Daniel Cogswell aka the_marathon_dan. Dan has been running for five years, he is a train driver from Birmingham. Tune in and find out how a bantered bet has played a part in transforming his lifestyle. Dan has literally gone from Couch > Half Marathon > Marathon > Ultra. 

He challenged himself to run four marathons in his second year of running, and has set a goal to run the six World Marathon Majors. This year he’s taken on some serious ultras with a Rat Race season pass, but he has further race plans for this year including New York Marathon and a crazy adventure in Miami. This chat seriously inspired me to get up and get moving. What a determined, passionate runner!! 

Listen to the episode to discover How Dan loves to see how much he can push himself mentally and physically; to what he attributes his resilience and ability to endure difficult challenges and adversities, and why the coined Threshold Trail Series phrase “More Is In You” has stuck with Dan.

Dan gives some great insight into the world of marathon and ultra running in this episode and gives some brilliant tips for newbie runners. You will want to listen, just to hear about some of his crazy adventures and future plans for this year, if you’re not already you will definitely want to give him a follow over on Instagram for this epic year he has planned.
