About Kathleen

I’ve been running for over 13 years and running ultras for over 8 years. I found running late in college as a hobby. One year, after running a marathon, a friend encouraged me to try an upcoming 50k. That’s when my love for ultras started and led to me running 200-mile races. Having someone to empower and coach me made an enormous difference in my life. I want to help you realize your potential and goals. I would love to coach someone getting into trail and ultra running or who wants to progress to a new distance.

Coaching Philosophy

Empower and guide: Regardless of whether you want to run a 50k or 200 miler, they are both incredible races (Or journeys) and I want to be there to help guide you to your goal in a way this is most sustainable for you (keeping you healthy and happy).

Flexibility and understanding: I believe life isn’t only about running. Running to me is a facilitator to many things- adventure, community, fun. However, I know it’s not the only thing- we have family, friends, work, hobbies and sometimes personal challenges that are inevitable. I want to guide you to reach your goals in a way that honors the things that matter to you in life.

Hard Work & Communication: I also know that to reach a goal, there is hard work that must be done. Training takes time and effort. I want to have an open and honest relationship with you about your training and goals. I want us to work closely together and
