Half Marathon Training Plans Built on Real Fitness Data
Threshold Pace Is the Whole Game
A half marathon plan built on the VDOT methodology targets the specific threshold and tempo work the distance demands, with paces calibrated from your current fitness rather than a generic chart - the individualized approach developed from the research of Dr. Jack Daniels, a two-time Olympic medalist and exercise scientist. That precision is what separates a breakthrough race from a fade at mile 10. Your coach builds the full progression - base mileage, tempo blocks, race-pace work, and taper - and adjusts paces as your fitness improves.
For Every Goal, From Finishing to a PR
Whether this is your first half marathon or you're chasing a specific time, coaches publish their specialties and pricing so you can find the right plan for your goal.
Get Your Plan
Compare coaches and reviews from athletes they've actually trained, then message one directly to start.
