About the Coach

Coach portrait — Alex Barysevich
Alex Barysevich

USATF-certified coach and former national-level athlete.

Before turning to coaching, I built my career as a competitive track and field athlete, reaching national championship level and representing my country in elite competition. This high-performance background gives me first-hand understanding of what it takes to progress from consistent training to peak results.

Coaching philosophy: I believe training should fit your life — not the other way around.

You don’t need perfect conditions to run well. You’ve got a job, family, deadlines — maybe even a beer on Fridays. That’s real life, and good coaching means working with it, not against it.

My goal is to help you adapt, not obsess. We build around what you have: your time, energy, stress, and goals. Progress comes from smart consistency, not punishment or guilt.

Whether you’re squeezing runs between meetings or chasing a marathon PR, we’ll find a rhythm that works — steady, flexible, and real.

  • Road racing focus: 5K → Marathon
  • Data-informed, not data-obsessed

What Athletes Say

“Structured, simple, and it works. PR’d my half by 3 minutes without feeling wrecked.”— D., half-marathoner
“Weekly tweaks kept me consistent. I finally stopped overdoing workouts.”— J., busy parent & 10K runner
“Drills + relaxed mechanics changed my stride. Running feels smoother.”— M., marathoner

What the legends might say (if they trained with 512 Project)

“If I had Alex’s plans, maybe I’d finally break 2 hours in the marathon.” — E. Kipchoge, probably
“Relaxed mechanics before speed? That’s basically how I run a 3:43 mile.” — J. Ingebrigtsen, maybe
“Consistency beats hype. Alex knows that — which is why I’d trust him with my base training.” — Some marathon GOAT, for sure
