Sub-3 needs a coach, not a template
Coach Stazza builds the road around you with one-to-one online coaching, Final Surge sessions and check-ins that keep the plan honest. You log sessions and notes; Stazza reads them and adjusts. Life comes first. We do not promise a finish time; we promise a process built for you.
What you get
- Profile, assessment and a consult of about 30 minutes.
- A personalised roadmap of blocks, recovery and race preparation.
- Purposeful workouts, weekly and monthly check-ins.
Who this is for
Runners with a clear sub-3 ambition. There is no minimum pace; readiness is discussed in the consult. See online marathon coaching or Boston qualifier coaching.
Proof, not promises

Questions runners ask
No. Coaching builds the process; race day is still yours.
Yes. Coach Stazza has coached more than 950 sub-three-hour marathons, and every plan is built one-to-one around your current fitness, history and life. Readiness and a realistic timeline are discussed on the consultation.
It depends on where you start, your history and how you absorb training, so no honest coach can promise a date. Stazza builds Foundation first, then adds the race-specific work, and reviews progress with you every week and month.
