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.

Find Your Triathlon Run Specialist

Compare coach backgrounds and reviews from other triathletes they've actually coached, then message a specialist directly to talk through how run training fits your overall race plan.

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.

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! These coaches specialize in Boston Marathon and Triathlons and are experienced in helping runners with these specific needs. Check individual profiles for more details about their coaching philosophy and approach.

Online coaches on V.O2 provide personalized training plans, feedback via messaging, phone calls and/or in-app commenting, and progress tracking without requiring in-person meetings. Most adjust your plan based on your weekly feedback and performance.

Most coaches on the V.O2 Marketplace encourage you to message them with questions before purchasing. This helps you evaluate fit and ensures they're the right choice for your goals and timeline. Otherwise, please email us at info@vdoto2.com and we’ll help you match with the right coach.
