MOST DaDs Returning to Running want to Train like they did when they didn't have Midnight bottles to make and blown out diapers to face

Don't try to fit life into running, learn to fit running into life.

Hi, I'm Daniel Herbert.

And this is me after running for 18 hours in the rain. 👋

I am a UESCA Certified Running Coach, a former Collegiate Track and XC Athlete, Sub 1:20 Half Marathoner (as a Dad, Full Time Teacher, and Head XC coach), and am now obsessed with the Backyard Ultra Marathon format. I'm also a Dad of 2.

After the birth of my daughter I gave up training and racing for nearly a year.

I stopped recognizing my body in the daze of sleepless nights and the new responsibilities of Fatherhood. I figured that my "competitive" days were behind me.

I tried downloading training plans, talked with online coaches, watched endless Reels showing elite runners doing incredible things. I hoped it would spark some sort of change in me. It didn't...

But then I started thinking about one little switch: What if I reorganized my training around 10 day cycles rather than the 7 day week? What if I could prioritize the same focused quality sessions while creating space for extra recovery? I stopped trying to chase optimization and started thinking about prioritization: My Family, Consistency, My Energy.

I designed a 12 week training block with fewer weekly miles than I'd ever considered possible for PR success, then ran my first sub 1:20 Half Marathon (1:19:58).

I looked forward to my sessions again with a structure that felt manageable. I fit training into my life for the first time as a father. I stacked consistent days and my relationship with running became joyful again. I started to enjoy the process.

It took nearly 18 months of stopping, starting, injuries, and burnout to figure out what needed to shift. I can save you the guesswork and pain and get you headed back out on the road in my free 14 day workshop. It's not your training plan that's the problem, it's probably your relationship with running that needs to change.

I want to help you get back to running at least 3 days a week ASAP

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this for new runners?

While this is designed first for Dads who are returning to running after a hiatus, new Dad runners who have struggled with seeing themselves as a "runner" in the past will also find the materials to work well for building a healthy foundation for training as a Dad.

What is involved?

Over the next 14 days, I'll be personally guiding you through a specific series of videos with guided tasks meant to re-organize your training life and create creative solutions for how you approach training.

It's free, but one thing I do need is for you to participate in the Skool Group and get engaged with the community.

I need you to commit to following the process each day, otherwise I can't help you!

Why is it free? Are there any hidden costs?

I operate a give-first business model: I want to help you feel like you have such a clear path forward in your training process after 14 days that if you choose to work with me afterwards, it feels like a no-brainer.

Will this train me for my upcoming race?

This is not a "Training Plan". Instead, this challenge is intended to give you the mental tools to reframe your relationship with training, as well as the tools to reconfigure an existing training plan you may be following to fit your needs as a Father. It should encourage to find the right amount of running in this phase of life (which hopefully be more running if you've been struggling to get going again), but is not intended to give you specific training advice for your specific goals.

I am happy to discuss my coaching services for specific racing and running goals with anyone involved in the challenge.
