Your Coaching Team.

Meet Dan:

Head Coach & Endurance Enthusiast.

With over seven years of competitive racing in Triathlon, Duathlon, Running, and Cycling, I’ve earned numerous wins across all distances. My mission is to help others conquer their goals.

My coaching journey began in 2018, starting with friends and family. It didn’t take long to discover how deeply rewarding it is to guide athletes toward their aspirations. Seeing athletes grow stronger, more confident, and achieve their dreams is more fulfilling than any medal I’ve won.

The Vision: Building Alpha State.

Alpha State is more than just a coaching team—it’s a community. My goal is to develop a nationally recognised team where athletes at all levels thrive, from first-time 5k runners to Ironman World Championship qualifiers. This isn’t just about training; it’s about creating a wraparound support system that ensures you grow stronger, healthier, and more resilient in every aspect of endurance sport.

Whether you want to conquer your first ParkRun or cross the finish line at the Ironman World Championships in Hawaii, Kona, we’re here to make it happen. Together, we’ll turn your goals into achievements.

My Philosophy.
  • Everyone’s Goal Matters: No dream is too big or small.
  • Team Spirit: A supportive, team-driven environment elevates everyone.
  • Pro-Level Resources: Access the expertise, tools, and services used by elite athletes.
  • Longevity First: Stay strong, injury-free, and ready to perform for years to come.

At Alpha State, we don’t just train athletes—we build a community of achievers. Let’s turn hard work, open communication, and determination into lifelong success.

What you get.

Custom Training Plans.

We understand how demanding life can be—balancing work, family, and training is no easy task. That’s why our expert coaches, who juggle their own daily commitments, specialize in creating tailored strategies to seamlessly integrate training into busy lifestyles.

We offer three plan options, each designed to provide the right level of support and communication based on your needs. Simply choose the one that fits your life best, and let us help you train smarter, not harder.

Science Backed Training at Alpha State.

At Alpha State, our training philosophy is rooted in progressive, science-based methods, with a strong emphasis on metabolic fitness before transitioning into race-specific preparation.

Our true passion lies in one-on-one coaching, where we work closely with each athlete to tailor the optimal training load for maximum performance gains. Through lactate testing, we determine real physiological thresholds, eliminating guesswork and ensuring every watt, meter, and stroke is geared toward achieving your ultimate goal—no wasted energy, just pure, efficient progress.

Community.

Being part of a community of like-minded athletes provides motivation, accountability, and support, making it easier to stay committed and push your limits. Training alongside others fosters a sense of camaraderie, helps you learn from shared experiences, and keeps you inspired to achieve your goals. Whether it's celebrating successes or overcoming challenges, a strong community makes the journey more enjoyable and rewarding.

Expert Guidance.

Whether you’re training for your first 5K or aiming to conquer an Ironman, our expert coaching team has the experience and knowledge to guide you every step of the way. From structured training plans and race-day execution strategies to proper fueling, recovery, and mental preparation, we ensure you’re fully equipped to perform at your best. No matter your level, we’re here to help you train smarter, build confidence, and achieve your goals.

Pre Race Planning and Nutrition Strategy.

Success on race day begins long before you reach the start line. A well-structured pre-race plan and nutrition strategy can be the difference between a breakthrough performance and struggling to finish. With the right preparation, you’ll arrive at the start line feeling fresh, properly fueled, and ready to perform at your peak. We’ll guide you every step of the way, using the latest technology to fine-tune your power, heart rate, and pacing strategies. Through race simulation days, we’ll help you refine your execution so nothing feels unexpected when it counts. Our real-life experience in fueling strategies ensures that you’re fully prepared for the demands of your event. Plus, by working closely with our partners at Precision Fuel & Hydration, we provide expert, science-backed nutrition plans tailored to your needs. With our expertise and support, you’ll have everything in place for a smooth, confident race day. Let’s get you to that start line ready to succeed!

Smarter Training.

Lactate testing is a game-changer for endurance athletes looking to maximise performance. By measuring the concentration of lactate in your blood at different exercise intensities, lactate testing provides critical insights into how your body produces energy. Whether you're a triathlete, cyclist, runner, or swimmer, understanding your lactate levels can elevate your training to new heights. 
Lactate testing empowers athletes to train smarter, not harder. Whether you're targeting a personal best or stepping up to the next level, this science-backed approach fine-tunes your training, minimises injury risk, and delivers results more efficiently.
