Ep 28: The Day I Caught Coolio... and a Rare Moth | Dan Creeber

2026-04-14

In 2015, Dan Creeber was truly out of shape.

A holiday in Majorca became a turning point...and what started with a weekly parkrun soon turned into something much bigger. Fast forward to today, and Dan has logged over 10,000 kilometres, built a routine around running, and committed to completing a marathon every year “until he can’t.”

But his story isn’t just about miles.

In this uplifting episode of Runbelievable, Joshie sits down with Dan to talk about fatherhood, mental health, and the moments that change how you see everything. From the traumatic birth of his second child, to stepping away from work to reset, to quietly redefining his relationship with running... Dan’s journey shows how running can evolve from a habit into something far more meaningful.

This is a story about consistency, perspective, and learning when to push… and when to pause.

Dan and his wife Kim run a super cool boutique clothing brand called Rest Day:
