Coach: Katherine Gavin
Katherine has been a member of the ultra-trail-running community for almost 25 years, but only recently as a participant. She supported many friends and family as a long-time cheerleader, volunteer, and crew. With a lofty goal to complete a 50K for her 50th birthday, she joined the CCR Timonium Ultra Trail training group for the 2021 HAT Run 50K.
The training group not only provided the plan, support and confidence to complete that 50K, but the camaraderie, friendship and inspiration to embark on a shared challenge. Since then, all with CCR training groups, Katherine has completed over a dozen ultra marathons, including her first 100-mile trail race.
Katherine views coaching as a way to help new trail runners discover the joys of nature and “conversational pace”, offer a fun and rewarding season to veteran ultra-runners, and support anyone wishing to achieve (otherwise impossible) goals with the right plan, approach and attitude.

Description
At Charm City Run our goal is to safely train runners towards reaching their goals of finishing your first ultra, achieving PR and everything in between. The power of the group atmosphere makes the journey fun and enjoyable while encouragement from your coaches makes the long runs much easier.
Each group will meet twice a week for runs for approximately 16 weeks depending on the target race for the group. Trainees will learn about hydration, trail running, easy runs, recovery runs, hydration, nutrition, injury prevention and much more along the way. Weekday runs will consist of hills and track workouts. Weekend morning runs will be trail runs at local parks, unless weather forces us to stay on the roads.
The groups will be targeting Rocky Gap 25K, 50K, Relay Trail Run , Rick’s Run on Sunday, October 12th or the Patapsco Valley 50K on Saturday, October 25th, or any other race within that time frame.
Frederick 50K Training is virtual however runners will have the opportunity to run with other Charm City Frederick training groups. Virtual Meetups will be Mondays at 7pm.
Requirements
To safely meet your goal of the 50K, we do ask that you have completed at least one marathon distance and have a strong base level of trail running under your belt. Trail running experience is a must. Additionally, runners should be running at least 4 days a week leading into this training. Are you not sure if you meet these requirements?
