Build something that lasts.

"I've worked with Dan for almost 2 years, both with a big end goal. Before having Dan as a coach I'd only ever ran a marathon distance but he got me running a 50km and then a 250km. I got injured in my event the first year I had Dan and he coached me back to full fitness and strength the following year where I went back and completed my 250km multistage event. Dan also offered so much flexibility when life got in the way of training and collectively we managed to find a routine that worked for that stage in my life."

"Working with Dan to prepare for my first marathon was truly a life-changing experience. From the very first day, Dan believed in me more than I believed in myself. He took the time to understand my goals, listened to how training needed to fit in with family, work and life commitments and created a personal plan that would fit in and still push me. What stood out most wasn't just his expertise, but his empathy. He celebrates every small win along the way, checks in when my motivation dips, and somehow always knows the right words to say to get me back on track. Finishing the marathon was one of my proudest moments ever."

"I reached out to Dan when I signed up for an ultra marathon and needed more structured focus to my training. Dan was super supportive across all sessions with feedback. All training was built around my preferences, focusing on weaknesses and endurance. I loved the structure of training and seeing the progress while working towards the goals we set out. Dan has always been supportive with identifying the positives to keep driving results, positive, supportive, and taught me resilience."

"My experience working with Dan has been really positive mainly because he keeps everything so easy and chilled. There's no complicated workouts or conversations. Everything is easy, straight forward and calming. He has a way of holding me accountable to my training and getting the sessions done without me feeling like I'm under any pressure to do so. He clearly has so much knowledge and so much passion for helping people and enabling them to tap into their potential in a way that works best for them and with their lives."

"If you're looking for a coach who can truly tailor your plan, then look no further. It's been so refreshing working with a coach that really listens to your personal goals, plans training around your life, supports you when you need someone to listen but then pushes you to reach your potential. Working with Dan I increased my pace, got stronger and managed to race my first road marathon in years. With Dan's support I safely trained through injury, becoming injury free. Dan is exceptional and I'd highly recommend him."

"Dan strikes a great balance between encouragement and understanding. Over the past year, as I've worked through an injury, he's adapted training thoughtfully and kept me progressing with confidence. He helps me push beyond what I thought I could do, while recognising my strengths and fitting sessions around real life to keep it all sustainable and enjoyable."

"Before starting with Dan, my running limit was not even 10km. In just one year, he transformed that into six ultra marathons and even a race win. His programme isn't just about running, it's a more rounded approach. He helped work on mentality and crucially strength work to avoid injuries. More than just a fantastic PT, he's become a genuine mate and a truly great guy. If you want to push your limits, he's your coach."

"Working with Dan has been a truly transformative experience. His holistic approach goes far beyond just running plans, he takes the time to understand and coach you as a whole person. Having picked up an injury in the lead up to my event, Dan truly understood the emotional and physical toll. He made it a 'we' problem, and always made it apparent that we were in the whole journey together. Honestly, having Dan as a coach felt like having a personal cheerleader who was always genuinely invested in my own personal journey and success."

"Dan was a great coach, he didn't just build me physically but he really helped me to mentally prepare in terms of building confidence and preparing me for what to expect. He is such a friendly and approachable person which I think is incredibly important when training for something which is likely to make you feel vulnerable and scared. He was very knowledgeable and didn't make the programme too overwhelming."

"Let's just start by saying I was extremely scared with the idea of having a coach but there was definitely no need to be, from the first call I had with Dan he put me at ease and explained that we will be working together as a team to get me as prepared for the big old goal as we could. Dan's ability to understand where you're at with no judgment, adapt your training around life/injuries and give you the confidence to push yourself to achieve what you didn't think was possible is so special! It was so nice to get started and have structure to each and every training session and know when to push and when to take days easier. Not only did Dan make sure I was ready to take on the challenges I had set throughout the year physically, he also made sure I was mentally prepared and with ways to overcome self doubt when it inevitably crept in. Having a coach who cares about the little things, is in your corner every step of the way and shouts from the rooftops about how proud they are of each milestone whilst reminding you to stop and reflect how far you have come is second to none from Dan & all of the Why We Run team."
