Meet Your Coach

I've been exactly
where you are.

I know what it's like to juggle training around a full life — work, kids, commitments that never stop. I've been there. And I know how frustrating it is to put in the effort without a clear plan or someone in your corner.

That's why I built a coaching approach that works around real life — not the other way around. Whether you're chasing your first 5K, a marathon PB, or a HYROX finish line, I'll build you a plan that fits, push you when you need it, and hold you back when you don't.

The Curriculum

What You'll Learn & Build

Every program covers the full picture — not just running. Because lasting performance comes from training smarter across every area of your health.

Running Fundamentals

From choosing the right shoes to understanding your stride, cadence, and heart-rate zones.

Tailored Training Plans

Structured programs for 5K, 10K, half marathon, full marathon, and HYROX — built around your schedule.

Injury Prevention

Techniques and movement patterns to keep your body healthy and your training uninterrupted.

Nutrition for Runners

How to fuel before, during, and after your runs for optimal energy, recovery, and race-day performance.

Strength Training

Running-specific strength work to build power, correct imbalances, and protect your joints long-term.

Mobility & Recovery

Targeted mobility routines and recovery protocols so your body adapts, repairs, and comes back stronger.

Mindset & Motivation

Develop the mental resilience to stay consistent, push through hard sessions, and show up on race day.

Building Confidence

Develop unshakeable self-belief so you toe the start line knowing you've done the work — and trust yourself to deliver on race day.

Sound familiar?

Still figuring it out
on your own?

No Time, No Structure

Between work, kids, and everything else — finding a consistent running routine feels impossible. You need a plan built around your actual life.

Slow Progress & Injuries

You're putting in the effort but the results aren't coming. Or you keep getting hurt right when momentum builds. Sound familiar?

Running Alone, No Accountability

Motivation spikes then fades. Without someone in your corner tracking your progress and adjusting your plan, it's easy to quit.

Information Overload

Every article says something different. You don't need more content — you need a clear, personalised blueprint and someone to hold you to it.

Real Results

What Athletes Are Saying

Busy parents. Real goals. Real results. Here's what coaching with Daniel actually looks like.

HOKA 10km Finisher
HOKA 10km · 1:01

"In just 10 weeks with Daniel, I went from starting my running journey to completing the HOKA Half Marathon 10km in 1:01, something I never thought possible. He tailored my training around a busy life with three kids, giving me a clear, structured plan and constant support. Daniel knew exactly when to push me and when to hold me back, which helped me trust the process. What stands out most is how invested he is. It's more than a program, he adapts, encourages, and genuinely cares. I felt supported every step of the way, even on the tough days. I'm so proud of how far I've come and excited to keep building. I couldn't recommend Daniel more."

HYROX Brisbane · 1:27:04 PB

"I started training with Daniel in the lead up to my recent Hyrox race. I've loved the consistency, structure and flexibility. His communication is great, and he knows how to tailor a program around a busy schedule. Came away with 1:27:04 — a new PB for me. Next up Hyrox Sydney and a Half Marathon."

"I've known Dan for a while now — we used to run together at run club and he even helped pace my first 5K in 24 minutes, which I still haven't beaten. He really understands how to help busy parents balance running and training with everyday life, and as a dad himself he doesn't just talk it, he lives it. He's a genuinely great person who gives practical, honest advice. Whether you're new to running or chasing a new goal, Dan's your guy."

"Started with an injury and only 8 weeks to go from 10km to a half marathon. Dan built a plan around my life, kept me accountable, and pushed me past every excuse. Finished under time and couldn't have done it without his coaching!"

14-Day Kickstart Challenge

"The 14 day kick start challenge is definitely what I needed. From never having done coaching before (because I feel like I 'somewhat' know what I'm doing) it was definitely the kick start I needed to get my health, fitness and running journey back on track."

Delphine J. at City2Surf finish line

"I'd highly recommend Dan as a running coach. His support and guidance were incredible. He helped me train smart, recover well, and actually enjoy the process. From a non-runner who'd never run before to completing the 14km City2Surf and loving every minute!"

"All in just 4 months of training with Dan: first 10km under 1:15, second 10km in 1hr flat, 15km in 1:30, longest training run 24km at 5:45 pace — then only 3 weeks later, I ran my first marathon 42km in 4 hours flat! I honestly thought I couldn't even run 20km, but with Dan's coaching and support, I got it done."

Leigh F. at HYROX finish

"I worked with Daniel for 14 weeks on a HYROX-focused running program and the results spoke for themselves. My pace improved from 4:30/km (Open) to 4:00/km (Pro) through a structured, goal-specific plan that fit my schedule. The support, communication, and coaching made a huge difference. Highly recommend Daniel to anyone wanting to improve their running."

Tiresa B. with Daniel at the gym

"I hadn't really run since I was a teenager, and as a mum of three, I honestly thought running a 5K was just out of reach for me. But training with you has changed everything. You've helped me not only hit that 5K milestone that felt impossible, but also aim for even bigger goals like Hyrox Sydney. I'm so grateful for your support and the way you've made me believe in myself again."
