How Katie works
Katie builds each plan from the ground up based on how the athlete responds. She uses quantitative tools such as custom RPE charts and velocity profiles.

She also uses an athlete's subjective feel to manage fatigue. The goal is long-term autonomy, so athletes learn to make their own training choices.
