About
Me
My name is Alysha Whitney. I Began my running journey in 2012 and have run many half marathons, full marathons and challenges. Most of my running career has been runDisney races; I most recently completed the Dopey challenge (48.6 miles over four days) for the second time in 2023 and the Walt Disney world marathon in 2024 for my seventh full marathon!
I have mentored runners since 2016 through two facebook groups I created and have helped many achieve success in their first races. In July 2022, I became a RRCA certified run coach and In April 2023, I also became certified through UESCA. I am very excited to formally coach individuals!
What you can expect from my program is a coach that will help and support you through the ups and downs of training. I will be motivational, but also realistic and firm at times, to help you get to your goals! After you fill out the consultation questionnaire, I will set up a virtual call to get some more information about you and your goals. Finally, I will determine if I feel I would be the best suited coach for you before creating a personalized plan. Since these plans can change, they are usually sent out in smaller weekly segments to help work around life events. I hope you choose to fill out the consultation questionnaire and work with me on your journey towards your running goals.

Testimonials
Alysha and her run coaching may just be the best investment I have ever made for myself. The care, research, detail, and consideration she puts into the training plans she makes are amazing. My life is never dull, and I have a lot of different things that affected my training, but she made sure to take all of those things into consideration without allowing me to give up on myself or my progress. She always had my weekly and monthly plans out with plenty of time to arrange my schedule. Alysha never complained about my random texts at all times of the day and always had the answers I was looking for. Having built in monthly Facetime calls also allowed me to get to know Alysha better and connect the dots on why I was doing what when during my training. I may not have any more running challenges planned at this time but as soon as I do, I know who I'll be calling! I would whole heartedly recommend Alysha to anyone for anything they want to achieve.

Several years ago I remember being part of this motivational facebook group, and you posted that you had completed your first full marathon. In your post, you said something like “Now I am a marathoner.” Those words inspired me to complete my first marathon in 2020, because I wanted to say “I am a marathoner,” too! Five little words moved me to complete it! Thanks for the motivation!

It was my lucky day when I connected with Alysha through her RDMT Facebook page! We soon met at the 2018 RunDisney Marathon Weekend. Following the marathon, Alysha encouraged me to sign up for Dopey 2019. What a journey that was! I relied on Alysha’s encouragement, advice and support while I worked through the training miles, as well as at the races. I credit her for getting me to all four finish lines successfully! Alysha continues to be my motivational running friend.

I am working with a coach right now to find out what I want in my career. One of the assignments was to write down people who inspire me and Alysha is one of those people! Her kindness is inspirational. She has so much patience with everyone, we see the same questions multiple times a year in the facebook groups, and she will answer them thoroughly and as many times as needed. No question is silly or weird. I've met Alysha only twice in real life, but she is a kind and warm hearted person. I admire her determination, running is the easiest example for me to articulate that, all those training miles she has done to get to her goals is so amazing to see! I love seeing her stories on instagram where she tackled great distances. I have so much respect for her virtual marathons! That takes a lot of willpower to do a marathon virtually. I am so happy you're a host on the Rise and Run podcast, I always enjoy listening.
