About Dave

I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes 30 years ago and, like a lot of people, spent time wondering what that meant for the life I wanted to live. Running has become a huge part of who I am having played rugby, CrossFit and various other sports running is what I love.

I went from beginner to completing 100-mile ultras — not despite T1D, but with it fully factored into every training block, every race plan, every long day in the hills.

I started coaching because I kept meeting T1D athletes who were getting generic advice from coaches who had never lived with the condition.

Coaching Philosophy

Athlete first, arm round the shoulder or those who need a little more help in managing their workload and supporting the accountability needed to perform at your best level.
