About Katherine

I am a Lorax by trade. This means that my job is very much immersed in the forest and dedicated reforestation. Coaching for me is purely passion project. I want people to experience the joy of running and experience the ways it can transform life.

Coaching Philosophy

I believe that every new runner has the potential to become an ultrarunner with the right guidance and support. My coaching approach focuses on:
-Personalized Training Plans: Tailored to your unique goals, fitness level, and lifestyle.
-Foundation Building: Establishing a strong base for running to prevent injuries and ensure long-term success.
-Mental Toughness Training: Techniques to overcome the mental hurdles of ultrarunning.
-Nutrition Guidance: Fueling your body for peak performance and recovery.
-Encouragement and Motivation: Providing the support and motivation needed to keep you inspired and confident.

While I may be new to the coaching industry, I am already making strides in helping new runners:
Transition from new runners to aspiring ultrarunners.
Overcome initial challenges and build a strong foundation.
Achieve personal milestones in their ultrarunning journeys.
