I started working with Dan in 2026 as I prepared for the Kat100 Endurance Trail race in Austria (75km distance 4,137m elevation), not as a novice but as an experienced endurance athlete. Progressively harder challenges meant I needed to expand my support team and Dan provided a very experienced sound board for my scheduling. For me it was not about the basics it was sense checking training ideas and plans and seeing if we can tease out improvements  across higher volumes of training. I have no doubt Dan can provide value as a coach to beginners and experienced athletes alike as his responsive communications and clear passion for the sport is evident throughout. He knows his stuff and I would proactively recommend him to anyone seeking a coach.
