Marathon Training Plans From Expert Coaches

A Structured Plan for the Toughest Distance

A marathon training plan built on individualized VDOT paces - developed from the research of Dr. Jack Daniels, a two-time Olympic medalist and exercise scientist - takes the guesswork out of long-run pacing, tempo effort, and taper timing. Your coach calibrates every workout to your current fitness so the plan gets you to the start line trained, not overtrained. You'll see your full build week by week, from base mileage through peak long runs to taper, with clear guidance on why each phase matters.

From First Marathon to Boston Qualifier

Coaches on the marketplace specialize across the full range of marathon goals. Filter by specialty to find one who's guided runners through your exact situation, whether that's a finish-line goal or a BQ attempt.

Start Your Marathon Plan
