Dan Plumlee's Journey as an Author
Dan Plumlee is a certified personal trainer, running coach, and recovery specialist with a passion for helping ordinary people achieve extraordinary goals. Diagnosed with Perthes disease as a child, he endured years of braces, hospital stays, and limitations before receiving two hip replacements in adulthood. Against all odds, he became an endurance athlete in his late 40s, completing a 50-mile ultramarathon and inspiring others to redefine what’s possible.
Dan knows what it’s like to feel limited—and to break free of those limits. His journey taught him that persistence and mindset can overcome nearly anything. Now, he uses that experience to help others push past their fears, doubts, and challenges to achieve their own “impossible.”
A husband and father, Dan balances a full-time executive role in marketing with his passion for health, fitness, and coaching. His story has already inspired his community, and The Long Run is his way of sharing that message with the world.
