How it works

Pete Magill

Masters coach. Champion runner. Author.

For Pete Magill the running body is built before the speed is: varied aerobic work, easy days kept genuinely easy, and strength and plyometrics that injury-proof the legs. Durability first, and the speed lasts for decades.

Pete Magill is a masters distance coach, author and one of the most decorated masters runners in US history. He is a five-time USA Masters Cross Country Runner of the Year and the fastest American distance runner over 50 in the 5K and 10K, with age 50+ bests of 15:02 (5K), 31:11 (10K) and 1:10:19 (half marathon), and he has coached his running clubs to 19 USATF masters national championships in cross country and road racing.

He is the lead author of Build Your Running Body and the author of The Born Again Runner, SpeedRunner and Fast 5K, and a former senior writer and columnist for Running Times. Through Ottavia his approach is applied to your own training, recovery and meals, always with attribution.

How does it work?

Connect your wearable or log your runs, sleep and meals. Each morning Ottavia reads your recovery and your training, applies Pete Magill’s approach where it fits, and gives you one clear plan. Ask anything during the day; the answers use your own data.

What do I get with Pete Magill's subscription?

His published approach, applied by Ottavia to your own training, recovery and meals every day. You see where his work shaped a message, every time.

Why can't I get this from ChatGPT?

ChatGPT answers from general knowledge and forgets you between questions. Ottavia reasons from your actual data, every day, and applies a named expert’s published method with attribution. It is not advice about running in general; it is about your Tuesday run.

Is this medical advice?

No. Pete Magill guides and educates through Ottavia. He never diagnoses or prescribes.

Do I talk to Pete Magill directly?

No. Ottavia has read his published work and applies it inside your guidance. Your questions go to Ottavia; his thinking comes back in the answer, attributed.

What happens to my health data?

Your data stays in your Ottavia account and is used only to guide you. The third-party AI services Ottavia uses never learn who you are: they see the health context needed to answer you, never your name or contact details. Your data is never sold, never used to train AI models, and is deleted from those services when you delete your account.

Does Pete Magill see my data?

No. Experts contribute their methods to Ottavia; they never see individual users or their data.

Do I need a wearable?

Ottavia works best with Apple Watch, Garmin or Google Health. You can also log sleep, meals and workouts yourself.

What does it cost, and can I cancel?

The price is shown clearly before you subscribe. Manage or cancel anytime in the Experts hub; you keep access until the end of the period you paid for.
