Marathon Coaches in the United States

Trained for Boston Qualifiers and First-Timers Alike

The US marathon calendar spans everything from major-city races to small-town qualifiers for Boston. Coaches based in the United States build marathon plans on individualized VDOT training paces - developed from the research of Dr. Jack Daniels, a two-time Olympic medalist and exercise scientist - with direct knowledge of US qualifying standards, race logistics, and training conditions across regions. Whether you're chasing a BQ time or running your first 26.2, a US-based coach adjusts your plan as your fitness changes and walks you through race-week strategy.

Credentials You Can Check

Many coaches hold USATF or RRCA certifications or are V.O2 Certified, and every review on a profile was written by an athlete who actually purchased that coach's services - so track records are real, not claimed.

Find Your Marathon Coach

Compare specialties and client reviews, then message a US-based marathon coach directly to start training.
