Darrel has been an excellent, responsive coach to help me achieve my running goals. He coached, guided, encouraged, and “kept it real,” getting me to the start of each of my races feeling confident and well-prepared – all without injury.

I’ve loved your coaching! I feel much more consistent in how I’m running, and I also feel like I’m getting more out of each run. It’s been a great balance of runs while still keeping it interesting and introducing new challenges each week. Overall thank you so much for all of your super amazing coaching!

Darrel truly understands the intricacies of balancing an athlete’s life. He recognizes that we have commitments beyond running and tailors his coaching approach to fit the individual’s lifestyle, ensuring that training harmonizes seamlessly with other aspects of life. Darrel is a supportive mentor who fosters a Fearless Running community. The camaraderie among his athletes is tangible, creating an environment where everyone feels encouraged and motivated.
– Greg Koffel, Pemberton 24 Champion, 6 ultra race podium streak
PR’d on 1 mile, 2 mile, 5k, and 10k today. I was thinking I must be running my old 14-15 minute mile pace. But when I looked at my watch I could see I was still running low 11s. It’s hard to believe I’ve dropped 4 minutes per mile off my “all day” pace in 5 1/2 months. I really thought I’d be running 15 minute miles the rest of my life. Joining your coaching program has made such a difference in my running and training.

Fearless Running
The ethos of fearless running is stepping outside of your comfort zone. Running new distances, new speeds or revisiting speeds from the past. Never being afraid to take a chance!
