Daniel Reyes

Daniel Reyes writes about fitness, cars, and sports for AlphaMode. He spent twelve years as a staff and contributing writer at men's-interest and motoring magazines, covering everything from amateur marathon training programs to long-haul truck reviews to the politics of national football leagues. Before journalism he ran two seasons of triathlon coaching out of a community gym in his hometown, which is where the writing instinct came from — every athlete he coached eventually asked the same questions about gear, training blocks, and recovery, and the published answers were either gym-bro nonsense or sponsor-friendly fluff.

His fitness coverage leans on protocols he has used himself, with sources from the strength-and-conditioning research literature and trainers who have actually programmed for athletes at any level above casual. The car beat is hands-on too: Daniel takes cars on the routes the manufacturer's PR people would prefer he didn't — long highway slogs, real road-trip distances, terrible coffee at 3 a.m. petrol stations — and reports what the dashboard does when no one is watching. Sports coverage is the smaller third of his beat: features and longform on athletes, teams, and the strange culture around watching grown men compete.
