Kelly Patterson is a Knighton Lion who spent the past six months training to become an ultra-marathoner. She came to Knighton Runs Coaching in Late 2020 as a new runner. She had just signed up for the Zion Ultra 100K on April 10, 2021 and wanted guidance to go from less than 10-mile long-runs to 62! Kelly had an excellent training block and successfully completed the Zion Ultra 100K, running with two friends for the entire duration of the race.

In this podcast, we dig into Kelly's journey going from being a New Runner to Ultra-Marathoner, which included completing her first Half and Full Marathon along the way!

Kelly is also a yoga and strength teacher and runs her own online studio, Kelly's Home Studio. Kelly's yoga journey began in 2005 as a freshman in college.  For the next nine years, she developed a love for yoga and group fitness, and my connection to the communities I found through the practice grew.  In 2014, she completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training at Baptiste Power Yoga Boston. In 2016, Kelly completed her yoga sculpt teacher certification at Corepower Yoga in Boston.  Kelly has been teaching in the Boston area, and more recently virtually, ever since. Kelly now lives in Denver, Colorado.
