Dean is the GOAT of endurance training and performance nutrition coaching. Hands down. Look no further. Don’t even argue. He helped me run 42.2km in 3:41:46 with less than 16 weeks of prep time, when my previous furthest ever run was 6.3km. Read that again. Sub 4hr first time marathon in <16wks… Deans the dude you wish you had in your corner anytime you set out to achieve something truly incredible. Best part is, he walks the walk through and through alongside you, meaning failure is near impossible. His care factor is 100. Skill level is 1000. Thanks for everything Deano 🤙

Dean has guided and coached my whole running journey from struggling to run 3km to now 2 half marathons and 2 full distance marathons. Dean is a great communicator and is always considerate and personalised with his training programs, whether it is analysing and providing feedback on previous sessions or if there are life pressures which may affect the weekly running program Dean is accommodating and realistic. Dean is serious about and knowledgeable on injury prevention. It’s been a great experience and one that I will continue, cannot recommend Dean enough!

I was lucky enough to have Dean help me reach one of my nutrition goals for my wedding last year. Dean was extremely supportive and took into consideration the foods I loved while making sure that I was meeting my macros. He checked in on me regularly so that I didn’t feel like I was doing it on my own and I know that if I felt like I couldn’t do it or was slipping I had someone I could call. Because of Dean’s support I felt amazing on my wedding day. I recommend Dean to anyone who is looking to smash their goals, you definitely will feel supported and motivated to keep going.

I’ve been training with Dean since February, and it’s been amazing so far! He’s a great coach who knows exactly how to keep me on track and slow me down when needed. I really appreciate him being aware of injuries and on top of rest and recovery. His knowledge of running really shows, and he never tries to rush the process. Dean’s training sessions are always manageable, and I appreciate that he’s always available to chat and answer any questions I have. I couldn’t ask for a more supportive coach, especially coming back from an injury and being frustrated with my process at times. Bring on the races!

Dean is not only guiding me to my first marathon (which has been a big bucket list time for me for ages) but also in an epic approach to life and I’m very grateful for his time and expertise. Here is what I have learnt so far…. Be consistent – just keep turning up. Be patient – fall in love with the process, even if it is slow. Be present – let your body do what it’s meant to do. I’ve achieved some pretty cool things in just a month with Dean too. Personally I’ve run my furthest run to date at 17km and my fastest 1, 5 and 10km times ever and the best part, none of those things were a focus, just a byproduct of turning up, being patient and being present. Most importantly for me, my boys are seeing me working hard towards this goal and they think it’s pretty cool that I run so far. My fiancé is loving seeing me so passionate, almost obsessed with something again too. Dean programs for ME and where I’m at, always checks in to see how things are progressing and answers all of my ridiculous questions very promptly and I’ve had a lot of them. I can’t wait to smash this marathon and see what’s next for Dean and I.
