I’m David Poole, a USATF-certified marathon coach with decades of endurance experience across multiple countries. I’ve completed more than 25 half marathons, 15 marathons, all seven Abbott World Marathon Majors, marathons on six continents (yes, including Antarctica), the 2014 Boulder IRONMAN, the 2016 DATEV Challenge Roth—the world’s largest long-distance triathlon—in Germany, and eight IRONMAN 70.3 events, earning All World Athlete Bronze recognition in 2016.

More importantly, I use this experience to help runners avoid common mistakes and achieve their goals with confidence. My mission is to provide expert guidance, encouragement, and a reminder to enjoy the journey—along with practical travel tips for racing abroad. Let’s build a plan that gets you to the start line confident and the finish line strong.💪🏁
