Kirrilly Katen- Trail & Ultra Coach

🏃‍♀️ My Running Journey

Running has been part of my life since my teens, but it truly became meaningful when I followed my mum into my first marathon. Since then, ultrarunning—especially on trails—has been a space for challenge, healing, and deep connection. More than a sport, it’s a lifestyle that’s shaped who I am.

🎓 My Background

With years of experience in education and leadership, I’ve always loved supporting people through personal growth. Coaching felt like the natural next step—an opportunity to give back to a sport that has given me so much.

💭 My Coaching Philosophy

I take a holistic, inclusive, and athlete-led approach to coaching. It’s not just about splits or mileage—it’s about listening to your body, honouring your life circumstances, and finding your rhythm. I especially love working with trail and ultra runners, as well as those stepping into the unknown for the first time.

🤝 Why I Coach

Coaching is about people. Watching someone achieve what they once thought impossible—whether it’s their first trail race or a breakthrough in confidence—reminds me of why I do this. For me, there’s nothing more fulfilling than being a part of that transformation.

🎯 Who I Work With

I specialise in:

  • Trail and ultramarathon athletes
  • New runners exploring longer distances
  • Athletes looking for a grounded, supportive, and mindful approach to training
