McVick,
I gave myself some personal benchmarks to make sure I was committed & it was worth the money (not missing runs, running after overnight shifts & that sort of stuff).
Once I hit those I knew I didn't need a motivator , I needed someone who knew the science and logic behind long term programming.
I also wanted someone to teach me since I'm fascinated behind the "why".
I found a bunch of coaches around me and started eliminating by their website, price, and other items.
Dialed it down to three and had phone consultations.
Fyi, posted my email to one of your runs, I'll forward you a much longer explanation I shared with another runner.

YGM. Thanks. If you want you can delete your post on my run.
I'd like to prepare for another marathon. I trained and completed my first one 2019, but I know I can improve my time. Qualifying for Boston isn't realistic at this point, but I'd like to be somewhere between 3:30 and 4:00. I'm pretty consistent being under 2 hours for a half, and in race conditions my PR is 1:43.
I'll probably need to train alone, as I live about 45 minutes from a recognizable city. Hill work isn't problem and I have easy access to a track, but living in the snowbelt will limit my miles at least through most of April, so maybe a late Spring or Summer in-person race would be my target.
