Testimonials
"I have been working with Kate for over three years now and she has helped me not only athletically, but in also in my everyday lifestyle. She is always extremely dedicated, caring and generous with her time and leaves no stone unturned."
Virginia (Commonwealth Games Marathon, World Championships X Country)
“Thanks so much for all of your expert advice. I’m really thrilled to have a new PB at the ripe old age of nearly 49 (gulp!) - I honestly didn’t think I’d be able to improve at this point in my running journey and I’d kind of made my peace with that so it was a lovely little surprise! “
(Female runner aged 49 yrs)
