MEET YOUR COACHES:

FULL MARATHON COACH: STEVE WARRINGTON (EMAIL)

What I love about Fleet Feet is seeing people change their lives in a positive and healthy way, and how our customers become our friends. Being able to contribute to that, in even the smallest of ways, brings me great joy, especially when I see those who I coach reach goals they thought were way beyond them.

I started running Cross Country as a freshman at Northwest Christian High School in 1977. The running culture was much different at that time and not the movement that it is now. In the years since, I have changed how I approached endurance sports but have always come back to running. I have been a marathoner, a road cyclist, mountain biker, Ironman, and am currently enjoying the world of ultra-trail running. Running has changed throughout the years but one thing that remains consistent is how it allows us to look into ourselves and to learn from that introspection.

I am a certified RRCA (Road Runners Club of America) distance coach since 2016. I coach personal clients on form, general fitness, and specific race goals, and I have coached for the Medical Lake School district for seven years, including four years in the middle school cross country program where we brought home the first ever men’s All League trophy, as well as three years as a High School varsity women’s cross country and track coach. I've had the opportunity to take several athletes to the Washington State meet to compete. I mentored the Fleet Feet running groups for three years before taking a job here, and am now the PNW Training Groups Manager.

Steve also works as our Training Groups Manager and works in the Kendall Yards shop. 

HALF MARATHON COACH: KATI JOHN (EMAIL)

Meet Kati John, your Half Marathon Distance group coach. Kati has been working with Fleet Feet for about a year and a half, 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 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!
