Coach Alberto

I started running in 2008 at the age of 49 by joining group training classes with NYRR, just hoping to lose 45 pounds. Instead, it was love at first sight. I started racing a few months later and after 18 months of training qualified for the Boston Marathon for my first time. Since then, I’ve run over 100 races at any distance between the 5th Ave Mile and 50-mile ultras on trails. But what I’ve mainly learned to enjoy is the social aspect of running, the joined effort, the camaraderie, the NY running community.

This led me to coach the very same running workouts I ran as a beginner and, since 2014, I have trained hundreds of runners.
