Comprehensive Running and Strength Training Program

I've been working with Asher and can't say enough about how my life has changed, as a person and as a runner. I joined DPR after running a PR in the marathon in NYC and needing that extra push to work towards that BQ. This is important because my running goals at the time centered around "BQ or bust", which I can say puts a lot of pressure on yourself and is not healthy. While we gave the marathon a few more tries, what I found in the process was my renewed love for the trails. After two plus years as part of DPR, I have now focused solely on going longer in the ultra scene... Asher's coaching and guidance have given me the confidence to tackle my first 50m, 100k, and 100m - and next year we are focusing on trying to gain more insights and confidence around those distances. As a working father with a wife and three kids, life can get hectic at times. I do my best to follow her program - and mostly do - but she is very responsive when life events require an audible in the mileage or terrain.”

“I have LOVED working with you and have learned so much about the importance of strength to my running and overall health — thank you, thank you, thank you!”

“She has so much knowledge and PT experience and prioritizes health over literally any other metric. Messaged her yesterday about weird knee stuff and this morning woke up to exercises and an explanation of what was happening. I chose her to help me run but honestly I am learning so much from her training that goes way beyond running. THANK YOU ASHER.”

“Wanted to let you know I had an almost 10 min PR in the Brooklyn Half. Your training plan really gave me balance over this past year and taught me so much. And can feel myself getting so much stronger. Can’t thank you enough for the foundation.”

“I joined the DPR team when I was looking for guidance for my first 100k. Asher was highly recommended and now that I am part of the team I can see why. She knows her stuff when it comes to running, how the body responds to running and how to balance epic training with the demands of life outside of running. Asher works with you on every step of the running journey by providing feedback on every run and adapting the plan to fit your needs and your situation. This is the kind of experience you will never get from a downloaded training plan or if you tried to do it on your own. Oh yeah; Asher is an awesome person who is a source of never ending positive energy and that only adds to the fun of being part of this team!”

“Leslie helped me attain a PR at the NYC Marathon by not only establishing a training schedule and plan, but a mental one as well. She is very supportive and brings value in so many different parts of the run game. Leslie served as a sounding board during those rough training patches, provided encouragement when I needed it, yet stayed firm to her training principles, especially when it comes to following a plan and process. Motivation via running: this connection could not be more appropriate as she constantly reminds you that the tools needed to run your best race will help you lead your best life. Leslie practices what she preaches both the physical and mental aspects, and thus I see great things in her future. I highly recommend contacting her if you want to reach your running goals.”

“A dear friend and OG DPR team member graciously introduced me to Asher over a year ago. I was always hesitant to hire a coach. Only because I was fearful that a prescribed plan would take away some of the pure joy I have for running and training. Clearly my fears were irrational. Asher’s coaching is just the opposite! We thoroughly discussed my personal goals before we ever talked about an actual plan. Those goals had nothing to do with speed or weekly mileage or number of ultras I wanted to run, they centered around work-life balance, staying healthy, and making it to the start line of every race for which I signed up (training hard but staying healthy).”
