More About Coach David

I started coaching in 2016. I have worked with a handful of high school runners. Some of them, eventually ran at Division 1 schools. I have also trained many weekend warriors and runners of all experience levels and speeds.

I still hold the South Carolina High School 5k record (14:37), set in 1999. I ran a US#1 time in the 3200 meters (8:57) the following spring. I was named South Carolina Mr Track and Gatorade Athlete of the Year in 2000. I ran at Clemson University on scholarship. 2000 Clemson Cross Country MPV. 2001 ACC Indoor Championship Team. Hung up my running shoes for almost 10 years. Returned to competitive running, posted times, close to those I ran in high school, as a 30-34 year old. I run in many firefighter charity races each year, some of them wearing firefighter turnout gear.

A typical session would involve a warmup, running or a lunge matrix. We would move into some speed/ running form drills. The bulk of the workout would either be a distance run or a specific speed workout. The speed workout would end in a typical cooldown. Most sessions would end with a short strength based core/ mobility session.

Client Reviews

Super great guy and he made running fun. I’m not a fast runner and he never made me feel bad. He was very accommodating with his time and worked with my schedule (5:30am. It was killer).
I have worked with several personal trainers over the years and David is by far the most experienced and professional I have ever worked with. He trained both of my sons, for different sports (Cross Country/Track, Tennis conditioning) and we could not be happier with the results. He is attentive to detail and is extremely flexible to accommodate any schedule. David is a top notch professional and will help you achieve your goals and beyond.
David was able to customize weekly workouts and then adjust as progress is made. Workouts and pace could be challenging and pushed my son to achieve new goals. Hope to continue with David throughout the high school career.
