• Seeking Pace Advice for NYC Marathon - Conflicting Predictions

  According to online predictors recommended on this sub like vdoto2.com, my marathon time should be approximately 3:38 based on a half marathon time of around 1:45. However, there's another predicting website, metathon.com, that analyzes several weeks of your training data from Strava to calculate an estimated race pace. For me, it suggests a 3:50 finish time.

• Garmin coach like marathon plan

  My wife's coach uses the VDOT platform for loading workouts on her watch. They chat via SMS to align on the training plan (and scheduling around work), then the coach sends the workouts to her watch seamlessly. It's almost exactly like the Garmin coach but with the benefit of a live coach who will adjust based on training/life needs. Source: almost 2 years ago
