Hide AdKatherine was selected to represent the UK Police Team back in May, and along with coach Colin Gemson, the pair spent time planning key training races as well as a dedicated training programme that would help her achieve a number of goals.
Colin and his training advice brought her 5k race time to 18:33, her 10k time to 38:50 and her 10 mile time to 63:00.
Katherine and Colin also focussed on improving her endurance, resulting in weekly 23 mile runs.
Katherine decided to return to VVV Health Club and train with personal trainer a well, which helped her to achieve a number of personal bests. Her training paid off at the Dublin Marathon as Katherine finally achieved her goal of joining the ‘sub 3 club’, in what was her 16th marathon.
