Empowering runners to progress with confidence

Hi, I’m Alexandra!
I support real runners with real lives, helping you build confidence, consistency, and sustainable progress. My coaching is warm, clear, and grounded in understanding your body, your pace, and your goals, so you always feel supported, never pressured.
My approach makes running accessible, enjoyable, and sustainable. I love supporting runners as they explore what’s possible for them, whether you’re preparing for a race or simply looking to feel stronger and more confident in your running. I empower runners to reach their goals with a clear, enjoyable, and supportive approach. With qualifications from England Athletics, Event Group Endurance, I coach athletes of all levels - whether in track and field, road running, cross country, or those looking to improve their fitness, form, and technique.
As a Level 4 Strength and Conditioning Coach, I blend movement skills and endurance strategies to help runners build resilience and long-term strength. Wherever you are in your running journey, whether you’re taking your first steps, preparing for a parkrun, or exploring longer distances, I offer personalised coaching, support, and guidance to help you progress at a pace that feels right for you
I work remotely with athletes worldwide, helping them develop strength, technique, and confidence through tailored movement and endurance strategies. This approach supports both mental and physical resilience, no matter your starting point. Alongside my work in the local community and collaborations with running groups, I offer accessible, personalised coaching wherever you are. Running without limits begins with the right support and I’d love to help you take the next step.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I help an athlete progress when they feel stuck or can’t see the way forward themselves?
Because I see what they can’t see yet. I don’t just look at pace or mileage. I pay attention to how someone moves, how they think about their running, and what they believe about themselves. I spot the patterns, the hesitations, and the strengths that haven’t been tapped into yet.
From there, we shape a training approach that feels supportive and achievable, with clear cues, focused sessions, and gentle mindset shifts that help progress feel possible again.
I help athletes move from “I can’t” to “I didn’t know I could.
How do I help runners progress in ways a PT or fitness coach might not?
Because I coach the whole runner.
PTs and fitness coaches often focus on strength or general conditioning, which is valuable, but running asks for more. I look at movement patterns, endurance strategy, pacing habits, confidence, and how all of these interact with real life.
My approach blends technique, strength, mindset, and sustainable training structure. It’s designed to support the whole person, their body, their goals, and the way they think and feel about running.
I don’t just make runners stronger, I make them more capable, more confident, and more consistent.
How do I help runners progress when another coach hasn’t been able to?
Because I coach with empathy, precision, and purpose.
I’m an England Athletics endurance coach and a Level 4 Strength & Conditioning specialist, with years of experience supporting runners at every stage, from first‑time 5K finishers to ultra athletes chasing big goals.
I don’t rely on generic plans or metrics alone. I take time to understand each athlete’s movement patterns, mindset, and real‑life context, and I build a coaching relationship rooted in trust, adaptability, and honest communication.
Other coaches might train the runner. I coach the person who runs.
