A coach in your corner, all the way to the line.
The marathon is what we're built for: the right work, put where it counts, and a coach who tells you why.
The marathon is a specialist event, and we’re built for it.
42.195 km has its own physiology, its own pacing, its own ways of coming undone. Most marathon plans are any-distance plans trimmed to fit. Ours begins and ends with the one event, and with the runner training for it.
- Built for the marathon, every week of it.
- The right work, not more of it.
- Paces and effort from your real running.
- A coach who teaches you the why.
- Recovery and sleep, treated as training.
The marathon rewards the right work, repeated, not heroics.
The things that move your time are not dramatic. Consistency over months does most of the work, and the sessions that look like the race do the rest. Ten principles sit behind every plan we write, grouped into the three you see here.
The work that counts
What the training actually looks like. The sessions that earn your time, and the junk you can cut.
What makes it last
The quiet things the whole plan rests on. Sleep, fuelling and recovery, coached on purpose.
The runner you become
The reason any of it is worth doing. A runner who reads their own running and needs a coach less.
Straight answers from your running.
Turn one recent run into the numbers that matter: what you can race, how to pace it, and how to fuel it. Free, and no account needed.
Know the course before you run it.
Free, course-aware pacing for the world’s great marathons: the real elevation, grade-adjusted splits for your goal time, an adjustment for the weather you’re likely to race in, and a coach’s read on where the race is won or lost.
To me, coaching is teaching. I help you understand your own training and learn to read your own running, so the day comes when you barely need me.
Your next marathon starts with one honest look.
