More About Coach Katherine
I am a Level 2 USA Triathlon, Ironman U Certified , and UESCA Certified Coach who has coached runners, triathletes, and cyclists for over 15 years, working with hundreds of athletes. I am also an ACE Certified Personal Trainer and enjoy incorporating strength into training programs. I am an experienced athlete myself completing six ironman triathlons, the Boston Marathon, and represented Team USA at the Triathlon World Championships. I incorporate formal knowledge from various sources (ex.USA Triathlon, Friel, Noakes, evidence-based studies) as well as my previous coaching experiences.
I am experienced coaching athletes of all ages from beginner to advanced levels. I customize each athlete's workout based upon his/her ability and personal goals. We focus on proper techniques, endurance and stamina, nutritional needs, and mental toughness. As a result of individualizing for each athlete's strengths and weaknesses, athletes improve performance tremendously. I love a great challenge and the opportunity to work with new faces year round.

Client Reviews
Alex (CoachUp client)
Amazing coach, has helped me improve my form, running efficiency and endurance. I hired Katherine to help improve my 1.5 mile run time as it is what I am being tested on in my career. After working with her my run time was improved by 4 minutes in just 3 sessions with her. She is truly an experienced coach, she is one that I will continue to hire and work with as I continue to push myself and improve my race times. I highly recommend for anyone looking to do a short race similar to mine or even for those who are looking to do an ultimate test of endurance race such as an Ironman as she has experience with those races as well.

We love Coach Katherine. She came to our first meeting fully prepared, doing an evaluation on my daughter, and having a game plan on where we need to focus her training for her to improve. I highly recommend her.

Coach Katherine really listened to my daughter’s goals and challenges and gave her great advice on how to improve her times and strength- all in the first session. We’ll definitely be booking another one.

Great coach, very personally experienced and but also good at teaching a beginner like me. Right balance of encouragement and constructive feedback, helped make adjustments on the fly and quickly picked up on deficiencies in my technique. Highly recommend her.

Coach Katherine is a great coach. I've finished my first session with her and have already learned so much. I was ready to step up my running and she's going to be very helpful in doing that. She is a good listener and flexible to my needs. My favorite part was going for a run with her and having her help me with my form. Highly recommend her and will definitely work with her again.

Coach K is professional and personal. From the beginning she is in your corner to target a plan to get you where you need to be realistically! She gets to know you so she can help you train for your best race ever! Highly recommend in the Orlando, FL area!!!!
Phil (CoachUp client)
My session with Katherine was incredibly productive. In just one session, she was able to help streamline my running cadence and gait. She was also able to help me put togher an offseason training program to improve my half marathon time. I'd highly recommend her to any runner looking to improve form and race time.
Bradley (CoachUp client)
Katherine has been WONDERFUL to work with, and extremely helpful in tailoring a program to specifically address what I need. In our first session, she was able to pinpoint a needed change in my stride that is not only improving my efficiency, but addressing a cause of injury. She if very goal-oriented, and brings a high level of positive energy to the sessions. She helps set realistic goals, stretch goals, and works with your unique needs to put together a plan to achieve those goals.
Ed (CoachUp client)
Excellent x 5 stars! Well-organized plans. Specific tips provided while we are working out together. Keeps me motivated. Focuses and long-term as well as providing detailed weekly plans. And she even talks and keeps me entertained while we are running - even though I am usually too winded to say much back :)
John (CoachUp client)
Coach Kat was amazing. I could only do one session at this time due to an injury but, to just talk with her and have that knowledge of the best way for me to heal and slowly rebuild into the runner I want to be is priceless. The best thing I have done so far was to select her as my coach and I am looking forward to future sessions so I can give her 110%.
