ATHLETE TESTIMONIALS

"Danny coached me through the most ambitious running year of my life, through a marathon, a 50k and my first 50 miler. He listens to your personal goals and will create a training plan that makes sense for you. Whether you’re chasing a time or going for a new distance, Danny’s versatile experience will help you get there. I made it to all of my finish lines happy and injury free, and can’t wait to find out what I can accomplish next with Danny’s help!"
"Working with Danny was a game-changer. He helped me shave 10 minutes off my marathon time and run a 3:05 in Paris—something I honestly didn’t think I was capable of. His training plan pushed me in all the right ways, and he was always there to answer questions, offer encouragement, and adjust the plan when life got in the way. Danny is incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and motivating. I felt like I had someone in my corner the entire journey. I can’t recommend him enough!"

"Having no experience with the world beyond 26.2 I felt it was wise to find my first coach. Danny was an easy choice after experiencing his energizing and motivating coaching style at a tread class. His weekly customized training plan, extensive knowledge and attention to my changing needs led me to winning my first 50 miler. Trusting the training is easy when Coach Danny is on your team!"

"I first met Danny during a Monday workout for a marathon training program. He was leading the session, and I was struck by how much I learned in just that one hour and that’s when I decided to reach out and work with him 1-on-1. Danny’s responsive and thoughtful in his approach. He doesn’t just hand out a plan, I appreciate that he checks in regularly, gives feedback, and tailors things based on how you’re actually feeling. While I had to defer the marathon I initially was training with him due to sickness, I was able to finish strong on a half marathon. I’ve seen real progress since training with him and in how I feel overall as a runner and I am looking forward to continuing my running journey with Danny!"

"Coach Danny is, simply put, the best coach to ever exist. As a runner who grew up running competitively in cross country and track and field, Danny guided me, effortlessly, into more serious long distance running (with zero injuries!!).
Coach Danny is incredibly attentive and is beyond supportive. Whether that is for modifications or some extra hype. He is timely with the running schedules and is only ever a text or phone call away. I’ve been training with Danny for a little over a year now from Mile High Run Club and then onto private coaching and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made for my mental/physical health, training, and over all lifestyle. If you want a 10 minute PR, you should go to THE coach Danny himself."
"I highly recommend working with Coach Danny for anyone looking for a coach who knows how to put their athletes health and wellness first without compromising their running goals. Danny helped me set a marathon PR and more importantly designed a strength and running program that enabled me to complete two fall marathons injury free. His positive attitude and responsiveness ensures he is there for you in moments of doubt and moments of celebration."

"Working with Danny was a game-changer for my marathon training. He customized my plan based on my starting pace, schedule, and goals, with a holistic approach that included guidance on cross-training, nutrition, and mental preparation. The workouts were challenging but sustainable, helping me build endurance and confidence heading into race day.
Danny was very responsive throughout and adapted our plan when needed to keep me on track. The training experience was great, and with with his coaching I knocked over 20 minutes off my PR to hit my sub-4:00 marathon goal. Highly recommended to anyone serious about taking their running to the next level!"
"Danny is amazing. His coaching is founded in tried and true principles - not fads - and he takes the time to get to know his athletes as individuals. Danny saw me through and injury and kept me focused and inspired. He also schedules training by the week, not month, which ensures it actually fits in with the athletes’ lives. Danny is always available and an amazing coach."

"I have trained with Danny for 3 marathons, one ultra marathon (50 miler). Through the marathon preps, I have cut off over a hour from my marathon time but more importantly improved my overall fitness. His knowledge and guidance is what keeps me working with him. Working with him also reminds me to remain competitive with myself. It’s admirable to have a coach who’s also a strong ultra runner."

"…Danny provided me curated weekly programming completely tailored to my abilities, while pushing me to work hard. Some weeks I thought there was no way I could do the tempo or marathon pace at the time or distance scheduled, but Danny knew I could. Week after week I followed his training and not only grew my physical endurance but my confidence…
I showed up to the Berlin marathon with nothing but excitement…(and) finished strong, knocking 8 minutes off my previous PR…With Danny’s coaching I’ve learned to back myself and lean into the unknown with confidence."

“Not only did Danny manage to get my anxious a** onto a start line, his coaching led me to breeze through my first marathon like it was a casual Saturday long run. Best coach ever.”
