Welcome to AJL Coaching! I’m Alli LaRochelle, based in Annapolis, Maryland, where I live with my husband, two teenage sons, and our three giant dogs. With 15+ years of experience in triathlon racing and coaching since 2018, I bring a wealth of knowledge and passion to every athlete I work with.

My coaching has guided athletes from sprint distances to IRONMAN World Championship qualifications, marathons, endurance swims, HYROX, and everything in between.

Coaching Philosophy:

My coaching philosophy is rooted in balancing consistent training and good, old-fashioned hard work with a fulfilling life beyond sport. Each day is about showing up, giving your best effort, and then prioritizing the things that matter most—family, work, and personal pursuits. Training should enhance your life, not overwhelm it.

My coaching style is shaped by the mentors who influenced me early in my career—coaches who believed in sticking to the basics, putting in the work, and creating fun, challenging workouts that keep you excited to train and race. Their philosophy taught me that nothing trumps hard work and you don’t need to overcomplicate the process to achieve big results.

I’m also a firm believer that too many athletes (and coaches) today have become slaves to their data. While equipment and metrics absolutely have their place, they should support your training—not control it. Learning to race and train by feel, and to truly tune into your body, builds confidence and creates a more rewarding and intuitive experience.

Consistency, patience, and persistence are at the heart of improvement. Every athlete is unique; some thrive on higher volume, while others excel with lower volume and more rest. My goal is to understand what drives each athlete and build a personalized approach that empowers them to reach their goals.

What People Are Saying

“…Alli helped me accomplish all of my goals this past year to successfully compete in three 70.3 Ironmans. It is very important to me to have a coach who is tough but encouraging, purposeful yet flexible with my busy schedule with the five kids and all of their sports. Alli is the perfect balance of all of these qualities.…”

“..it goes without saying I highly recommend Coach Alli to anyone looking to improve their performance competing in any endeavor or polish your attitude on life.

If you spent the remainder of your days searching you will never find another Coach Alli, an individual more vested in the betterment of others does not come around often. Alli is a comet, she burns bright all the time and you only see one in your lifetime!

“…Alli has gotten me uber fit, with 2 AG wins this season, and qualified and went to 70.3 Worlds.  Most importantly, the workouts and guidance have been alot of fun and motivating.  Could not have done it without her,  and I am probably more challenging to coach because of my time constraints, crazy schedule,  plus slow and aging body.  I can't safe enough positive things about Alli.  ”
