Most Runners Train Hard. Few Train Smart.

You don’t need more random miles. You don’t need to “just push through.” You don’t need another generic training plan.

You need:
• A structured progression
• Strategic strength training
• Proper fueling
• Smart recovery
• A coach who sees the whole picture

That’s where Catalyst Fitness comes in.

Real Runners. Real Results.

  • "Christina makes it so much easier to balance workouts with real life. She keeps you honest while also being encouraging, and backs everything up with real knowledge so you know you're on the right track towards your goals."

    —A.R

  • “I never thought I’d be someone who could run 3 miles without stopping, let alone under 30 minutes. When I started with Christina, I was truly starting from zero. Four months later I crushed my 5K time trial in 29:19 and felt STRONG the entire time. She made it feel doable from day one. Every week built on the last and I never felt overwhelmed. She believed in me before I believed in myself.”

    — J.C

  • "Training for my first half marathon felt overwhelming with my work schedule, but Christina made it realistic. We mapped out my runs around long workdays and travel, and somehow I still felt prepared every single week. I toed the start line confident instead of anxious and finished in 2:14. It was the most controlled I’ve ever felt in a race."

    —S.F

  • “After my first marathon (5:11), I knew I had more in me but I didn’t know how to get there. Christina completely changed the game. We added real strength training, purposeful speed sessions, and marathon pace work that actually made sense. Race day felt different. I felt powerful instead of just surviving. I crossed in 4:35 with a 45 minute PR. I’ve never felt more proud of what my body can do.”

    —C.R

  • “I had run a few marathons over the years, but I was stuck. Christina helped me train with intention instead of just logging miles. We built my VO2 max, lifted heavier than I ever thought I would, dialed in fueling, and structured long runs with real purpose. By the time race day came, my half marathon pace had become my marathon pace. I finished injury free with a 13 minute PR. I honestly felt like a different athlete.”
