Coach Alex has lived in Charlotte for over 10 years and has been running for over twenty. He joined Fleet Feet due to a passion for shoes and running, and loves to speak about these passions with anyone who will listen! His favorite thing about running is that it can be a private, insular thing and something to be shared as part of a community, all at the same time. His favorite distance is 10K, but he enjoys the unique challenges of different distances.

Alex Swanston

Hometown: Juneau, Alaska

Favorite Distance: 10K

Favorite Race: Around the Crown 10K

Dream Race: London Marathon

Favorite Thing about Running: “I love that I can be competitive with myself, rather than comparing myself to others, and as I age, those benchmarks can change. I think that allows running communities to be inclusive, supportive, and celebratory, rather than elitist and competitive.”
