Truly Personalized

Unlike most running apps, VDOT knows you. It understands the type of runner you are, what you're training for, and how to maximize your efforts. It also gives you more control over your training, leveraging your feedback to deliver real-time data which fine tunes your training and leads to continuous progression. With fully automated, truly personalized and highly-adaptive training, VDOT helps you achieve measurable improvement — all in an effort to make you the best runner you can be.

Intelligent Training

With a focus on training over tracking and coaching over running, VDOT offers access to the highest quality, Olympic-style training for runners of all levels-right from any mobile device. Designed to help runners train correctly and more intelligently, VDOT elicits maximum benefit while reducing the required effort. These high-quality workouts promote healthy, responsible, and beneficial sessions while simultaneously preventing overtraining.

Olympic Pedigree

V.O2 was built from the foundation of a scientifically-validated training methodology. Based on former Olympian, author, and legendary running coach Jack Daniels’ exercise science principles, the methodology not only benefits runners of all ages and abilities when it comes to improving their running fitness but it also serves as the best measure of running economy across a variety of runners and events, making it an ideal way to compare performances. High-school, college, Olympic and non-elite runners have all trained, ran, and succeeded with the VDOT methodology.

-”Dr. Jack Daniels has had a bigger influence on training-for-running than anyone. He might be considered the Albert Einstein of the sport." - Runner’s World Magazine

is a very good app if you are working with a coach. its very motivating and easy to use and seeing your progress as you go makes everything so much easier. sometimes there is trouble syncing data from your run. this sometimes makes it look like you haven't completed everything even if you have.

terrible. doesn't sync to Garmin. **EDIT**: After speaking with customer service, they were able to resolve the problem the same day! Customer service is great and they make the athlete a priority! Would give 1000 stars! The app has the ability to receive historical data and build workouts upon that, which is pretty innovative and seamless.

Hi William, V.O2 does sync with Garmin! If you're having any trouble with the 2 way sync, can you send us an email to info@vdoto2.com and we'll get you up and running?
