“Joining DWRunning is honestly one of the best decisions I have made. This team provides not only stellar coaching that gets results, but also a community of inspiring and kind individuals whom I'm honored to call teammates. This supportive, high-performing and fun environment is cultivated by Dan's passion. He works tirelessly to know and care for each athlete. I am continually amazed by, not only his running expertise (which is unparalleled), but also, by his empathy and enthusiasm to go above and beyond. This approach creates a strong and highly-positive team culture. Everyone I have met through DWRunning is welcoming and encouraging. I especially love coming out to team long-runs. I always enjoy the company of my group, whether it consists of friends whom I have run with many times before or people whom I'm meeting for the first time.
I started with the team thinking that I just wanted Dan's help to coach me through one marathon training cycle and PR...needless to say, I got hooked, and I have been with the team ever since! Dan did in fact help my get the marathon PR I was seeking that training cycle with a 3:13 and 3rd Place finish in the 2019 Publix Atlanta Marathon. This broke my PR from the 2015 Chicago Marathon by about 15 minutes and was my first ever negative split race! While I was of course thrilled with this result, this is only a piece of the larger benefits that I've gained from DWRunning. While it may sound cliché, Dan's coaching has helped me genuinely "enjoy the process." I am very grateful to Dan and the DWRunning team for enriching, not only my running career, but my life in general!”
