Hi, I’m Daniel Steamer.
I spent most of my adult life at a desk. As a video game designer, long hours sitting with bad posture and zero movement were just part of the job. By the time I decided something had to change, my body was a mess. The only thing that still worked was my legs. So I started running.
My first goal was to run a mile without stopping.
That was seven years ago. Since then, I've completed over 150 races, earned my coaching certifications, and built Live Your Own Adventures around one simple idea — that everyday adults are more capable than they think, they just need the right plan and someone who actually gets what their life looks like.
I'm not a lifelong athlete. I'm someone who figured it out the hard way and built a system so you don't have to.

“Working with Coach Daniel turned my half‑marathon dream into a finish‑line reality. His tailored training plans, steady encouragement, and smart race‑day strategies kept me injury‑free and growing stronger week by week. By race morning I felt calm, prepared, and—most of all—confident. Crossing the finish line with a PR and a smile was the perfect proof that Daniel’s coaching works.”

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Both. What matters isn't where you're starting — it's that you have a goal and you're ready to commit to reaching it. I've worked with people who had never run a mile and others who were chasing a marathon PR. The plan is built around you, not a template.
-
Not at all. If you have one in mind, great. If you don't, we'll find one together. Having a race on the calendar is part of the process. It gives your training a focus and a deadline.
-
It depends on your goal and where you're starting, but most of my clients train 4-6 days a week. The plan is built around your actual schedule, not an ideal one.
-
That's exactly why you hire a coach. You don't need to be ready, you just need to be willing.
-
Running is my focus. I'll program cross-training for swimming or cycling, when it serves your running goals or activity interests. But if you need a swim coach or a cycling coach, there are expert coaches for that. If you need a running coach who understands how it all fits together, you’re in the right place.
