12–18 week planGeneric plans ignore the data that matters most. Our algorithm creates plans based on real-world performance analytics and peer-reviewed sports science.
Elevation profiles, temperature ranges, humidity levels, and finish time distributions for 40+ marathons. Your plan trains you for the exact conditions you'll face.
Age, fitness level, heart rate zones, and training history are processed through physiological models to determine your optimal training loads and recovery periods.
Statistical analysis of 50,000+ marathon performances predicts your optimal race strategy — including when to push, when to conserve, and mile-by-mile target splits.
Training phases calculated based on your timeline, with automatic adjustments for taper timing, peak mileage, and intensity distribution using sports science research.
"The course-specific hill training made all the difference at Boston. I ran the Newton Hills feeling strong instead of dreading them. Negative split the second half and PR'd by 4 minutes."
"For $19, the amount of detail you get is absurd. Heart rate zones, weekly schedule, race-day fueling plan, pacing splits — it would take me hours to piece this together from free resources."
"I used a generic Pfitz plan for my first two marathons and blew up both times in the second half. The Pace Perfect plan had me run Boston conservatively through mile 16, then I passed 200+ people in the final 10K."
The quality of a personal coach at a fraction of the cost. The specificity that generic plans can't offer.
