'I’ve known Dan well for over a decade and, for all that time, he’s been training in long-distance running. He’s spent countless hours over maps planning and testing trails, studying sports physiology, learning about the best nutrition for athletes (including snacks for running), recovery after strenuous runs, and the gear needed for all types of training in different weather and climates. In other words, Daniel is a walking encyclopaedia of running.
He has fantastic lived experience of training, running competitions, and productive recovery. This is exactly how he planned my training when I asked him to coach me. I was pleasantly surprised that my weekly sessions were well balanced and not strenuous at all, but actually quite enjoyable. My heart rate and strength improved quickly, and I could run with more control.
Daniel’s balanced approach taught me to build my fitness step by step and avoid overtraining. It might not sound like much, but for me running is a way of decompressing and spending time in nature, so it’s essential that after my morning session I feel fresh rather than exhausted-and can go to work full of energy'.
