Meet My Running Coach: Dan Walters!

EP 42 (Dan Walters)

NEW PODCAST EPISODE:

Meet Dan Walters, my running coach since 2017!

In this week's episode, we of course talk running, but more than that, I want to share the story of how this one time engineer turned his passion and side hustle into an incredibly successful career as the head coach of DWRunning, the Chicago-based running team that Dan today leads with his wife Allie.

DWRunning currently boasts 288 race wins, 496 Boston Marathon qualifying marks, 5 Olympic Marathon Trials appearances, countless Personal Bests and Age Group Wins, and even a Beer Mile Champion.

The diverse team is composed of everyone from former college track stars to university professors, from an age group world champion to a lawyer and content creator.

Personally, after working with Dan for only one year, I PR'd (personal record) in every single race I ran in 2018, including 3 marathon personal bests. But even putting aside all the PRs and race medals, Ive long counted my decision to join DWRunning and to work with Dan as one of the best decisions Ive ever made, because he continues to teach me that it's when you set aside your ego that confidence finally has a chance to grow.

Dan is a mentor and a friend, and his inspirational story is a blueprint for building the career of your dreams.

Special thanks to Ryan Gooding, Lauren Zumbach, Allie Walters and the rest of my DWRunning teammates for the amazing pictures that accompany today's episode.
