Running Coaches Who Specialize in Triathlon

Running Training That Fits Around Swim and Bike Work

Running is one leg of a triathlon training week, not the whole week - and it has to hold up on tired legs after the bike. Coaches who list Triathlons among their specialties understand how to fit VDOT-based run training around swim and bike sessions instead of prescribing a standalone running plan that ignores the rest of your schedule. Your run paces still come from the VDOT methodology - individualized training paces developed from the research of Dr. Jack Daniels, a two-time Olympic medalist and exercise scientist - calibrated to your current running fitness specifically, brick workouts and all.

From Sprint Distance to Ironman

Whether you're training for a local sprint triathlon or a full Ironman-distance run leg, a triathlon specialist tailors run volume and intensity to the demands of your specific race distance and the rest of your training load.

FAQ

This specialty reflects the coach's experience training triathletes, but V.O2 coaching itself is running-focused - a specialist builds your run training to work alongside whatever swim and bike plan you're following elsewhere.

It has to account for fatigue from swim and bike sessions and brick workouts, not just running volume on its own. A triathlon specialist calibrates your VDOT run paces with that broader training load in mind.

Dr. Jack Daniels: a two-time Olympic medalist and exercise scientist named "The World's Best Running Coach" by Runner's World. His individualized pacing research sets the run-specific paces triathlon coaches build around.
