David Garcia – Leading the Trail Running Coaching Team at Arduua
Professional Trail Running Coach | Specialist in Running Biomechanics & Injury Prevention | Head Coach, Arduua.
Greetings, I’m David Garcia, a passionate trail runner, dedicated coach, and proud Madrid native. With years of experience guiding athletes through the world of trail running—from vertical kilometers and short technical races to ultra-trails and sky marathons—I’m honored to serve as the Head Coach at Arduua, leading our global team of professional trail running coaches.
My approach to coaching combines cutting-edge sports science with real-world trail experience, focusing on Running Biomechanics and Injury Prevention. I believe that peak performance comes not only from training hard, but from training smart—balancing intensity, recovery, and long-term athletic health.
Based in Madrid, Spain, I work with trail runners from around the world through the Arduua Online Coaching Platform, delivering personalized training plans that help each athlete reach their full potential—while staying healthy, motivated, and connected to the mountain spirit.
When I’m not coaching, you’ll find me training in the Guadarrama National Park or the Gredos Regional Park, where every run reminds me why trail running is more than sport—it’s a way of life.
