Sport scientist.
Triathlete.
Mediocre cook,
allegedly.

I'm 6'4", 101kg, and built nothing like the lean, stringy stereotype you picture when someone says "triathlete." That's on purpose.

I've got a Bachelor's degree in Sport Science and I'm a qualified coach — so the programming behind everything I do is grounded in how the body actually adapts, not in whatever's trending this week. But I also genuinely love this stuff: I finished my first marathon, backed it up with an Ironman 70.3 in Valencia, and went sub-3 at my first Olympic distance triathlon.

The thing I won't do is quietly drop the gym work to "make room" for the mileage. Most endurance plans treat strength training as optional — something to sacrifice the moment the swim/bike/run volume creeps up. I think that's a mistake, and I've built my own training (and my coaching) around proving it doesn't have to be that way. Perform like a triathlete. Look good doing it. That's the whole pitch.

Outside of training, I post the unfiltered version of all this over on @danthecoach — sessions, cooking attempts of varying success, and honest reviews of whatever pre-workout or protein snack I've bought this month. I take the coaching seriously. I don't take myself seriously. Both things are true at once.
