The Proof

"Patellar tendonitis nearly did me in. As a longtime runner, I wasn’t ready to give up the sport. Thank heaven for Coach Abigail...Her tailored approach to strength work got me back on the trails, feeling strong and pain-free. Abigail knows her stuff, plain and simple. I trust her implicitly."

"I started working with Abigail at the beginning of a marathon training cycle that included multiple 70+ mile weeks. She kept me strong and injury-free throughout...Abigail is an amazing combination of expertise and care that I trust to get me to the starting lines healthy."

"I've been a competitive runner/triathlete since I was in my 20's and have dealt with injuries on and off that prevented me from competing at times...and the transformation I've gone through has been better than I ever imagined.  Staying injury-free and racing better than I have in the last 7+ years."

"I can’t say enough great things about Alchemical Training. After three years of chronic hamstring and calf issues which kept me from my training programs ... I have been injury free (knock on wood) since I started her program.  I wish I would have started sooner."
