About

Welcome to Move At Will!

Are you ready? I know I am.

My name is Alex Reid and I am the creator of Move At Will. I am a runner, lifter, writer, and personal trainer living in Bellefonte. A beautiful Victorian town located right in the heart of Central Pennsylvania along the Appalachian Mountains.

I have devoted the better part of my life to running, health, and fitness. After spending many years as a freelance journalist I decided to branch off and start my blog and website in February 2019.

Life is too short to live someone else’s dream so I am spending the rest of my time helping others achieve their dreams. Through my own experience, knowledge, and passion my goal is to help others find a consistent healthy lifestyle that they can enjoy for the rest of their lives.

If you have a passion or interest in running, health, and fitness you’ve come to the right place. On this blog you will find training plans, training tips, mental health information, nutrition information, healthy recipes, and more. I will also post articles regularly on here and on social media about my own adventures so stay tuned, buckle up, and enjoy the ride.

Now .. lets take a look at the numbers and the rest of my story.

I have been running consistently for more than 21 years. In that time I have run over 30,000 miles and most of those miles have been on mountainous hilly terrain. As a competitive runner I have competed in more than 200 races. In my earlier years I did most of my races in track and cross country but over the last decade and a half I have been doing most of my racing on the roads.

Along with running I am also passionate about fitness particularly strength training. I have been doing a multitude of strength training exercises particularly over the last decade (Mostly free weights and bodyweight exercises) and I believe that it has made me a better athlete and runner.

On the other side of the coin as I mentioned earlier I am a writer and personal trainer. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree (BA) in Communications (Journalism) from Lock Haven University (LHU). Along with my Bachelor’s Degree I also obtained additional credits from The Pennsylvania State University and Saint Francis University. I have advanced training in Avid (digital video editing), Adobe InDesign, and Adobe Photoshop. Along with my native language (English) I also speak fluent Spanish and have basic speaking skills in German.

I hope you enjoy my articles and feel free to contact me if you have any questions, comments, requests, or ideas. Thank you!
