Kate has earned a GB vest 19 times across indoor, outdoor, cross country and, most recently, mountain running. She has also podiumed on some of the biggest trail and ultra races around the world. With the knowledge she has gained, this has assisted her in coaching many athletes to accomplish their goals from 20km trail races all the way up to 6 day long ultramarathons.
Kate also has 14 European medals and 2 World team medals, a 4th place finish in the 10,000m at the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games and is currently the only British woman to have ever won the NCAA cross-country title.
Having left the track and cross-country behind, Kate is now reaching the same heights on the trails. 2022 saw her earn a top 10 finish at the European Mountain & Trail Running Championships in Spain and a top 20 finish at the World Mountain & Trail Running Championships in Thailand.
These experiences have taught Kate the value of a strong coach-athlete relationship - one that is built upon communication and a shared drive towards the goals of the individual. Her background gives her a wealth of knowledge on training processes and the ability to adapt plans to suit goals across multiple distances, terrains and for varying fitness levels and backgrounds, which she has done successfully for numerous athletes across a wide range of distances.
