I started in September with a training program of 14 weeks with 5 sessions per week. I followed everything as faithfully as possible and learned a lot from it. I already knew that I enjoyed variety, but there were some new training forms in there for me. I also found out that training at a very low heart rate really works.
I crossed the finish line in 2:07:26. Definitely a successful weekend.
Just finishing up your 8 week triathlon specific S&C plan – in previous seasons I always tended to end up injured when the running volume built up due to weak claves … but this year – before the real intense stuff starts – must admit I am feeling almost bullet proof – thank you Coach S
I’m truly impressed with what the plan has done for me, and I really want to thank you for it!
Thanks for your help in identifying a plan to prepare for FULL DISTANCE Cork, found it brilliant and really useful to give me the structure I needed.
Looking forward to race day
I'm loving the plan so far!!!
Vancouver triathlon (olympic) was today for me with a PB, despite being with minimal sleep and training in the past 40 days (baby was born)! I haven't received the results yet but I am happy with the experience and my performance! Felt good passing some people with Team Canada jerseys on that bike! Thanks again Coach Steve for the support!
I went from zero triathlon experience to completing a sub 6 hour HALF DISTANCE Iron man following the BEGINNER HALF DISTANCE 30 week plan. I found the base weeks great and then could see my performance really start improving in the build weeks. Easy to follow and adequate rest
I never thought I would have done the FULL DISTANCE. The full distance plan made it easy. Steve is very experienced and knowledgeable, and can help anyone work through any hurdles as they train.
Just started on a HALF DISTANCE training plan after 5 yrs of sprint and Olympic distances. So far loving the plan but more than that within 48hrs of buying the plan already had a conversation with Steve to modify my plan to accommodate my cycling commute – so responsive and so reassuring to know I’m not over / under doing the training but can still cycle to work – Thanks, Steve!
Coach Steve’s plan was perfect for me – not only did it help me ease back into training after an injury – it helped me hit a new PB four years after my last!
So now am plotting my next race with more confidence than I have had for years – thanks CS
I completed Ironman Thun! Final time of 13:04 and was an exceptional experience. I felt great, my legs stayed with me and could not be more thrilled.
Thanks again for the help with the plan and tips along the way.
Letting you know I really enjoyed the marathon training plan. The workouts pushed me, but weren’t too much and I really enjoyed the progression over the course of the plan. This was my first marathon and ended up running a 3:11. I’m happy with the time, but ready to keep improving.
