Custom Running Training Plans From Expert Coaches

Built Around You, Not a Template

A training plan on the V.O2 Marketplace starts with your current fitness, goal race, and available training time, then gets built by a real coach using individualized VDOT training paces - the system developed from the research of Dr. Jack Daniels, a two-time Olympic medalist and exercise scientist. Unlike a generic download, it's designed for your body and your calendar from day one. You'll know exactly what each workout is for, how the plan progresses, and how your coach adjusts paces as your fitness improves or life gets in the way.

Every Distance, Every Experience Level

From first-time 5K runners to marathoners chasing a Boston qualifier, coaches on the marketplace publish their specialties, pricing, and coaching philosophy so you can find the right fit before you buy.

Get Your Custom Plan

Filter by distance, specialty, and budget, then message a coach directly to start a training plan built specifically for your goal.

FAQ

A calculator gives you a static number; a coach applies VDOT paces to a full plan that progresses over weeks and adjusts as your fitness, schedule, and feedback change - a calculator can't do that.

Dr. Jack Daniels: a two-time Olympic medalist and exercise scientist named "The World's Best Running Coach" by Runner's World. Every training plan on the marketplace is built from his individualized pacing research.

V.O2 Certified coaches have passed an 80-question exam authored by Dr. Jack Daniels, scoring 80% or higher. It's optional and sits alongside USATF and RRCA as one of three credentials shown on profiles.

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.
