More about Coach Neil — and how he builds your plan

I'm Neil Davis — a 2:29 marathoner who's been running and studying the marathon for decades. Every Pace Perfect plan is built by hand: I read your race history, your injuries, your schedule, and the course itself, then write the plan around them. And when you reply to your plan email, you're emailing me — not a bot or a support queue.
