Robinson has gathered a very consistent major championships marathon record, with only one disappointing performance in the last four years. Renowned for adopting conservative tactics, Robinson always comes on strong in the final 10km – at the 2005 World Champs, Dan was in 55th at halfway, before finishing 12th and in gruelling heat at the 2007 World Championships in Osaka, Robinson was 66th at 10km (33:03), 38th at halfway (69:36), before coming through to 11th, running very even splits, where he finished ahead of luminaries such as Hendrick Ramaala and Dejene Berhanu.
Robinson is a father of two and is a part-time PE teacher.
