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.
