I'm Dan, and I spent 15 years staring at spreadsheets in investment banking and oil trading.

I was good at my job, and seemingly very happy.

...I was also exhausted, unfulfilled, and slowly becoming someone I didn't recognise.

Running saved me (not to be overly dramatic 😅). But in those early-morning miles before trudging to the office and plonking myself behind a desk, I found something that spreadsheets couldn't give me.

Clarity. Purpose. And a reason to get up that had nothing to do with making someone else money.

I started coaching almost by accident. One of my best friends came to me with a 'simple' goal...she wanted to run a marathon. Most people would have told her to download an app and hope for the best.

I didn't do that.

I built her a plan. I coached her through the good weeks, the hard weeks, the missed sessions, the moments she wanted to quit. And despite assuring me many times over the years that she'd never run a marathon, she crossed that finish line and smashed her target time.

That moment changed everything for me.

Now, I have one goal - to help regular runners just like you cut through the noise and train smarter.

No gimmicks. No overly complicated science. Just information that actually has a practical use.

And I'm by no means an elite runner - I've run a 3:26 marathon and a 19:33 5K. Good, but not breaking any records any time soon!

But I know what it takes to chase a goal and I know what it feels like when the training falls apart and you have to rebuild from scratch. I've been there (more than once).

I also know that most runners who haven't broken Sub-4 yet aren't failing because they're not working hard enough.

They're failing because nobody gave them the full picture.

Strength work, fuelling your runs properly, how to pace yourself, and what to do when life gets in the way.

That's exactly what the Sub-4 Blueprint is.

It's everything I wish someone had handed me when I first started chasing a time goal. Packaged up, laid out clearly, and built around the reality that you have a job, a life, and things that will get in the way of your training.

You don't need to be a serious athlete to run Sub-4.

You just need the right plan and someone to be honest with you about what it actually takes.

That's what the Sub-4 Blueprint is, so if you're ready to smash your marathon, let's do it together!

Who Is This Course For?

  • You want to learn how to run comfortably at a sub-4hr marathon pace

  • You value planning and preparation

  • Runners who are worries about tackling the marathon distance and need that bit of extra support

Who Is This Course NOT For?

  • You aren't willing to take instructions and prefer to wing it

  • You think that cramming a few tough long runs in 3 weeks before race day is enough to survive

  • You aren't prepared to show up and do the work.

    This may be a blueprint, but you're the builder.

Frequently Asked Questions

What skill level is this program for?

You don't need to be an experienced athlete or have a huge background in structured training. If you can currently run comfortably for 60-90 minutes and you're serious about hitting Sub-4, this programme is designed for you.

It assumes no prior knowledge of training zones, strength work, or race nutrition - everything is explained from scratch.

How long do I have access to the program & when does it start?

You get lifetime access to everything inside the Sub-4 Blueprint.

The moment your payment goes through, the portal is open and your resources are ready. Your 16-week training plan starts whenever you're ready to begin - no fixed cohort dates or waiting periods.

Most runners choose a start date that puts their race week at the end of Week 16, so work backwards from your race date and begin from there.

Can't I learn all of this on Youtube?

Honestly? Some of it, yes. There is tons of free running content out there and plenty of it on my very own channel.

But the issue is that YouTube only gives you individual pieces of the puzzle.

A video on pacing here. A video on gels there. A strength workout with no context for where it fits in your training week. You spend more time searching, cross-referencing, and second-guessing than you do actually preparing.

The Sub-4 Blueprint is everything in one place, built to work together, across 16 weeks so you always know exactly what to do next.

The training plan, the strength work, the fueling strategy, the race day prep - it's one holistic system rather than a playlist.

Free content tells you what to do. This tells you how, when, and in what order.

What do I need to have before starting?

Errr...not much.

You need a pair of running shoes, enough base fitness to run for around 60 minutes without stopping, and a goal race booked or in mind.

A compatible running watch to sync your training runs to - any Garmin, Coros or Apple Watch will do.

The programme includes both a gym-based strength plan and a full home bodyweight alternative so you can still strength train even if you don't have a gym membership.
