At Rise, we elevate trail and ultra runners of all genders through science-based, heart-led coaching.

Meet Your Coach
Hi, I’m Alexa Hasman — founder of Rise Ultra Coaching.
I believe endurance isn’t just built through miles; it’s built through purpose, resilience, and a science-driven plan designed around you. Trail and ultra running test both the body and the mind, which is why I bring not just experience from the trail, but also the academic and psychological foundation to help every athlete rise to their potential.
With a Master’s in Exercise Science and a Master’s in Sports Psychology, I combine the science of performance with the art of coaching. My approach integrates physiology, mindset, strength, and recovery to create individualized, sustainable progress for athletes of all genders and backgrounds.
Certifications include:
- NASM Corrective Exercise Specialist
- UESCA Ultrarunning Coach Certification
- UESCA Endurance Sports Nutrition Certification
- NASM Personal Trainer and Group Fitness
- NASM Youth Exercise Specialist
- NASM Women’s Fitness Specialist
- GGS Certified Menopause Coach
- and more…
I’ve also tested these principles myself—completing multiple 200+ mile ultramarathons and countless trail adventures that remind me why we do this: to grow, to connect, and to rise beyond limits.
At Rise, my mission is simple—to help you train smarter, think stronger, and feel supported every step (and summit) along the way.
Coaching Philosophy —

Testimonial
Sarah
“Alexa has literally changed my life. I went from a neighborhood jogger to being a competitive ultrarunner and absolutely loving it. I attribute this all to Alexa and her guidance and inspiration.”
Suzanne
“I’ve been training with Alexa for around two and a half years, and in that time, she coached me from my very first 50k mountain ultra all the way to tackling 100k races and a Mont Blanc staged run. In my late 50s, I’ve never felt stronger or more confident in my abilities, and I’m excited to keep improving with her guidance for years to come.”
Greg
“Alexa works within my style and my preferences so I actually like most of my training. She has me on a fun program that has me feeling strong, energetic and inspired to try new adventures.”
Melissa
“Alexa is such a motivating leader.
Her workouts are structured really well and she provides specific feedback that has helped me become a stronger runner. I have enjoyed the accountability and am stronger and faster for it. Alexa is very knowledgeable about fitness as well as sports psychology.

RISE Mental Performance
A structured mental training program for endurance athletes.
You’ve put in the miles. You know how to suffer. But there’s a difference between grinding through hard efforts and actually performing with clarity and confidence when it counts.
Mental skills are trainable. Most athletes never train them.
RISE Mental Performance is a four-week, one-on-one program built for endurance athletes at any phase: deep in a training block, preparing for a goal race, coming back from injury, or rebuilding after a hard season. You’ll leave with a practical framework you can use immediately and rely on long term.
What we work on:
Silencing the mean voice in your head that says you’re not enough. Rebuilding confidence when injury or a bad race has knocked it out. Managing the fear and identity loss that comes with return to sport. Learning to trust your body again. Staying focused and making good decisions when things get hard. Navigating setbacks without a full spiral.
What’s included:
A detailed intake questionnaire. A 60-minute consult to identify patterns, strengths, and key areas for growth. Three follow-up sessions building and applying specific skills. Individualized strategies for your current phase. Weekly homework to integrate skills into real training. A written mental performance framework delivered to you at the end.
This is for you if:
Your biggest limiters aren’t physical. You talk to yourself in ways you’d never talk to an athlete you care about. You’re returning from injury and struggling to feel safe in your body again. You want to compete with as much intention mentally as you do physically.
