Individual Coaching
Whether it's a race, peak, big route, recovering from injury or childbirth, or having the fitness to jump at whatever adventure comes your way, individualized, comprehensive coaching gives you confidence that you’re doing the best training for your specific needs, goals, and time constraints.
Peer Performance
Train wherever you are, with the company of others in a virtual training group, all working toward a common goal. Programs include training plans, weekly emails, community and coach support through a private Slack channel. Current programs are full. We will begin hosting in-person sessions soon.
Self-Supported

Growing up amid the wheat fields of eastern Oregon, Alison has always been drawn to open spaces. She spent college under the big skies of Montana where she mountain biked, rock climbed, backpacked, and eventually combined sports for big adventure-filled days before finding her true love in trail running. She ran her first trail race in 2000, first 50k in 2003, and has been hooked on long mountain days exploring wild places ever since. In 2007 she began coaching while working at the Seattle Running Company and completing her massage training at Brian Utting School of Massage. She’s worked with athletes ever since. She founded Cascade Endurance in 2010, joined the Uphill Athlete coaching team in 2018, and currently is back full time with Cascade Endurance.
Alison provides comprehensive training to athletes across the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Her coaching approach addresses each aspect of her athletes' training: strength and aerobic fitness, speed, injury prevention, running economy and form, event-specific planning, and mental preparation, all while balancing the other aspects of her athletes’ lives. Her professional background as a massage therapist gives her a deep understanding of the way we move and function, informing her athletes' individualized workouts. Alison also coaches a youth running club, and U8 Nordic ski kids as a member of USSA.
