It was my first HALF DISTANCE with a few Sprints and 1 Olympic already done. Found the plan easy to follow and any questions I had were promptly answered. Highly recommend

Completed my first Ironman in Hamburg on 2nd June 2024….what an awesome experience. A massive thankyou to coach Steve and smart endurance solutions for all the advice and quick replies to emails in the last 6 months. The beginner programme was great and really helped me to achieve this bucket list goal. If you can dream it…you can achieve it 💯

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

I’m a few weeks into your 44-week advanced training program and I’m really enjoying all of the training sessions.

Coach Steve – I can’t thank you enough for the plan and supporting info. I also follow you on YouTube and your advice and coaching has proved so valuable. The plan was a perfect balance with everyday life, I have learned a huge amount training under your coaching. Not only that but I can actually swim (effectively) now!

Have been using your intermediate 24 week marathon plan and ever since I have embraced your zone based system of training – I am already seeing benefits – my avg HR is down 5 beats on my long runs and I am still able to run 8 min miles really comfortably – excited to see how much more I can improve – I will let you know!!!

I was lucky enough to be selected to trial the PB Hit squad with Coach Steve. Initially, I was blown away by the quality/energy of the Zoom calls and have learned a lot in a short time! Based on the direction of CS – I have also switched plans to a much better fit for me and have my HR zones dialed in! Already put in the request for Coach to sign me up post-trial – I need this to get through my first FULL DISTANCE!

Smart Endurance Solutions Made me an FULL DISTANCE 2018!!!
Didn’t have to think about a thing! Followed the plan and the rest follows! QED

Was delighted to see what improvements your 24 week Inter Oly plan had earned me – was touch and go for a while to see if the race would go ahead – but man, when it did … I was not disappointed = 2 min PB on the swim, 14 PB on the bike and 5 mins on my run … felt strong the entire way (ok maybe not in the last 2km of the run … LOL)

Thank you so much for this breakthrough result … more to come next race season methinks! I will be in touch Coach Steve

This is my first time using a Coach’s training plan, the plan is easy to understand and structured which helps a lot for my novice brain. Really enjoying it so far and quite surprised at how responsive Steve is to queries and resolving any issues. I have a feeling I will be coming back to Steve after my first HALF DISTANCE to work on my next one

Thank you so much for the great training plan! I did complete my Olympic race, faster than I thought I would. And I completed the entire 70.3 training plan and absolutely loved it. I feel fitter than I ever have and am going to continue in triathlon. I’ve also got a half marathon booked for Nov 1st!

Thank you so much,

Ronan

Finished with a 6:09 and change. I was really happy with it overall.

Appreciate all your help along the way!
