An Online Running Coach Who Only Does Half Marathons

Why I coach half marathons, specifically

At my third half marathon, in Lisbon, I hit the wall completely and missed my goal time. Looking back, it wasn't one big mistake, it was three smaller ones stacked together: fueling I hadn't practiced, strength work I'd skipped all block, and a race pace I picked with my ego instead of my training data.

Fixing those three things is what took me from that race to a 1:23:45 personal best. It's also what most half marathon training plans get wrong: they're either a marathon plan with the back half deleted, or a generic app that doesn't know your race is 21.1km and not 42.2km or 5km. The half marathon has its own pacing logic, its own fueling window, its own taper. That specificity is the whole job.

What working with me actually looks like

RunLetters Half Marathon Coaching is built as a real coach, not an app: a personalized plan that adjusts as your training actually goes, live group sessions twice a week for strength and mobility, direct coach access through messaging and forum responses, and monthly webinars on nutrition, pacing, and mindset. Everything syncs to your watch through Final Surge from day one. No sales call, no lengthy contract.
