Whether you’re chasing a new personal best, getting back into running, or simply looking to stay fit and healthy as you get older, Full Stride Running is here to help you become a better runner.
I believe that good training doesn’t have to be complicated. You don’t need to run yourself into the ground, follow an overly complicated schedule, or organize your entire life around running.
You need a sensible plan, consistency, and the confidence that what you’re doing is moving you in the right direction.
That’s what Full Stride Running is all about.
First, a Quick Introduction
Hi, I’m Dan. Let’s Talk Running.
I’ve been running and racing for more than 40 years, from middle-distance track races to marathons, and I’ve experienced just about every stage of a runner’s journey.
I’ve chased personal bests, dealt with injuries and setbacks, and learned how training needs to change as we get older.
I’m also a certified Jack Daniels VDOT running coach.
My coaching philosophy is pretty straightforward:
Consistency beats occasional heroic workouts.
Training should fit your life, not the other way around.
Hard training has its place, but recovery is just as important.
Every runner is different, and their training should reflect that.
Running should be something you enjoy for years to come.
I created Full Stride Running to share what I’ve learned and help other runners train smarter, improve their performance, and enjoy the process.
Three Ways Full Stride Running Can Help You
1. Join the Full Stride Running Club
Real coaching. Practical advice. A community of runners who understand your goals.
The Full Stride Running Club is my online coaching community, hosted on Skool.
For $29 CAD per month, you’ll get:
Weekly live group coaching calls where we discuss training, racing, and your questions.
Practical workouts, training advice, and educational resources.
Opportunities to ask questions and get personal feedback.
A supportive group of runners who want to keep improving.
It’s a great option if you’d like access to an experienced coach and a running community without the expense of individual coaching.
2. Work With Me One-on-One

If you’re looking for more individual attention, I also offer one-on-one running coaching.

Not sure if coaching is right for you?
I offer a free, no-obligation 30-minute coaching consultation. We’ll talk about your current training, your goals, and where you might be able to make improvements.
3. Get Free Running Advice
Not ready for coaching? No problem.
I regularly publish free articles about training, racing, recovery, and the challenges of running as we get older.
You’ll find practical advice on topics like:
Building a training week that actually works.
Getting the right balance between easy and hard running.
Training for better performance after 40.
Avoiding common mistakes that lead to injury or burnout.
Staying motivated and consistent.
I’m also developing the Full Stride Running Podcast, featuring conversations with runners and coaches about training, racing, and everything in between.
Subscribe to the free newsletter and you’ll receive new articles and updates directly in your inbox.
Let’s Keep Running Better, for Longer
I still believe there’s something special about working toward a running goal, whether that’s a faster 5K, finishing your first race, or simply being able to head out for a run and feel good doing it.
And I believe that with the right approach, we can keep enjoying those experiences well into our masters years and beyond.
That’s why I started Full Stride Running.
If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d love to help.
Cheers,
Dan.
Great welcome post, Dan. Running fast after 40 with smarter, sustainable training is a message plenty of busy leaders and educators need to hear, too. Glad to be along for the journey.
