Dave's Dailies in the Peak District

Last time we introduced Dave Taylor, our new running coach. Since then we've been busy putting together "Dave's Dailies".

The Peak District in winter
Dave's Dailies are bespoke, one day specials designed to give you a taste of trail running without you having to fork out for a full weekend. We can organise these dailies to fit in with your schedule and we don’t need a minimum number, so tell us when you want to run and we’ll do our best to organise it!

What You Get

  • A one day special – meeting places will be decided (depends on the route).
  • Guided and coached trail running along a specially selected route. Full details of the route/timings/gradients/difficulty will be given.
  • Pick Dave's brains: you get full access to his knowledge for the day – use it!

Highlights

  • Run safely with Dave who has won both individual and team medals in British & English Fell Running Championships
  • Learn some top tips on how to navigate while on the move
  • See those parts of the Peak District you didn’t know existed
  • Get wet/muddy/tired/elated and motivated
See our website for full details and information on Dave's Dailies and to book your own excursion into the Peak District.


Dave is a qualified teacher with 15 years' experience coaching sport and outdoor activities. He holds the Mountain Leader Award, British Orienteering L1 coach and the UK Athletics Leadership in Running Fitness Award.

Dave has contributed to Outdoor Fitness and Trail Running magazines, writing about navigation and hill running, and he's written articles for Men’s Running magazine on topics including mountain marathons, navigation and night running. In 2012 he assisted with route planning and organising the inaugural 2012 Ultra Tour of the Peak District.
