First PB goal of the year achieved last weekend @ Inverness Half Marathon. Smashed 7 mins off last year’s PB to go just under 1:40 ….tough year ahead with the build but thanks again for the plan, everything headed in the right direction

Great plan! Gives you also excellent base fitness to participate half marathons and sub 5 hr cycling events.

I completed the San Francisco marathon a couple weeks ago and I owe you and your training plan a huge thanks for getting me ready! Thank you!

Even with a bad photo you can probably see that I was pretty relaxed finishing my very first FULL DISTANCE distance in a pretty decent time. While I was running people couldn’t believe how little I was sweating! Well that’s all down to the excellent training plan I followed to the letter ( Well as much as I could) from our very own Coach Steve. Thanks again Coach!

Hi Coach Steve,
I just finished my first Olympic-distance triathlon, and I’m very happy with the results. I finished the race in 3:03 and achieved personal bests in both the swim and the bike leg.
I’m going to enjoy this result for now, and then I’ll be looking forward to my next triathlon training block with you.
Best regards,
Clet

I found Steve’s training plan originally on training peaks, and have used these training plans to get me to FULL DISTANCE UK and FULL DISTANCE Portugal this year, Steve advice, experience and guidance enable me to finish FULL DISTANCE Portugal in a time that I could originally only dream of. Steve webinars on YouTube and really helped prepare for the races, preparing me for what to expect on race day, the training plan was easy to follow and gave me accountability ensuring I was ready for race day. Thank you

Thanks for a great plan I finished in 2:23h 38 – 59 – 41 min. The heat was a bit hard at the end of the run and have to improve my swimming but learned already a lot from your plan

I’m following one of your plans for my next IM, and loving it. Thanks!!

I recently purchased your Beginner Half Distance Plan (50 yrs+). First, I want to thank you for the well-structured plan—I’m already finding it highly motivating and easy to follow.

Thanks Steven @ SMart Endurance Solutions, this is a great plan well structured and easy to follow. I followed this plan missing the odd session here and there, but with the aid of proper nutrition I got new sprint PB and to make it even better i got a 5km run PB aswell in the same race.
I've been boosting to my friends about this. The Olympic will be my next adventure for a new PB.

Have loved reading the SMartEnduro Community updates and motivational stories over the past year. Have done a few sprints and Olympics during the season but waited until my A race to post. Firstly, thanks to coach Steve for setting out a progressive and challenging training programme. I won’t lie, I didn’t stick to it meticulously but it was great motivation when other things, covid, family, life, posed distractions!!

The Chevron Houston Marathon last Sunday January 11th went well.

I planned for a 3:20 marathon and was able to land a 3:20:04.

Thanks a lot, the 12-week plan helped a ton.

Actually it made the difference training/workout wise.
