PERSONALIZED 1:1 COACHING
Each training program is designed specifically to meet you where you are and help you to get where you would like to go. Running is not one size fits all and everyone has different life circumstances. Flexibility and balance are key in creating customized training for each individual athlete. I am here to motivate and empower you and keep you accountable in daily training all the way through to your goal race(s).
SPECIALTIES
I work with runners who are training for their first 5k to athletes running multiple marathons a year. I love helping athletes get consistent with running and strive to help develop mental and physical strength, endurance, speed, and running economy. You tell me your goals and I will meet you where you are and help you reach them.
CERTIFICATION + EXPERIENCE
UESCA Running Coach Certification
I’ve worked with athletes returning to running postpartum and have experienced starting at square one after having two babies myself. I also really enjoy working with runners who seek to go after new distances, running further and faster than before. I love working with athletes who have big goals and seek to balance a full life while going after their dreams.
PHILOSOPHY
My coaching style is very communication oriented and I believe that every athlete is an individual who deserves customized training specifically focused on their life circumstances and goals. I provide daily communication, motivation and encouragement, support with selecting races, and race prep including gear and nutrition. I believe that running should bring you joy and I will be there to encourage you even when things get challenging.
What folks are saying about Katie
My coaching experience with Katie has been more than I could have ever expected. My first week into running again, I suffered an injury that sidelined me for a month. Katie was still there for me the whole time and we texted almost daily as she provided support and encouragement on some very dark days. Once I was able to run again, she worked with me to make sure I was good to go for my first 5k since high school cross country. Katie is not only a perfect coach, but also a great mentor and someone who encourages me and is there for me whenever I need an extra push. She is not someone who just writes you a running program and that’s it, she truly cares about you as a person. I would strongly recommend her to anyone.

Katie is the bombdigity! As I try to run 5 marathons in one calendar year, Katie is keeping me grounded and focused. She listens to me when I provide feedback and knows when I need to dial it down a notch. I’ve had many coaches in the past and some have tried to force me to use RPE, which I really don’t enjoy using. Katie listened to me and has geared my workouts to hard numbers and I really respect that from a coach. I can’t wait to see where we go for my next race!

Katie is amazing! I highly recommend her for everyone, but especially busy moms!
As a busy mom, getting back into running has been challenging. Katie’s support, encouragement, and guidance kept me going! I am so thankful to know her and to have her coaching me!
