About

I’m Dan Joelsson and I’m the founder of Lighthouse Endurance Coaching.  I started this company to share my life-long passion for endurance sports. I’m excited to share my experience and education to help others reach their goals in a safe and sustainable way.  Why a lighthouse? Like a lighthouse a coach shows the way to safely and effectively navigate to reach your goals.

I’m a scientist and I’ve spent over two decades helping to deliver life changing medicines.  However, many of the diseases we commonly face can be prevented by regular exercise and good nutrition instead of medication. I believe endurance sports are an excellent way to do so and I study the latest trends in endurance coaching to maximize the potential of my clients. My passion for science means that I use an evidence-based and objective approach to coaching.  If you sign on work with me, you will go through regular assessments and testing to ensure your plan is always optimal for your current fitness. I’m a certified running coach and nutrition coach and also coach cycling and mountain biking.

While passionate about coaching, I’m also an active member of the endurance sports community.  I’ve been a competitive runner, mountain biker, and cyclist for over 30 years and continue to enjoy training and pushing my own limits.
