Go The Distance.

Training is easier (and more fun) with friends! With Fleet Feet’s Distance Training Program, you’ll find a holistic training plan to help you cross the finish line feeling empowered. Distance training isn’t just about logging miles. It’s about learning to challenge yourself incrementally, tackling different types of runs, building strength and making space for rest and recovery. With our training plan, you and your fellow runners will bond as you train, learn and improve together, with plenty of support along the way.

MEET YOUR COACHES:

KATI JOHN (EMAIL)

Kati has been working with Fleet Feet for about 4 years, but has roots in the earliest days of training with us. From the very first Winter Warriors group to coaching strength training for runners, she is excited to bring her valuable running experience to this group.

Kati first got into running after college when her mom decided to pick up the sport to get in shape. Never having liked running as a kid, the competitor in Kati was inspired to say, “I can do that too!” Shortly after, she caught the running bug. She started with half marathons, which led to seeking out other road and trail races of all distances, including a couple ultra trail races with her husband, Shane. This all gave her the confidence to shoot for a Boston qualifier, in which she was able to achieve and later compete there in her first full marathon.

When Kati first met some of our longtime staff through a trail group years ago, she realized after all of her solo training that running with a group is much easier, way more fun, and most importantly, gives a sense of camaraderie and community that you can't find elsewhere. Kati wants to help others accomplish their half marathon goals and create an environment where others feel supported. Kati believes that there is more to running than just running. She believes that while it is an individual sport, it doesn’t have to be done alone. 

Kati is a teacher and high school cross country coach and also works at our Kendall Yards shop!
