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.
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.
Compare coaches, read reviews from athletes who've actually trained with them, and message one directly to build a plan around your goal time.
