Dan & Owain are joined this week by David Chalfen. David currently coaches at Highgate Harriers - one of the most successful clubs in the UK - as well as coaching individuals online and in-person. He's been involved in the sport since the 1980s; as an athlete, coach and working in sport administration. David talks to us about how the landscape of the sport and coaching has changed across his career - from writing a letter to a coach to the rise of online coaching. We also discuss the UK club scene, its benefits and drawbacks.Less primary research, more art of coaching in this one!
