Dr Kaz Williams, Performance Psychologist, Certified Running Coach, Speaker, Ultra Runner. Striving to help people discover their mettle.

Hi, I’m Kaz. I founded Mettle to help you take on challenges you are curious about, whether that’s chasing a PR or a distance you aspire to run. Our purpose is to provide you with coaching plans, mental strategies and honest support to be the best trail and ultra runner you can be.

I love to run far. My trail running journey started in Chamonix, France with Marathon du Mont Blanc in 2010. Favorite adventures include Tahoe 200, Moab 240, Ouray 100, TDS (UTMB series), Across the Years (10 days), plus successfully completing 1 loop of The Barkley Marathons, and Last Annual Vol State, a 500K continuous and self-supported race across Tennessee.

I have met incredible people during these races, shared priceless moments and experienced boundless kindness. I am grateful to be part of this amazing community.
