Aloha! I'm Donald Robinson, Coach Donald to many. If you are a runner, athlete or just someone who wants to know how to train better and get more out of your hard work, this is for you. In a fun demeanor, with short stories to tell, you will learn the why, what, and how, of good training.
I own and operate Global Human Performance in Pittsburgh PA where I train a number of youth and adult runners, various sport athletes, and non athletes. I hold a Master's Degree in Exercise Science. I'm also a HS and club track and field coach.
Let's learn, have fun, and get better!

It's Probably Tendin-opathy Not -Itis w/ Sean Crandell DPT
Join my and my physical therapist, Sean Crandell as we talk about tendons, one of my favorite subjects.
Sean has helped me with ankle and knee issues and works with Nancy Foley who runs the practice he's at who has served many of our GHP members over the years.
On this show, I engage Sean about tendons and learned valuable lessons about the difference between tendinopathy, tendonitis, and tendinosis.
It's also a great refresher on the beauty of scientific discovery as well as its limitations. And that scientific discovery is really just a physical manifestation of philosophy.

On this episode I'm joined with Dan Lampmann of YRC - Yinz Run Club. I've had the privilege of running with YRC over the last year and have supported their runners with understanding running mechanics and strength training for longevity.
Dan & I have a fun conversation from his own sport background, to the founding of YRC, and the culture that's been curated at YRC.
It's a great listen in understanding how you truly create a remarkable community, lessons I want to even better use in my own business.
Tune in for a fun conversation.

Running for Art with Alyssa Chance
Join me on this episode with Alyssa Chance, a local runner here in Pittsburgh who runs everyday to view various artworks around the city.
Alyssa impressively amasses 80-100mile weeks consistently. So consistent, that in the last 2 years, she's only not hit 80+ miles per week, once.
Her commitment can be summarized by one line from her husband "so where are you running today?"
Tune in to an amazing story by someone who began running in her 30s and now runs 8-15 miles a day to see all of the amazing artwork around our city.
You can find her on Instagram @RunTheChance and on Strava as Alyssa Chance
