Hey Steve, Just to let you know, I used your off-season marathon and cross-training plan for the spring marathon ( I didn’t do much cross-training though) Race went well and got a new PB. Thanks

Found plans to be excellent. Daily feedback on sessions keeps me motivated. Big Improvements in FTP & running as a result of base work. Highly recommend coach Steve

Steve I’ve just completed Dublin City Marathon and the 16 week plan I got from you for it more than delivered. It was my first marathon and hit 3:35 which for someone who wouldn’t class themselves as a runner isn’t s bad start! The plan was very easy to follow and I know with my new targets in my head the plan will help to (hopefully) hit those too.

A great plan for an absolute beginner, got me over the line. I had never done a triathlon before and went from zero to HALF DISTANCE with the 28 week beginners plan.

Admittedly as a total beginner the plan can get hectic but it's easy to edit if you need to (e.g. due to illness or injury). I was very appreciative of the email access to Coach Steve because as a beginner I had a hape of questions and all were answered with great help given.

Reusing the plan for 2023. Bought the full IM plan for 2024!

Very attentive and interested in my progress while being realistic about adjustments needed around life happening – provided good structure and focus then backed it up with accountability

I am liking the strength training program for triathletes. I purchased it last week and it’s been a lot of fun

I just thought I would drop you a line to say thank you for your help in the build-up to my first FULL DISTANCE. It was a big big help having a structured plan to follow and it’s been a massive learning curve these last twelve months.
So I actually finished the damn thing, amazing really!!, was doubting myself a bit at the start line but I had a FANTASTIC day in Barcelona. It was an experience I think I will remember forever, and I enjoyed it so much I reckon I’m going back next year!!! 🙂 I’ve been well and truly bitten by the tri bug.

Hi Steve,

Just wanted to say thank you for your program!

Did my first half marathon on the weekend and managed to hit my goal of finishing in under 2 hours (3 months ago I wouldn’t have thought it possible).

Coach Steve has been coaching me this year, he has delivered a quality personalised training and recovery program that allows me to maintain a healthy work, life AND training balance. Steven is by far the most attentive coach I know. Feedback on sessions can be almost instant, there are times when there are comments coming in via TrainingPeaks or WhatsApp before I have realised a session has been uploaded. Most of all Steven’s enthusiasm and love for the sport comes through to his athletes, this makes all of the hardship fun.

I never would have guessed I would have placed, let alone come in first in my age group! 50-59 is a tough group of men, all trying to capture our youth 😂. Thanks @sm_endurance_solutions for the coaching plan

Delighted with my recent half-marathon result considering the lead-in and the lack of speed sessions

I really enjoyed the structure and I’ve already bought one of your 20-week plans for the Dublin marathon so that starts mid-June

Just finished racing Muncie 70.3 yesterday, and prepped using your 20 week training plan – thanks!
Your plan kept me much more motivated than my 2023 Sandusky 70.3 self-made plan, and this year I logged many more hours than 2023.
Thanks again for the plan and all the extra content you put out to help athletes prepare!
