About Dan

I started distance running at the age of 11 and have stuck with it through middle school, high school, college, and into my adult life. In addition to my passion for running, I'm also deeply involved in the world of Muay Thai. As a certified judge, referee, fighter, and coach, I understand the importance of discipline, technique, and mental fortitude in combat sports. My experience in Muay Thai enhances my coaching style, bringing elements of strength, agility, and mental toughness to the training process.

Coaching Philosophy

I believe in a holistic approach to training, focusing not only on physical fitness but also on mental resilience and proper nutrition. Every athlete is unique, and I tailor my coaching strategies to suit individual needs and goals. Whether you're aiming for your first ultra or seeking to set a new personal record, I'm here to support and guide you every step of the way.
