Kate Courtney has been at the elite level in mountain biking for nearly a decade. XC World Champion. Marathon World Champion. Leadville 100 record-holder.
Recently, she added a new title to her name: 2026 US Road National Champion — a discipline she attempted for the first time this year. The crossover didn’t come easily, but Kate credits her foundation to what set her up for success. "When people think about high performance, they often think about the things that seem hardest. But this hard work is built on a foundation of doing 'easy things' consistently over a long period of time." One of those "easy things" is something most athletes overlook entirely. |
