Ultra Marathon Coaching for Everything Beyond 26.2

Where Pace Charts End and Experience Matters

Ultras are decided by fueling, terrain strategy, time on feet, and pacing discipline as much as raw fitness. Ultra-focused coaches on V.O2 build your block around the demands of your specific event - distance, elevation, terrain, and cutoffs - with individualized VDOT training paces from the research of Dr. Jack Daniels, a two-time Olympic medalist and exercise scientist, as the aerobic foundation. Your coach shapes long-run structure, back-to-back sessions, and recovery as the block unfolds, and you can message them directly when the plan needs to flex around life or a changed race calendar.

From First 50K to Hundred-Mile Territory

Whether you're stepping up from the marathon or deep into ultra distance racing, compare each coach's background, pricing, and reviews from athletes they've actually coached before you choose.

Find Your Ultra Coach

Filter by product type or price, message a coach about your target race before you commit, and start training with a plan built for the long stuff.

FAQ

VDOT sets your aerobic and easy-run paces, which form the foundation of an ultra build - your coach layers terrain, elevation, and time-on-feet strategy on top of that base rather than replacing it.

Dr. Jack Daniels: a two-time Olympic medalist and exercise scientist named "The World's Best Running Coach" by Runner's World. His aerobic pacing research is the foundation ultra coaches build on.

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.

Yes! All coaches on this page specialize in 15K, 3K, 1600m, 800m, and Ultra Marathon. You can further refine by speciality, product type, or language to find your ideal coach.

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.
