The Coaching
Assessment
Find out where you’re at.
Starting with our free intake assessment, we’ll determine where to safely begin your running journey.
Strategy
Design a plan that works.
Together we’ll design a plan that’s tailored to your unique goals and needs — and how to help you achieve them.
Success
Re-work and succeed.
Because the path to success isn’t “one size fits all,” we’re committed to getting you to the finish line.
Sometimes that little push is all you need. Get started now by taking our free assessment.
We’ve designed a brief survey to help us get to know you and your running goals. Not sure what you need yet? That’s okay too — there’s no obligation necessary.
Meet Dan Heller
Your mentor from afar.
With 20 years of athletic training experience, I train runners of all ages and backgrounds. Be it a 5K, 10K, marathon or the ability to run a 10-minute mile, I have firsthand experience helping clients overcome the physical, mental and emotional challenges involved in achieving their running-related goals.
To learn more about how I can help you achieve yours, check out my resources page, get started on your free running assessment, or simply send me a hello at dan@mentormyrun.com.
Whether I’m running with my local track club, training clients or preparing for my next big race, I love what I do — and wouldn’t have it any other way.

What Runners Are Saying
Julia S.Quite simply, Dan helped me achieve something I never imagined I could. I’m not what I would call a runner — not even close — but in 2016 I decided to tackle the Amsterdam half-marathon. Dan was immediately encouraging of this challenge, mapping out a training plan and supporting me remotely (via text, email, etc.) throughout the process. He held me accountable and gently pushed me when I needed it; inspiring me to stay on track and focus on a goal that I am so proud to have achieved. Thank you Dan for supporting me all the way to the finish line!”
