Your race-day blueprint
Pacing zones, fueling math, race-day execution scripts — free for half-marathon, marathon, 70.3, and Ironman.

Angela Naeth Coaching • Free Resource

Race-day pacing, fueling, and execution — mapped out mile by mile for every distance we coach.

Four free playbooks. Real physiology. The same frameworks our coached athletes use.

Half
Marathon
Marathon 70.3 Ironman

These aren't training plans. They're the language of racing — the physiology, pacing strategy, fueling math, and execution cues that turn fitness into a fast finish time.

Every playbook is built on the same four ANC coaching pillars: aerobic first, inside-out first, repeatable before harder, and trust what you've built. They're free, they're comprehensive, and they're yours to keep.

What's inside each playbook

  5 engine landmarks — LT1, aerobic crossover, CS/CP, sVO2max, anaerobic battery
  Full zone tables anchored to your Critical Speed / Critical Power
  Pacing triangulation — HR, pace, power, and RPE working together
  Fueling & hydration math — carb targets, sodium ranges, gut-training guidance
  Workout toolkit — easy, threshold, race-pace, VO2max, and strength sessions
  Green / Yellow / Red daily readiness check-in
  Race-week taper, race-morning choreography, and aid-station planning
  Mile-by-mile execution cues with pace, power, HR & RPE targets

Why give this away?

Athletes who understand the science make better decisions — on race day and in training. The playbooks are the foundation. Coaching is what makes it personal: daily adaptive plans, real-time feedback, and someone who knows your numbers.
