There’s nothing more meaningful to me than seeing the athletes I coach grow in confidence, stay consistent, and achieve goals they once thought were out of reach.
Every runner I work with has a unique story, and it’s such a privilege to be a small part of their journey. Here’s what some of them have to say about their experience with Run Late with Kate coaching.
Athlete Testimonials:
I have been an athlete my whole life, and when I stepped away from that structured environment, I found myself in a really tough place. Without a routine or built in accountability, running started to feel discouraging and honestly pretty burnout inducing when I tried to do it all on my own.
That all changed when I found Coach Kate. She has been a complete game changer, not just for my running, but for my love of running.
Even though we have never met in person, she is one of the kindest and most genuine people I have ever worked with. She is incredibly dedicated to her athletes, and I have never once felt like a burden. She goes out of her way to make sure I feel seen, not just as a runner, but as a busy college student balancing a lot.
That means everything to me.
I have learned so much, I am seeing real progress, and I actually enjoy my training again. If you are looking for a running coach, do not hesitate. Working with Coach Kate will grow your confidence, your ability, and your love for running.

I started working with Katie in November because I wanted more direction in my training. The apps and generic plans I had been using just were not enough.
From the start, she created a plan completely tailored to me, my goals, my paces, and my busy schedule as a mom. Having someone in my corner to coach me and cheer me on throughout marathon training has made such a difference.
She consistently checks in, gives thoughtful feedback, and is always there to answer questions or adjust things as needed. I actually look forward to starting each new week of training, and I have never felt burnt out.
Having a plan built specifically for me has been a total game changer in my running journey. I am so excited to keep pushing and see what we can accomplish next.

Working with Katie has been absolutely amazing. As someone with a strength training background, I had no real experience with endurance running, and she guided me all the way through training for my first ultramarathon.
She is incredibly responsive and flexible, always helping me adjust my training based on how I was recovering. That level of support made such a difference.
She also helped me dial in my race nutrition, which played a huge role in how well my first race went. For doing something completely new, I truly could not have asked for a better experience.
I am so excited to see what we accomplish this next year. If you are on the fence about working with her, this is your sign to just do it.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Katie. When I started training for HYROX, running was easily my biggest weakness. I have always been more strength focused and was not a consistent runner at all.
My goal was to improve my speed quickly, and I expected a pretty standard program, but Katie completely exceeded my expectations.
She customized everything to fit my specific needs, factoring in my other workouts and setting pace goals that actually made sense for me. She checked in regularly, kept me accountable, and provided support that truly made the difference.
Because of her coaching, I not only hit my pace goal for the 1Ks, I also placed in my race. I never expected to see that kind of progress so quickly.
If you are looking for a coach who genuinely cares and knows how to get results, Katie is it.

Katie is the definition of your biggest cheerleader. I started working with her a few months ago, and I have never felt more encouraged or challenged in my running.
She is incredibly knowledgeable and combines science backed training with her own experience as a runner. Her workouts are effective, but also fun, which makes a huge difference.
She really listens to feedback, responds quickly, and is always available when you need her. You truly feel like you are being coached by someone who cares and is rooting for you every single day.
I recommend her to all of my friends because her knowledge, energy, and passion are unmatched. I am so excited to keep working with her.

I had attempted to train for a full marathon several times but struggled to reach my goal. About 10 to 11 weeks before my race, I reached out to Katie, and I am so grateful she took me on as a client.
She helped me fine tune everything from my easy runs and pace work to cadence, and completely changed how I approached training.
Working with Katie gave me a new passion for running that I did not even know was possible. She pushed me when I needed it, adjusted my training when things came up, and supported me through injuries so I could still make it to the start line.
Because of her, I was able to successfully complete my first full marathon.
She is incredibly passionate about her athletes and truly takes pride in their success. I feel so lucky to have her in my corner as I continue working toward my goals.

Katie Greenwood has been my running coach for the past 7 months, and I can confidently say her guidance has transformed my running performance. I have been a recreational runner for over 40 years, and the progress I have made with her has been incredible.
From the very beginning, Katie took the time to truly understand my goals, fitness level, and personal schedule. Her training plans are thoughtful, highly personalized, and rooted in a deep understanding of both running physiology and mental preparation.
Whether it was improving my form, safely increasing mileage, or building confidence for race day, Katie provided consistent support, clear communication, and expert feedback. She also introduced me to resources that helped me develop skills I had not mastered in decades.
What sets Katie apart is her ability to balance motivation with realism. She celebrates the small wins and helps me recognize the steady progress I am making, while also keeping me grounded when things do not go perfectly. She has a unique ability to turn setbacks into opportunities for growth.
Thanks to her coaching, I achieved a 25 year personal best in my 5K and rediscovered a love for running that goes far beyond finish lines.
Beyond performance, the impact on my overall health has been just as meaningful. After a recent 6 month medical checkup, over 20 lab markers showed improvement. Her gradual, intentional training approach has also helped keep my HRV in a balanced range, something I credit to her focus on heart rate zone training and sustainable pacing.
I wholeheartedly recommend Katie to anyone looking to become a stronger, smarter, and more confident runner, whether you are training for your first 5K or your next marathon.
