Shannon Siragusa was kind enough to let us share her feedback as she follows her custom Jack Daniels’ 15-week Marathon Plan on VDOT O2. We loved her comments because Jack’s methodology with VDOT is to find the max benefit for the least amount of stress on the body. We know someone is training properly when they allude to the fact that the workouts are hard but doable.
Jim Partridge showcasing his new coaching certificate after attending Dr. Jack Daniels’ VDOT O2 Coaching Clinic:
“I attended the VDOT 02 course in Oakland (8/8/15) and just finished the exam. This course was great! It reinforced many concepts and taught me even more. Well worth the investment & time.”

The Running Jones (@TheRunningJones) wrote up a great review of our new training calendar VDOT O2. We’re excited to be part of his journey back into marathon shape after “10 years of of pizza, cheeseburgers, and ice cream.”
I’ve referred to the Daniels Running Formula book for years, but it’s a completely different experience to have a training plan that was designed by Dr. Jack Daniels and custom-tailored for me by the coaches at The Run SMART Project. I don’t have to be the expert. My entire Jack Daniels 15-Week Marathon training schedule, including my goal race, is loaded right into the VDOT O2 App.
Until yesterday, I could not see myself running a full marathon. I’ve run five marathons, but the last one was ten years ago. Yesterday I felt like I took a quantum leap in fitness. I ran my entire twelve miles at an average of 9:10 per mile, slightly faster than my target pace of 9:14. I had to keep myself from going too fast. I didn’t stagger in on dead legs a few minutes per mile slower than when I started as I had done on my last few long runs, which were at least a mile shorter than this one. Yesterday I could finally see myself running a full marathon.

Last year our team began the arduous process of developing a custom login training app – VDOT O2 – which is also the new platform for our online coaching services. During that process we dug deep and decided it was time to rebrand. Today, we are thrilled to finally share the latest updates with you.
A Fresh New Look
We’re bringing in the new year with a sleek new look thanks to the almighty Sascha Mombartz! We apologize to any longtime Run SMART fans now suffering from whiplash upon seeing the new homepage! It’s a big change but what we’re attempting to do is quite the undertaking.
