I've been coaching and training for over 10 years in the Austin, TX area since graduating from Texas A&M with an undergraduate degree in Applied Exercise Physiology.
I've been a lifelong endurance athlete in every sense of the phrase. I grew up racing cross country and track, primarily the 800 and 1600, in school. In college, I raced for the Texas A&M club triathlon program, and for several years after graduating continued to race mostly short course age group with some longer races mixed in. In the last few years, I've returned to my roots so to speak and gone back to pure running, focusing mostly on long distance trail racing. When I'm not actively training and racing, I love going out into the mountains and being more of an adventure athlete while doing long distance hiking and summit bagging.
Professionally, I've worked with runners and triathletes of all ages, distances and disciplines. As a coach and athlete, I understand that you pour everything you have into your training and expect the same in return from your coach. I make suer to go out of my way to treat each athlete like the individual that they are and make sure to cater to all their individual needs as best I can.
I offer a range of services including personalized training plans and strength plans for runners, triathletes, and other endurance athletes, as well as in person personal training and run coaching in the Austin, TX area. Please visit www.robertdaotraining.com for more information and pricing.
