Half Marathon Coaching That Closes the Gap Between 5K Speed and Marathon Endurance
The Distance Where Pacing Discipline Wins
The half marathon rewards runners who can hold a hard, sustainable effort for 13.1 miles, not just raw speed or raw endurance. Coaches on V.O2 use the VDOT methodology to calculate your threshold and tempo paces from real fitness data - the individualized training-pace system from two-time Olympic medalist and exercise scientist Dr. Jack Daniels - then build a plan that trains the specific energy systems the half marathon demands. Whether you're targeting a sub-90-minute breakthrough or your first half, a coach adjusts your workouts as your fitness changes, so your training stays accurate all the way to race week.
Training Plan or Private Coaching, Your Choice
Some runners want a structured plan they can follow independently; others want a coach reviewing every workout and adjusting as they go. Marketplace coaches offer both, so you can choose the level of support that matches your goals and budget.
Start Your Half Marathon Build
Compare coaches, read reviews from athletes who've actually trained with them, and message one directly to build a plan around your goal time.
FAQ
The half marathon sits between the two: it demands more sustained threshold and tempo work than a 10K, but without the marathon's long-run mileage. Coaches build your VDOT paces specifically around that mix, rather than scaling a marathon or 10K plan up or down.
Dr. Jack Daniels: a two-time Olympic medalist and exercise scientist named "The World's Best Running Coach" by Runner's World. His threshold and tempo pace research is exactly what half marathon training draws on.
V.O2 Certified coaches have passed an 80-question exam authored by Dr. Jack Daniels, scoring 80% or higher. It's optional and sits alongside USATF and RRCA as one of three credentials shown on profiles.
First, look for coaches with experience in your target distance, relevant specialities, and positive reviews. Or, search for coaches by location, product type, and price. Once you’ve narrowed your search, read the coaching bios to ensure the coach is the right fit for you. You can also message coaches directly to ask about their approach and whether they're a good fit for your goals.
Yes! All coaches on this page specialize in Half Marathon. You can further refine by speciality, product type, or language to find your ideal coach.
