VDOT Coach Has Transformed Our Coaching Services

Can’t say enough about how VDOT Coach has transformed our coaching services. Having the VDOT Calculator essentially built into this training calendar allows our coaches to save hours in a week when uploading training and tracking data. Now that it’s mobile we’re more responsive than ever to our athletes’ needs and able to make quicker adjustments to their training plans.

We’re excited to officially release VDOT Coach, a new coach management tool on the VDOT O2 app.

Designed by and for running coaches to help provide the most customized and responsive training experience possible for their athletes. – @VDOTO2

VDOT Certified Coach Shares Success Stories

Tim Jones, a newly VDOT Certified coach, got some incredible results this fall with his marathon clients. To be exact, “Six Athletes, Six PRs and Five BQs.”

Earlier this year, I volunteered to coach Tina, Karen, Chris, Mark, Natalie, and Cheryl for fall marathons. I delivered weekly workouts using the Run SMART Project VDOT Coach app and also posted the workouts on Facebook.

Run SMART Project provided the Jack Daniels’ Marathon Training Plan and we set individualized VDOT training paces for each athlete using the VDOT Running Calculator, which is embedded in VDOT Coach. Then we got down to some serious training. We did a lot of workouts and long runs together and it was a blast.

Read more about Tim and his athletes’ success on his blog The Running Jones.
