More About Coach Daniel
I am a V.O2 Certified Running Coach and NASM Certified Personal Trainer who has coached post-collegiate adults from 5K to marathon PRs. I have coached athletes of all levels to improve their strength and running to be the best version of themselves.
I have a marathon PR of 2:39 at CIM and a half-marathon PR of 1:13 at Ventura. Through consistency and smart training I have improved in all distances every year I have been running. I have also completed many ultra distance running races from 50K-100K with multiple top 10 finishes and 1 top 3 finish. I was the captain of my DIII basketball team at Emerson College and led them to the conference championship game.

Client Reviews
John (CoachUp client)
Met with coach Dan for an introductory session and he was very helpful with Fred back and suggestions on how to improve my run as far as postures and getting more mileage in.
Richard (CoachUp client)
Coach Daniel did a training session for my two daughters (ages 19 and 10) to help them be better runners for soccer. He was very responsive to outreach before scheduling and was impressively flexible on the location. My daughters both loved him! His positive, supportive attitude was just right for their needs and he led them in a really productive session of exercises and drills. He then left us with a guide for future training and offered some specific advice on improving their running. I highly recommend Coach Daniel!
David (CoachUp client)
Daniel was an excellent coach for my son! He was quick to evaluate my sons form and technique, offering tips to improve his maneuverability and acceleration. He enjoyed the session and is motivated to have another. Thank you!
John Dennehy (Testimonial)
Although Dan wasn't my official coach, I relied on him for workout advice and training tips, and I can say with confidence that he has a deep understanding of fitness, fueling, and running. I've been running with him for a few years now, and he's always been there to push me to be my best and to offer suggestions on how to really take my workouts to the next level. There’s been multiple occasions where his advice transformed the quality of my runs. His passion for fitness is contagious, and he's always eager to share his knowledge and experience with others. If you're looking for a knowledgeable and dedicated coach, Dan is your guy!
Steven Remington (Testimonial)
Dan is an awesome coach and very passionate and professional. I enjoy working with him and his line of communication is always open to discuss my runs or any questions or concerns I may have, for both my strength training and running schedule. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable about the training process but he has the experience behind him. I look forward to working with Dan even more in the future as I become a more seasoned runner.
