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

It gave me a taste of what’s possible. A mindset shift I would never look back on and one that would continue to flow to every area of my life, beyond just running, in the most remarkable ways. That was 14 years ago.

I’m not an elite athlete but my book has been endorsed by the elite. I’m an ordinary everyday runner and I like to challenge myself and grow through the process. I’ve run 5 marathons, completed the toughest one-day sporting event in the world - an IRONMAN event, and I’m a Solo Mum to an amazing little human.

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.

I am passionate about helping others achieve their Bucket List Dream to one day run a Marathon, because I know how much more of life exists beyond it 🙏

And it would be my privilege to help you make that dream happen

Let me help you to believe you can do it, feel supported and encouraged to do it, motivated to try, and guide you on what to do to get there!

A world of possibility awaits and it’s time to get after it! If you have any questions - get in touch here

Questions & Answers

Does it include a training program?

It absolutely can. You might already have a program and that’s fine. If you don’t we’ll develop one, and we can tweak it along the way at our regular check-ins

Does it include a running club / group training sessions?

No, it doesn’t. Our sessions will be virtual - over zoom / phone / email, but there are some brilliant running clubs I can recommend and introduce you to

What if I get injured and have to pull out?

We’ll be working hard to make sure that doesn’t happen, but if it does, and the goal posts change due to injury, or for any other reason, that’s fine, we can hit pause & re-commence anytime

My running goal is a different distance to a marathon (eg: 21 km, 10 km etc) can you help me?

Absolutely. You can have my support for any ‘marathon of a goal’ distance. Or if you’re just looking for a one-off coaching session you can book that here. And it doesn’t have to be Melbourne Marathon - I can help with any race event

Do I have to do the online course - The Academy?

No you don’t but the Marathon Membership strategically includes it ;) You’ll have membership for it to use anytime you like. The modules and themes in it will be really helpful and relevant to do in parallel to your training. And they’ll help you gain even more from your Marathon Journey, so I highly encourage it. You can just skim through all the videos for a light touch version, or you can deep dive and spend time getting the most out of it

Can I just join as a ‘Marathon Member’ and not sign up for the weekly support?

Yes absolutely. That will get you access to The Academy (at a very good deal!) and access to the resources that sit behind the Members Area, as well as our Onboarding Session. But it won’t give you the Weekly Sessions, or the pre and post race sessions - you’ll need to purchase that support separately. And the good news is, if you’re looking to do a couple of races, you pay the joining fee once, and just switch the Weekly Support on and off as you need

What qualifications do you have?

Recreational Running Level 1 Coaching Qualification

5 x Marathoner, 10 x 1/2 Marathoner, 1 x IRONMAN, 2 x 70.3 IRONMAN, Reiki Level 1 & 2, Kinesiology Level 1, and I’m a Solo Mum to an amazing little boy :)

And if there’s an area I can’t help with, I’ll be reaching out to the vast and wonderful network of experts I’ve connected with on my journey

What’s the investment?

Marathon Members Joining Fee: $250

You’ll pay an initial joining fee to access the Marathon Package Members Area

This includes: Onboarding Session + Program ($200), Lifetime access to The Academy ($350), and helpful resources and content

Support in the lead up to your race: $80 / week

Once you’ve joined, you’ll be able to purchase the weekly coaching support

This includes: Weekly Check-ins ($80), support in between, Pre-Race Prep Session ($150), Post-Race Debrief ($150)

The Value?

I can attest to achieving a Marathon is Priceless!

But there is a LOT of value bundled in here… not to mention the return on investment for your race entry fee by making it to the start line :)

LET’S DO THIS!

MARATHON PACKAGE 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”

Your book has changed my complete mindset, my goals and my outlook on life. I feel energised and excited for the future. You are a true inspiration. Thank you”

“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.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — Belinda Morris (Founder, Essence Radiance)

“Looking for some inspiration and courage? Follow Alexandra’s journey from injury to injury as she tests the limits of her body and mind. Her story, filled with hope and resilience, is engaging and relatable. It will inspire action and change, develop your courage and evoke a sense of wonder for your miraculous body.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — Kate Duncan (Editor of WellBeing Magazine)

“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.”
