Testimonials

I've been running recreationally since 2018 and raced here and there, but had trouble knowing how to adjust my training every time life got in the way. I knew I wanted to take my running to the next level, but I needed help. That’s when I found Go Run Stronger. Coach Alex is so understanding when it comes to my busy schedule. She knows how to schedule tough workouts to push me forward, but adjusts my weeks when my body calls for some rest. I also joined the GRS strength training app and can fit in three strength sessions per week that I know are targeting the right muscles. With all this help I PR’ed in my recent half marathon by 11 minutes! Thanks Coach Alex and GRS! Can’t wait to see what the future hold!

Coaching with Alex has been the best investment in myself in 2023! I have been running for a few years, but was hitting a plateau on my own, and knew I would need some guidance to achieve my speed goals.

Alex has been an incredible coach to work with - not only did her plan provide me the push that I needed to grow, but she was so supportive every step of the way! I really love how personalized my training is, and how extremely responsive Alex was to helping me make adjustments to my training or answering any questions or comments.

With Alex’s help, I have grown so much as a runner in only a few months, and was able to get a new PB in my 5k. I have really enjoyed working with GRS and cannot wait to continue into the new year!

I started running at the beginning of 2023 with the long term goal of racing a sub-3:30 marathon (Boston Qualifying time). After running a half marathon in July I decided I needed a run coach and started working with Alex. A few weeks after I started working with her, I noticed I was starting to feel like a much stronger runner. I ended up running a 3:28 at CIM and knocked 20 min off my previous marathon time! Thank you Coach Alex!

I had been an avid runner for a number of years. Then work seemed to get in the way and I found myself getting very out of shape and sitting in a desk chair all day. I felt that I needed to work on my overall strength to get back into running. I  considered hiring a personal trainer but that was going to be too expensive.

So I started to look for training programs online. The problem I found was that they were not flexible and they did not have the variety I was looking for. Most importantly there was nobody to talk to to get advice and make adjustments.

I was thrilled to find Gaby. The variety and type of exercises was exactly what I was looking for. I have been working with Gaby for multiple lift cycles and couldn’t be happier with the programming. Gaby is responsive to questions and making adjustments based on my input. I was impressed enough to encourage my wife to use Gaby to train for a marathon.

I’ve been running for a few years now, but after battling frequent injuries and feeling like I was plateauing in my performances, I decided it was time to take my training to my next level. Coach Alex helped me get through my marathon training cycle completely healthy and I was able to set a PB in my goal race marathon and 10k along the way.

I love how individualized my training is and how supportive Alex, Gaby, and everyone at Go Run Stronger are. I can’t wait to keep working with GRS and I am so excited to continue progressing my running.

Whether you’re an amateur or seasoned runner, getting back into running is daunting.

I suffered from over-training throughout college which led to a bad IT band injury. I stopped running for over a year and stuck to other sports that didn’t involve as much running.

When I had the idea to start again and potentially do a marathon, coming across Gaby’s Instagram was a blessing! Given Gaby’s similar college athletic background and her impressive DPT credentials I knew we would work great together!

She set me up for success from the start. The expectations and plans were clear and easy to follow. Her run and strength training was detailed and customized.

She altered the plan when needed, prioritized my recovery, and I finished training strong! I seriously couldn’t have ran my first marathon successfully and with a sub-3:30 time without Gaby!

I’ve been following Gaby on Instagram for a while and I’ve loved her approach to running/strength training so I was so excited when GoRunStringer started! I originally came to the team after dealing with a past knee injury that still caused some issues here and there. Since working with Alex and Pete, I’ve become stronger, had minimal to no knee pain, and achieved a PR at the Richmond half. The whole team is invested in you and your goals. Alex and Pete have been amazing mentors/trainers and I have learned a lot from them.

Deciding to work with Coach Gaby was one of the greatest decisions I made for my running journey. I’d been running inconsistently for a couple of years now but never actually took it seriously until I signed up for my first half marathon. From our first call I knew that Gaby truly cared about every detail of my journey and the progress that I was looking to make.

I constantly felt cared for and like my training was specifically tailored to my fitness level and goal of running my first half! I faced a knee injury scare and was nervous it would throw off my training and hard work but Gaby assured me that with the proper plan I’d be just fine. I felt confident and empowered through my entire time to go run stronger and I’m forever grateful I started my consistent journey here. Her expertise and guidance is what helped me PR, build my mileage, and absolutely crush my first half marathon. Forever grateful for Gaby and her guidance!

Gaby Go of Go Run Stronger is an exceptional run coach who truly understands the art of personalized run coaching. Under her guidance, I embarked on the journey to the London Marathon 2024, and what an incredible experience it was! Gaby's attentiveness and expertise not only prepared me physically but also mentally. Her tailored approach, coupled with unwavering support, propelled me to achieve a PR!

Training for the London Marathon under Gaby's guidance was not just about crossing the finish line—it was about embracing the joy of the journey. Thank you, Gaby, for your amazing job and for helping me go stronger!

Working with Gaby has been the best investment and choice I could have made. After struggling with chronic shin splints and not being able to run pain free for two years, I was at my wits end and came to Gaby desperate.

Right away, Gaby listened and provided me with options and a plan to get me back to running and playing my favorite sport, pain free. She has always provided so much support, knowledge and encouragement. I have learned so much from my time working with her. You can really tell how much she cares about her work and also her clients.

Both her strength and return to run programming have helped me immensely. I can say this is the strongest I’ve truly felt in a long time (ever maybe?). After two and a half long years, I have finally been able to begin my return to run pain free. And I definitely would not be in this position if it wasn’t for Gaby, her programs and her support.

Gaby has been such an integral part of my journey. I am SO grateful for her and am blessed to have her on my team. If you are looking for someone who is knowledgeable, caring, understanding, blunt (in a gentle way) and supportive - Gaby is your girl.

Working with Gaby Go has been a game-changer for my running. From day one, I could tell that her knowledge and expertise would take my training to the next level. With a deep understanding of running mechanics, race strategies, and injury prevention, Gaby provided me with tailored guidance that’s made all the difference in my performance.
Gaby's ability to create structured, well-rounded training plans that challenge me while considering my individual needs has been invaluable. What really stands out is how Gaby has helped me optimize my training in a way that works for my body and goals. She has given me the tools to improve my form, avoid injuries, and push myself strategically—without burning out.

I can confidently say that Gaby has been instrumental in reshaping my running strategy, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her knowledge, support, and commitment to my current & continued success. If you’re looking for a coach who will truly elevate your running performance, I highly recommend Gaby at Go Run Stronger.

After many running injuries over the past 1.5 years, I felt frustrated, hopeless, and ready to give up on running altogether. Meeting Gabby and Pete at GoRunStronger changed everything. They were supportive and encouraging, assuring me that with a conservative and thorough approach, they could help me get back to running safely. Throughout the program, they’ve been amazing—consistently checking in, providing feedback, and tailoring my plan as needed. Since starting the strength program, I’ve had almost no pain from my hip labral tear, which had been my biggest concern about returning to running. I am so grateful to have found GoRunStronger. They’ve made running feel possible again, without the fear of needing surgery.

GRS has been awesome! I have been running since high school but during college, I developed bilateral Haglund’s deformities/insertional Achilles tendinitis. This made regular training a challenge and ultimately sidelined me from competition. After graduating, I switched to triathlon for a few years to remain active but even with the lower-impact activities mixed in, regular running became a challenge so I ultimately opted for surgery.

After recovery, I was hesitant to go back to running full-time as I didn’t want my Achilles issues to return so I started training for triathlons again but my heart was still with running. My physical therapist suggested I try GRS and it has been such a great experience! Having a coach to slowly increase mileage/intensity has made me feel confident in my body’s ability to run again. The runner-specific strength training has been a game changer too. I feel better on my runs than I have in years and am doing things like plyometric strength work that I didn’t think I would be capable of after my long-term injury. I’m so grateful for the GRS team and am excited to continue on this journey!

Iftach is one of my favorite people to coach because he is consistent, dedicated and hard working. His natural running talent combined with his work ethic is not something you come by often and I love watching him crush workouts and progress with training. In Chicago, he ran 3:09 which was a 23 minute PR from his last marathon just 6 months earlier. It has been amazing to see him take so much time off his marathon and continue to chase big goals. Sub 3 coming soon!
