BUILT TO LAST
Where Rehab Ends. Real Training Begins.
Rebuild the strength and durability your body needs to lift, run, hike, and train again—without constant injury flare-ups or second-guessing every move.
If your body feels like the limiting factor in your life
You're in the right place.

Maybe it looks like:

  • Pain that keeps flaring up no matter how “careful” you’re being

  • Fear around lifting, impact, or pushing yourself again

  • Leaking, pressure, or instability that makes you second-guess movement

  • Constant exhaustion and nervous system overload

  • A body that used to be reliable — and now feels unpredictable

And you’re definitely tired of hearing:

“It’s just aging.”

“Rest it.”

“Be more careful.”

“You should stop doing that.”

But you don’t want to stop.
You want your body to work.
This isn't an "aging" problem.
It's a capacity problem.

Your body didn’t fail you.

It just stopped being trained to tolerate:

  • load

  • stress

  • impact

  • and real life

Most approaches miss this entirely.

They either keep you stuck in “rehab” mode or tell you to shrink your life to match your body.

BUILT TO LAST does the opposite.
We rebuild your capacity — so you can do more, not less.

Why BUILT TO LAST Works

When Physical therapy, Yoga, Mobility, and Rest Didn’t

This works when nothing else did because:

  • We rebuild strength—not just flexibility
  • We target the root problem—not just the symptoms
  • We progress load instead of avoiding it
  • We train transfer to real life
  • We respect biology, not hustle or fear

This is why results finally stick.

Meet Your Coach

Hi, I’m Alison.

At 30, I was told to give up running.

At 45, I’ve racked up 20 marathons, 9 ultras, and a pain-free body.

You wouldn’t know it looking at me now, but for years I felt way older than the date on my driver’s license.

My 20s and 30s? A string of back-to-back injuries:
⚠ Chronic IT band pain
⚠ Runner’s knee
⚠ Shin splints
⚠ Sciatica
⚠ Stress fractures

Then, shortly after my 30th birthday, I ended up in the orthopedist’s office with a hip fracturetalk about feeling “old.”

My body felt like a gradually-rusting cage that kept me from living life on my own terms.

That could’ve easily been the end of my story.
But instead it became the beginning.

Because when no one could explain why I kept getting injured—or how to stop—I built the system I couldn’t find anywhere else.

One that trained me for real-life resilience, not just race day.

It carried me through my 30s and 40s:

✅ Across finish lines

✅ On competitions floors

✅ Onto the podium

✅ Through a midlife career change

✅ Building a business from scratch

✅ And into daily life—without pain, without restrictions

Over the past 15+ years, I’ve helped hundreds of runners, lifters, and hikers go from feeling fragile to feeling powerful. I’ve helped everyday people comeback from devastating injuries to cross finish Iines they didn’t know they had in them.

In 2019, that system became my book: The Durable Runner.

And now, I’ve created The Durable Athlete to help women like you age athletically, without pain and injuries, so you can move confidently in your body again.
 
If you’ve ever found yourself scared to move the way you used to—The Durable Athlete was built for you.
 
You don’t need a new body.
You need a smarter training blueprint.
 
Let’s rebuild it—together.
The 90-Day Commitment Guarantee

We know what it’s like to be burned by a program that overpromised and underdelivered.

That’s why we guarantee this: If you complete and track 80% of the workouts we prescribe and don’t feel stronger, more mobile, and more capable in your movement—we’ll refund every penny.

We back this guarantee because our system isn’t theory or AI-generated fluff—it’s 15+ years of real coaching, real data, and real results.

If you do the work and don’t get relief, you shouldn’t pay.

No risk. Just results.

 

Speaking of results

Take a look at these receipts

"Running again after injury and surgery."

After reading Alison’s book, I knew she could help me. I’m running again after injury and surgery. I’m stronger than I’ve ever been and this is the longest I’ve stuck with an organized plan ever.

I have no concerns that whatever I ask next – whether some new injury or pain or new goal – Alison will have an answer and plan to help. It is so worth it and it works. —Laura

"Easy-to-use pain relief work."

I started working with Alison as I was finishing another round of physical therapy for chronic sciatic nerve pain. I’ve stayed for 5 years because her programs are easy to use and she is so flexible and responsive to my needs as they arise.

Alison is extremely skilled and it’s made a huge difference for me when other things failed to give me relief. I recommend Alison all the time to people who are in pain. —Beth

"Stronger at 60 after hip replacements + fusion."

Alison has changed my life. I am a former runner of 30 years, with osteoarthritis that worsened in my early 50’s. I have had 2 total hip replacements and a spinal fusion. 

I have never felt stronger, even simply in the activities in my daily life. I start my day with Alison’s routine in the app and I feel better all day long. It’s such a relief to finally be free of chronic pain. —Laurie

"Back to backpacking pain-free."

I was having a reoccurrence of sciatica that was not going away. I was tired of feeling disabled. I just wanted to be able to live my life and not be in pain. Alison provided compassionate, direct, and clear support.

Now I’m back to backpacking the Appalachian Trail and commuting by bike to and from work regularly—no back pain! —Helen

"PT failed. This worked."

Alison helped me navigate chronic hip pain and get back to enjoying going out for a run again. She got me where physical therapy could not: running while feeling strong and resilient.

I highly recommend her to anyone struggling and feeling like their body is letting them down. Working with Alison not only got me running again, but also got me back to feeling capable in my own body. Thank you, Alison! —Lauren

"My arthritic knee pain is gone."

I was dealing with crippling knee pain for years. But all the doctors would say is that it’s arthritis and I had to lose weight to get relief. The problem was, I was in too much pain to exercise. Alison’s program got me out of pain quickly when no one else would help me … and now I’m down 60lbs! After years of planning my life around my knee pain, it’s not an issue for me anymore. —Leslie

"This program saved me."

I’d been working for two years to fix my back issues and Alison’s program saved me. I love what Alison does so much! —Suzanne

You didn’t build this life to sit out, scale back, or be sidelined.

You don’t need a new body. You need a smarter training blueprint.
