I’ve known Alex for a long time. He and I have done a lot of bicycle riding together over the years but I’ve never been the runner type – in fact, I was always terrible at it. About a year ago I decided to start training for a 1/2 marathon and was constantly suffering, not being able to improve at any significant level. I remembered that Alex had been a short-distance runner and national champion in Venezuela (our country of origin). I decided to ask him for help. He put together a training plan specifically for me and I can tell you that the results were amazing. I started noticing major improvements in my capacity to increase distance and, most importantly, the ability to actually enjoy running. If your intent is to improve your running ability and find the joy in running, I highly recommend Alex as a coach – It did wonders for me…
