David enjoys coaching others to help them achieve their potential in training, health, life, and racing. Coming from a background of medicine and shift-work, his approach is to fully integrate training into the context of the athletes work, family, and other commitments: optimising overall fitness, nutrition, sleep, and efficient use of time, whilst enjoying the process day-to-day.  A balanced approach personal to the athlete that works well in the long-term is the aim. Training smart, using evidence based principles, cross-training, strength work, and keeping it fun.

Coaching Testimonials...

"David perfectly twists together his knowledge and experience as an outstanding runner, a coach and a doctor to help get the best out of people. David would often deep dive on absolutely any queries I had, be it about nutrition, injury or hormones, to help me improve and progress forward. He was always contactable and communicated everything in a very easy to understand way. Working with David taught me so much about running, health and mindset and he continues to be an amazingly positive supporter. Honestly, I can't tell how he gets it all done, and to such a high standard, be he does! Thank you David".

David’s approach is all about maximizing training and efficiency without sacrificing everything else in life. I absolutely loved the approach and always felt like every session had a specific purpose without incorporating lots of junk mileage. With a big focus on economy, rest and cross training I would always get the most out of each session and feel ready for the next one.
This approach led me to being in the best shape possible for my events with only doing half the training time I’d done in the past. I can’t recommend and thank David enough!
