handing me a training plan. Alex was instrumental in helping me get to the start line of my first marathon feeling prepared and confident, and she made sure I was paying attention to all the details that go into a successful race. She is such a pleasure to work with and it's really refreshing how invested she is in every single one of her athletes, regardless of their pace!
