I have a very keen interest in human physiology and with my background in Physiotherapy and sport science, I am keen to invest in the technical side of adaptation to ensure my training is maximised. Edge is a key component of my training plan as the tests provided will enable me to see the tangible improvements from this one aspect of my heavy endurance training programme.

Kat started triathlon in 2015 and after two years in the GB age-group fields, she ventured into the middle distance world, winning the National MD Champs in 2018 and qualifying for her GB Pro race license in 2019. Her first pro season saw her podium in three IM 70.3 races, win the ETU MD Champs, come 16th at the WC IM70.3 and complete her first full Ironman in a debut time of 8hrs53.

Katrina has a very keen interest in human physiology. With her background in Physiotherapy and sport science, she is keen to invest highly in the technical side of adaptation to ensure her training is maximised.  In 2020, Katrina is trialing some altitude blocks for the first time.

Over the summer of 2020 Katrina was able to travel and train in the Italian Alps, prior to her planned race in November.

Katrina hopes to stimulate the altitude adaptations by using an altitude tent whilst sleeping.

Edge is a key component of this plan as the data the tests provide will enable Katrina to see the tangible improvements from this one aspect of her heavy endurance training programme.
