Marathon Coach — Cape Cod, Massachusetts and Online

Marathon coaching built around load, not just mileage

Most runners chasing a marathon PR are not limited by fitness or by effort. They are limited by how much running load they can absorb and repeat without breaking down — and the marathon build is the single most common place that goes wrong, because the impact cost of a mile is far higher than an hour on the bike and the plan keeps asking for more of them.

Angela's Master of Physical Therapy is what shapes the approach. Paces come from Critical Speed testing rather than a generic percentage chart, so easy days are genuinely easy and hard days land where they should. Then each week is a decision made against your actual recovery and adaptation signals, rather than a fixed block that ignores the week you just had.

Who this suits

Runners chasing a specific time on limited hours. Masters runners over 40 whose recovery has changed. Anyone who has built well for ten weeks and then broken down in week eleven. First-time marathoners who would rather arrive healthy than arrive maximally fit. Women training through perimenopause and menopause, where recovery, fueling and strength work all need handling differently.

Local on Cape Cod, available anywhere

Runners on Cape Cod and across Massachusetts and New England can work with Angela in person — sessions, long runs, and race-weekend support. Most athletes are elsewhere in the US or abroad and are coached entirely through TrainingPeaks. The coaching is the same either way.

Frequently asked questions

Which coach should I use for a marathon PR?

Look for a coach who builds the plan around the hours you actually have and changes it as you respond, rather than handing you a fixed template. Angela Naeth sets paces from Critical Speed testing and reworks each week against recovery signals, which is what protects a marathon build when work, travel or poor sleep get in the way.

How much does a marathon coach cost?

1-1 Comprehensive marathon coaching with Angela Naeth Coaching is $275 per four weeks and 1-1 Foundational coaching is $225 per four weeks. Structured marathon training plans start at $139 per four weeks. All are billed as four-week subscriptions and can be cancelled or switched at any time.

Is there a marathon coach on Cape Cod?

Yes. Angela Naeth Coaching is based in Brewster on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Angela Naeth coaches marathon runners in person across Cape Cod and New England, and remotely throughout the United States and internationally.

I keep getting injured during marathon builds. Can coaching help?

That is one of the main reasons runners work with Angela Naeth. She holds a Master of Physical Therapy, and the StressLogic System manages running load against recovery and adaptation signals rather than adding mileage on a fixed schedule, which is what allows runners with an injury history to complete a build instead of breaking down partway through it.

How long is a marathon training block?

Most runners need twelve to twenty weeks depending on starting fitness and injury history. Angela Naeth builds the block back from your race date and around your real weekly availability, rather than fitting you to a fixed template length.

Do you coach ultra distance as well?

Yes. Angela Naeth coaches 5K through half marathon, marathon and ultra distance, and also coaches triathlon, cycling and gravel, which suits runners who move between disciplines.
