Why He Loves VDOT

For the past 17 years, Daniels’ Running Formula has been the driving force behind my personal running and coaching career. Its training principles, as well as the concepts of different training intensities and VDOT values, have dramatically increased my knowledge of the sport of running. Plus, they are easy to communicate. I have always felt that it was important that the athletes understand why they are doing a particular run or workout on any given day, and the formula does just that. It really helps them buy into their training and have the confidence that if they put the time and effort in, they will see results.

With the advent of VDOT Coach I am able to take my individual and team coaching to an entirely new level. The app provides me with all the resources I need to accurately track and easily modify my athletes’ training plans. It saves me a tremendous amount of time each day by automatically calculating training paces and providing the athletes I coach with the ability to monitor their progress. I am also able to save workouts and assign them to individuals at a later date. I continue to be impressed and excited about the opportunities and developments of the VDOT O2 app. I look forward to many years of continued running and coaching success using this platform.
