Marathon Coach Bio:

 

I’m Alexandra André and achieving a Marathon was a life-changer for me

Which is what drives my passion to help ordinary, everyday runners achieve that same goal

It gave me a taste of what’s possible. A mindset shift I would never look back on. I’ve now run 5 marathons and completed the toughest one-day sporting event in the world - an IRONMAN event.

I’ve also experienced countless setbacks and injuries along the way… that have helped me find another way, a more holistic way, and given me the depth of real experience I have to offer today.

So much more of life exists beyond a Marathon, and it would be a privilege to help you achieve one

Marathon Coaching Graduates

 

David Short ran Melbourne Marathon 2022 - his 1st Marathon, and here’s what he had to say:

“It’s official. I’m a Marathoner!! 42.2 km is a long way. A special thanks to my coach & mentor Alexandra Andre. It’s been a great journey. It all started about a year ago when I started running during Covid-19’s lockdown. I’ve never been much of a runner but the gyms were closed and I needed a new way to exercise. I started off small with 3km, 5km then working up to 10km runs. I decided to train for a half marathon. Six months later I entered my first 1/2 marathon. I had no idea what I was doing but I managed to finish the race and it felt amazing.

Now I was enjoying running I started reading books and magazines to learn more about the sport. That’s when I came across ‘The Power of Possibility’ by Alexandra Andre. Wow! Such an amazing book. It changed my outlook on life and inspired me to dream of bigger things. Maybe I could run a full marathon? Soon after completing this life changing book I contacted Alex and signed up for her first time marathon running package.

It’s exactly what I needed, step by step training program. Weekly updates and feedback on my training. Alex is amazing. Her knowledge of the sport and ongoing support and encouragement made my dream of completing a marathon possible.

Closer to race day Alex really helped me with my race nutrition, hydration and supplements. Alex provided information on stretching, active recovery and race day tactics.

I would highly recommend Alex and her training program for anyone out there thinking of completing their first marathon or major sporting event. Alex will make anything possible”

And some months later:

“So many great things have happened in my life since reading your book. It’s a gift that keeps giving. Thanks again”

“Words can’t even describe the impact Alex has had on myself and my business! From mentoring and giving me the push that I needed to trust myself, to knowing my business and what key steps to take - her enthusiasm is so inspiring! She has a proven in depth knowledge of not only marketing and branding, but the gift of inspiring the inner potential to believe that anything is possible! I couldn’t recommend her highly enough to anyone, no matter what stage in business or life.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — Hayley Worley (The Sheet Society)

“It has been both a privilege and pleasure to work closely with Alex over the last 2 years. During this time I have seen Alex commit to and achieve many amazing goals with courage, tenacity, enthusiasm and composure. It has been a joy to watch Alex meet challenges with an openness and a genuine willingness to learn and grow from every experience, ensuring that she is continually striving to be the best she can be. Alex leaves no stone unturned in ensuring that her utmost potential is reached. What is perhaps most admirable however, is the inspiration she brings to those around her. It is almost impossible not to feel motivated and energised simply by being around her and sharing in her passionate and whole-hearted approach to life.”

“It’s far more about life than it is about sport,’ says Alexandra. She knows. She’s done it, gone the distance, and proved that mere mortals can accomplish the unimaginable.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — Kathrine Switzer (Revolutionary woman runner, author of Marathon Woman, founder of 261 Fearless)

“If you’ve ever said “I Can’t”... Alexandra’s book proves you “Can”!
If you have ever doubted yourself, your ability, your potential…. This is a read for you. From running 1.5km down a dusty farm track to the red carpet lined finishing chute of an Ironman, Alexandra shares an emotional insight of setbacks and successes and is a remarkable reminder that your journey can be whatever you want it to be if you put your mind to it.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — Mandy

“Alex’s authentic and genuine story of setting an aspirational goal and striving for it against ongoing setbacks is truly uplifting and is written with honesty and warmth. For all aspiring Ironman competitors out there, her book is a relatable and encouraging must-read memoir.”
