David García – Head Coach, Arduua

David García – Leading the Trail Running Coaching Team at Arduua

Professional Trail Running Coach | Specialist in Running Biomechanics & Injury Prevention | Head Coach, Arduua

Hi, I’m David García — a passionate trail runner, dedicated coach, and proud Madrid native.
With years of experience guiding athletes through all kinds of mountain challenges — from vertical kilometers and short technical races to ultra-trails and sky marathons — I’m honored to serve as Head Coach at Arduua, leading our global team of professional trail running coaches.

My coaching blends cutting-edge sports science with real-world trail experience.
I specialize in Running Biomechanics and Injury Prevention, helping runners move better, stay healthy, and build performance step by step.
For me, great training is not just about working hard — it’s about working smart, balancing intensity, recovery, and long-term athletic development.

Based in Madrid, Spain, I coach trail runners from around the world through the Arduua Online Coaching Platform, designing individualized training plans that support each athlete’s goals, life situation, and mountain dreams — while always keeping the joy of running alive.

When I’m not coaching, you’ll often find me training in the Guadarrama National Park or the Gredos Regional Park.
These mountains continually remind me why trail running is much more than a sport — it’s a way of life.
