Thank you for a good skeleton that I could customize to my schedule and move sessions around as I needed. It was great and having access to the coach via email helped me out as well. Good plan for someone who has experience to base adjustments on. Thank you!
I started this program having never ran over 6 miles, longest bike was 30 miles. And no swimming. I lagged behind on the swim and running. My fault of course. I enjoyed having the structure of the workouts. I emailed the coach a few times and they are fast to answer any questions! The runs and bikes loaded into Garmin watch. Completed my first Olympic Tri. Would recommend these workouts plans.
Really found your training program invaluable as I prepped to do my first half marathon. It was a great experience on race day and I’ve got the bug!
As someone who needs structure to my training I found working with Steve invaluable. Constant feedback helped keep me focused and when I was unfortunate to pick up an injury we worked together to ensure training was back on track.
I just finished your Oly distance Aquabike training plan. I enjoyed it and my bike time improved 3:34 on the 40k!
I had been trying to beat my 5km Personal Best for a couple of years when I was recommended to contact Coach Steve about a training plan. I signed up for a 12 week plan and 4 weeks in I’ve already broken my PB. I’m excited now to see just how far I can go over the next 8 weeks. I would highly recommended Coach Steve if your serious about smashing your goals.
Thought I’d get in touch to say thanks. I bought your beginner programme a while back and followed it (mostly) and just competed croyde tri. Didn’t get the time I wanted – I really blew up on the run due to the heatwave- but did finish in the top half for my age category, which was my goal.
Anyway, just to say I thought your pregame was really good and exactly what I needed as a beginner!
My training for the Peach Classic Olympic distrance tri went very well. I felt so prepared and fit coming into my race thanks to following your training plan. I have never felt so ready and confident for a race. I ended up winning second in my age group, and as it was a provincial championship race, I got a podium moment, a medal, and a prize bottle of wine. I will definitely try another training plan next year!
I hope you have an amazing summer and thanks again for your great program!
I purchased your plan [Adv 48 week FULL DISTANCE] on Monday and wanted to let you know how pleased I am so far with the thought and detail that has gone into this plan
Just a quick note to say thank you very much for your training plan and advices.
I completed IM Barcelona on 3 October. I’m sure you’ve heard that the swim was cut short which was a pity. However, it was the toughest swim I have ever done. The bike proved harder than expected because of a head wind. I had been hoping for a 6 hour bike but did it in 6.30. The run went as well as I could have expected as I knocked about 20 minutes or so off my previous time.
Your training plan help keep me focussed, made me a fitter and more knowledgeable athlete. I’m looking for my next event now (maybe another middle distance or Olympic) but I will be back to buy a full distance programme later in the year!
Following a great training plan from smart endurance solutions, had a few queries about it and were answered extremely quickly and concisely with a friendly manner, highly recommended!!
Thanks again for your responses, its refreshing to speak to a coach who seems to care about what the athlete is purchasing
Track, analyze and plan on the web.
