Private Running Coaching, One-on-One With an Expert Coach
Direct Access to Your Coach, Every Step of the Way
Private coaching on V.O2 means a real coach reviewing your workouts, adjusting your plan as your training unfolds, and answering questions as they come up - not a static document you follow on your own. Training paces come from the VDOT methodology, the individualized training-pace system from two-time Olympic medalist and exercise scientist Dr. Jack Daniels, then get refined as your fitness and life change week to week. It's the closest thing to having a coach in your pocket: race-week strategy, adjustments around setbacks and niggles, and pacing feedback when you need it.
For Runners Who Want Accountability and Expertise
Whether you're returning from a layoff, chasing a specific qualifying time, or simply want expert eyes on your training, private coaching gives you a dedicated relationship with a coach who knows your history.
