This is my 2nd time using a plan from Awesome Coach Steve. The first time around, the plan guided me to exceeding my goal in my first 140.6 distance. As someone who has experienced his fair share of injuries, I was thrilled that this plan kept me injury free! Other important points:
– Coach Steve has always responded promptly to any questions that I have had about the plan
– A wide range of plans to fit anyone's starting point and time availability
– Swim Videos included
– Value for your $$$
This is to thank Steven Moody /Smart endurance solutions for my training plan which has got me across the finish line at Ironman Lanzarote in one piece, yesterday. This has been a bucket-list event for me since I first saw this statue at Puerto del Carmen promenade a few months after my first sprint triathlon. And to cap it off, I got a place for Ironman women’s world championships in September
The plan prepared me perfectly for my first full distance triathlon and meant I was able to complete it quicker than I could possibly imagine. The videos that come with it and are on the YouTube channel are fantastic extra information. I would definitely recommend these plans for anyone!
I used a combination Coach Steve’s Beginner 22 week and 46-week plan in my attempt at the first full distance triathlon. I followed the plan 90% of the time and made sure those long ones on the weekend were completed. I took the recovery weeks in the plan seriously. Even if i felt great, i avoided the temptation to go out for a short run or bike. On race day, I am happy to report, i completed the race with a lot of energy to spare. Thank you Coach Steve!
I used your plan for Cork last year and was so happy with it.
I sent your plan on to two friends in Tralee so they signed up also
I completed the full-distance last Sunday, August 13. My time was 14:18.16.
Thank you for helping me accomplish this goal of mine. Also, through training for this, I learned how much I love cycling and I hope to participate in some cycling races in the near future.
P.S. I really enjoy your youtube videos
Hi Steve,
Just wanted to say thanks for your advanced Oly training program I enjoyed it and used it for my race this weekend (1500 m lake / 28 mi bike / 10 K run). Fun getting back into it, even if a little more effort beating the “young bucks” now that I am 50 years young/old!

Your plan really assisted me in my training. I especially enjoyed the fact that the workouts loaded to my Garmin watch and then told me what Zone to be in. The drag-and-drop calendar was great helping to move sessions around.
My fitness improved dramatically, and I lost 26lbs in weight which was an achievement in itself!
I feel a bit cheated (with cancelled swim) as I cant really say I have done a HALF DISTANCE but enjoyed the training and would definitely recommend
Really enjoyed your half marathon plan so I’ve bought your 20-week full marathon plan for Dublin – going to be great!
Really appreciate your training plans by the way. See steady progress with them, and have fun, so thanks!
Your Training Plan which I followed was fantastic and with a little patience, I could feel myself getting stronger as time passed since late January.
Your Youtube video regarding tapering was true to a tee – I fully expected and experienced the niggling doubts in the few days up to race day, particularly as I hadn’t tested myself competitively recently, but when the curtain raised, everything went exactly to plan and the training kicked well into action
I jumped into triathlon after not having done hardly any exercise for over a decade. I did a sprint to see if this was something I liked and I did. I signed up for a IMHALF DISTANCE and immediately bought Steve's HALF DISTANCE plan. I quickly saw progress with his extremely well structured plan and finished feeling great. Had it not been for Steve's plan I would have struggled to train and definitely would not have been able to finish like I did. I'm buying his IM plan and continuing on to the next level. Thanks!
