Hi, I’m Karoline Olsen, the founder of Stay Satisfied, a professional running coach, marathon runner, and a relentless believer in the power of progress over perfection. I created Stay Satisfied as a reflection of my personal journey—a journey marked by hard work, resilience, and learning to embrace balance while chasing ambitious goals.

Running has been a transformative part of my life. I ran my first marathon in 2019, surprising everyone (including myself) by winning it. That experience ignited a passion for pushing limits and pursuing my ultimate goal: competing in the Olympics. Along the way, I’ve improved my marathon time to 2:46 and continue striving for new milestones, like breaking my personal records and balancing a high training volume with sustainable living.

But my story is about more than running. Growing up, I struggled to find my footing in school and life, often feeling different from my peers. It wasn’t until I shifted my mindset to focus on improvement rather than perfection that I discovered the joy of progress. That lesson shaped not only my academic and athletic pursuits but also how I approach friendships, health, and personal growth.

My journey hasn’t been without challenges. I’ve faced burnout, injuries, and the overwhelming pressure of trying to do it all—excelling in my career, relationships, fitness, and more. Those experiences taught me the importance of balance, recovery, and the realization that true fulfillment isn’t a destination. It’s a feeling. That’s why I’m passionate about helping others find and maintain their own version of satisfaction through Stay Satisfied.

Through my platforms, like my YouTube channel (Runner Karoline Olsen) and Instagram (@runnerkarolineolsen), I share tips, stories, and insights on running smarter, staying motivated, and building a lifestyle that prioritizes health and happiness. From running programs and strength training plans to personal reflections and recipes, my goal is to inspire others to embrace their own journey—whether they’re chasing a marathon PR or simply looking to live with more intention.

Stay Satisfied is more than a brand; it’s a philosophy—a commitment to progress, balance, and lifelong growth. My mission is to provide the tools, resources, and community to help you create a life you love and stay fulfilled along the way. Let’s chase that feeling together!
