Meet Coach Kat
Running has been a huge part of Katherine Hewitson’s (Coach Kat’s) life from a young age. From competing at county and national level to becoming a UK Athletics Level 3 Endurance Coach, she brings years of experience, knowledge and a genuine love of running to every athlete she coaches.
Kat works with runners at all stages – from those working towards their first 5K to experienced runners chasing a marathon PB – but her approach is always personal. She takes the time to understand your goals, your lifestyle and what makes you tick before building a training programme around you.
With Kat as your online running coach, you’re never simply handed a plan and left to get on with it. She’s there throughout your training with regular support, feedback and encouragement, adapting your programme as you progress and when life inevitably gets in the way.
Most importantly, Kat genuinely cares about the people she coaches. Seeing runners grow in confidence, enjoy their training and achieve something they once thought was out of reach is what makes coaching so rewarding for her.
Because running should fit around your life, not the other way around.

Katie
Loved having kat as my coach. Engaging, understanding and totally committed to helping me to become a better runner as well as making sure I kept up my strength training. Checked in with me on a regular basis and gave constructive feedback.
Patricia Thomas
Kat has provided me with excellent coaching for over a year now. I initially wanted help with running technique, both to get quicker and to do so in a way which prevented injury. I opted for an online training plan as well as in person run training. I have been beyond impressed by Kat as a coach. I would have no hesitation recommending her to anyone wanting to improve their running and/or fitness.
