Mazzei Momentum

I believe every runner deserves the chance to reach their full potential.

Hi! I’m Daniel Mazzei, West Point '21. I ran Cross Country and Track for four years there, and was the Team Captain my senior year. I ran the 1500m in 3:48, the mile in 4:09, the 3k in 8:13, the 5k in 14:23, and the 8k in 23:17 (converted time of a 4.7 mile race).

In highschool I ran at Berryhill Highschool in Oklahoma, running the 800m in 1:56 (4X8 Split), the 1500m in 3:56, the 1600m in 4:09, the 3k in 8:31, and the 5k in 15:32, winning 8 State Championships and getting recruited to run at the United States Military Academy.

Since graduating West Point, I've trained and coached many Soldiers in the United States Army, including those training for Ranger School, Special Forces Assessment and Selection, or just striving to be the best versions of themselves.

Now I'm the Business Managment Developer and Assistant Coach on a Professional Running Team in NYC called Empire Elite Track Club. The men and woman on our team are training to be the fastest in the World and Coach Trautmann is Einstien when it comes to running. Learning from a coach who is not only an Olympian himself but who has also guided athletes to the Olympic Trials and World Championships has profoundly expanded my understanding of running, refining my approach to both training and performance.

If you’re serious about taking running to the next level, I’m your guy.

Together we'll build:

• Smart, structured training – focusing on progressive overload, injury prevention, and peak performance at the right time.
• Mental toughness & discipline – the ability to push through when others break.
• A bulletproof race strategy – You can't just be fit, you've got to know how to win.

HOW I HELP

Most runners are training wrong – not because they’re lazy, but because they don’t have a system that actually works.

High school teams? Most just copy and paste the same workouts every year, or make up workouts on the spot that don't make any sense. Online plans? Too generic and don’t adjust to your needs. YouTube advice? Inconsistent and not tailored to your goals.

I’ve helped runners PR by over a minute in the 5K, cut 30+ seconds off their mile, and go from average runners to some of the most competitive.

And to prove I don’t just talk the talk, I built Mazzei Momentum—a system based on science, experience, and results.
