More About Coach Kathryn

I started running as an adult, and I'm now a certified coach through RRCA and I am currently coaching several adult runners on distances of 5k through half marathon!

I have run all over the country, and made friends all over the world because of my involvement in the running community. I have run more than 40 races at the 5k distance, 8 half marathons, 4 Ragnar Relays, several mud runs, and a full marathon.

I will start with a dynamic warm up of squats, lunges, high knees and butt kickers. Each session's main workout will be tailored to meet the specific needs of the runner and their goals. This could mean working on speed, increasing fitness, or focusing on a race-specific goal. The session will end with feedback received from the athlete in case any modifications need to be made, as well as instructions as to what exercises the athlete should do outside of coaching sessions.

Client Reviews

she is so nice!

I recently started training with Coach Kathryn & so far, really good. She motivates me to challenge myself in each session and gives me lots of encouragement along the way. Looking forward to working with her the achieve my running goals & get back in shape.

Day 1 ... within the first 5 minutes Coach Kathryn spent time getting to know me and understanding how I learn. I asked about my posture, my stride, my foot placement, my breathing and I can’t recall what all else, and she gave me simple and easy to understand instructions. Neither one of us were overwhelmed and it was such a rewarding experience.

She devised a running plan and it’s something I would have never been able to do for myself and I’m already able to see improvements.

I love her consistency and ability to tie my issues with a situation I’m in, because of that I’ve been able to recognize when I’m falling apart and I can put myself back together.

She’s amazing when it come to questions and answers, nothing has been beyond her and she tailors the answers into a way that I can understand.

As a beginner of 8 years who hit a plateau on my own I feel confident I’m getting out of the beginner zone and into an intermediate zone and I’m very grateful having been matched with Coach Kathryn.

Coach KK is just what I needed to restart my exercise routine. She customizes workouts to whatever intensity you are ready for and is very flexible if you need to reschedule or take a pause from training. The run-walk method she promotes is a great introduction to running for beginners and for preventing burnout for advanced runners. She has lots of helpful advice about all things related to the sport and ensures proper warmups/stretches. With her cheerful, friendly coaching style the session time flies by and running doesn’t seem like a chore but a fun way to work out. Highly recommend Coach KK!

Kind, smart, and willing to work to your comfort level!

On our first meeting I I told Coach Kathryn that I can't even run a mile but I want to train for a marathon. She was definitely up for the challenge. She was very encouraging, on our first day we ran 2.5 miles and I didn't even realize how the time went by. It is a lot of fun to train with her and she is super patient with a beginner like me. She knows what she is doing and I love her professional yet fun attitude.

Coach Kathryn is great! I’m a slow runner and have leg issues. She worked with me on stretching and pace. I’m training for the MCM and i’ll definitely be working with her more.

Kathryn is just the coach I need- she asked up front about my goal(s) and then talked along the way by providing hints to reach them in a cohesive way! Good attitude and plenty of positivity. Thank you Kathryn

Coach Kathryn is a professional, flexible coach who made me feel inspired and comfortable in our first session. She listened to my personal goals for running and past history and helped me set a concrete, achievable goal to work towards. She also was prepared with workouts to cover both long distance running and sprints. I’m looking forward to continuing to train with her.

Training with Kathryn was great! As someone who is new to training/running, it was really helpful for her to be there guiding me. She had lots of tips and tricks to improve my technique and was able to answer all my questions!
