An avid trail runner and personal trainer, Catherine Walsh finds joy in getting off the beaten path to exercise, enjoy nature, and spend time with her dog – her happiest training partner!

 

She found Athletic at the end of a trail race and has been enjoying the brews ever since, becoming an Ambassador to help spread the word about the beer and the positive vibes of the community. She especially loves Athletic’s Two for the Trails initiative, which gives back to the outdoor spaces she treasures.

 

When Catherine isn’t running through the woods or training clients, she loves spending time in her rural hometown of Bethany surrounded by nature and horses.

How did you discover Athletic Brewing?

 

I was so excited when I discovered Athletic at the finish line of a race. I’ll never forget the first sips – it tastes just like an alcoholic beer but without alcohol! Since then,I’ve preferred to drink Athletic over others.

 

What made you decide to join the Ambassador community?

 

Because I loved the taste of the brews, I wanted to learn more about the company. I went on social media and saw all these posts filled with good energy and positive vibes – I love it! I knew I wanted to be part of this great community. Plus it’s a local company. I wanted to help share this awesome company with all the people that I know.

 

 

What do you love about trail running?

 

I love trail running over running on the road. For me, it’s the feeling of connection with nature and the energy of the Earth when I’m in the woods, I love the mental and physical challenge –  when I’m running on the trail, it’s never the same climb or descent. Most of the trail races I run, I also register as a member with the trail race organizers, and they use the funds to maintain the trails. That brings me back to why I want to be ambassador of this awesome company: Athletic donates up to $2 million every year to Two for the Trails, giving back to our community! I love that the company cares for our trails!

 

What’s your favorite thing about the place you live?

 

I love Bethany, CT. It’s rural with quite a lot of horses. Horses are so majestic, and I love to see them in the fields when I’m driving around. I have a land trust right at the end of my road, which is where I do most of my training runs, and I walk my dog there. It’s my dog’s happy place! She loves the trails like her mom.

 

 

How do you live a #FitForAllTimes lifestyle?

 

I love how Athletic helps me live a #FitForAllTimes lifestyle. As a personal trainer, fitness and diet are my primary focus. Athletic fits into my life seamlessly, and I don’t have to worry about missing any precious time during get-togethers with friends and family. I bring my own Athletic brews and some extra to any event that I attend to share with people who want to give it a try. I’m thankful to be an Ambassador and to be able to share that with people. Even on work days or at home, I can just crack an Athletic Lite anytime I want!
