About

This is a channel about how runners can live better lives through consistent self-improvement. Unlike other running brands, The 1% Better Runner focuses on how small, daily habit improvements ripple into broader life success, helping runners perform better both on and off the road, track, or dirt. I’m Daren DLake: Certified running and nutrition coach, Sub-3-hour marathoner and 10-hour Ironman finisher Since 1996, I’ve been helping other self-coached runners, researching, and experimenting on how to better myself 1% each day. A few times a week, I’ll drop how I’m tweaking my training, sticking to habits when life’s messy, and cool stuff from coaches and health pros It’s a no-BS cheat sheet for building better habits—not just for running, but for work, relationships, and personal growth too. Join the '1% Better Running' squad and get my free 30-day base and habits training plan when you sign up!" https://dlakecreates.com/news
