MI 01 // FOR YOU

Where are you in your running?

Three doors. Pick the one that sounds like you — the rest of the page will meet you there.

I'm just getting started

Nervous is normal. Estee's first session started with what she called “immediate regret,” panic, and terror — she's a KTP coach now. Andrea started here struggling with one mile; her second half marathon averaged 8:42/mile. You'll get a coach who meets you at your pace, whatever it is.

Show me how it works ↓

I'm chasing a PR

Self-coaching has a ceiling. A structured plan in Final Surge, feedback on every logged session, and coaches who race the distance you're chasing — a 2:54:45 and a 2:57:09 marathon on staff, plus a 2x Boston qualifier. Gaurav took 15 minutes off his half here.

I'm building a corporate program

Run training for teams — coached programs your people will actually show up for. Different door, different conversation.

MI 02 // WHY KTP

One coach's opinion vs. your whole coaching team

Hire one KTP coach, get all seven thinking about your training.

“One coach's opinion”

Most coaching is one person's read on your running. If they've never trained a first-timer through a marathon build, or never raced an ultra, you get their best guess.

“Your whole coaching team”

At KTP, your plan is one coach's responsibility and the whole roster's business. Plans get reviewed collaboratively, and specialists are on tap when your training needs one — ultra, triathlon, pre/postnatal, strength. You sign up with a coach; you train with a club.

Your training, on the record

Every athlete gets a personalized plan in Final Surge: structured workouts, logged sessions, coach feedback on every one. Data in, adjustments out, a human on the other end. And we're building the next generation of coach-athlete tools.

PLAN → LOG → FEEDBACK → ADJUST · EVERY SESSION

Training data from a logged run: pace and heart-rate charts with zone breakdown

Keep The Pace was started by three best friends — Bethany, Alex, and Kyle, 30+ combined years of coaching between them — who don't do this because they have to. They do it because they get to.

MI 08 // FAQ

The questions people don't ask out loud

What happens on the intro call?

Fifteen minutes, usually with Coach Bethany (Founder & Head Coach), by video or phone. You tell her your goal, your history, your schedule. No prep, no payment info, no pressure — you leave with an honest read on whether coaching fits. If we're not right for you, we'll say so. See what to expect ↑

How much does coaching cost?

We keep it simple: your exact fit and cost are walked through on the free intro call — no surprises, no upsell scripts. Tell Bethany your goal and schedule and she'll lay out the options that make sense for you. Book the free call ↑

I'm slow / brand new — is this really for me?

It's who we're best at. Andrea started here struggling with one mile; her second half marathon averaged 8:42/mile. Estee's first session started with “immediate regret,” panic, and terror — she's on our coaching roster now. You were born to run. The rest is coaching. See their stories ↑

I already have a plan. Why a coach?

A plan can't watch you run it. Your KTP plan lives in Final Surge — every session logged, every session gets coach feedback, and the plan adjusts to what the data says. And you don't get one coach's opinion; plans are reviewed collaboratively across a roster that includes a 2:54:45 marathoner, a 100-miler finisher, and a 2x Boston qualifier. See how the team works ↑

What if my schedule is chaos?

Plans flex; the coaching doesn't stop. Valentina credits her finish to coaching that adapted around injury without losing communication. Life happens — the plan moves with it. Read her story ↑

Can I just do the group runs?

Yes. The club is the low-commitment door: weekly group runs and the community chats. Plenty of athletes start there and add 1:1 coaching when a race gets serious. See The Club ↓

Can I cancel?

Terms are always stated plainly before you commit to anything — and the intro call costs nothing and carries no obligation.

Still unsure? Book the free call and just ask.
