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.
