1st in AG at Goulburn Duathlon over the weekend!
Was feeling a little underdone on training due to illness, but had followed Coach Steve's plan as best I could.
Conditions were freezing and windy on the day, but a great feeling of accomplishment post race.

Used the “Marathon Intermediate 12 week plan – 40 – 70 km per week” and it brought me from a 4hr16 marathon to a 3hr25 marathon. Great plan and easy to follow. Volume is sufficient and not too much and therefore I managed to stay injury free.

Got an excellent (beginners) IM program off (Coach Steve) via Training Peaks: Easy to follow prescriptions for endurance, threshold, and higher intensity sessions across all three disciplines. It’s got comprehensive instructions for swim drills, stretching for before/after the bike, and how much (by duration) S+C work to thrown into the plan which is really useful as a novice.

The plan progressively banks up fitness and strength over the months – I can see my fitness improving gradually week on week and the built-in step-back weeks are helping stave off injury and fatigue. The plan has taken the guess-work out of my training so I’m getting consistently stronger and faster.

A GREAT investment and better value for $ than any of the tri gear/gadgets I’ve bought! Experience counts.

So Coach, the season is now done for me! I completed Outlaw X HALF DISTANCE on Sunday in a PB time of 5:13. My previous like for like was 5:36 in June 2019. So 2 years older and 23 minutes faster! Happy with that.

Hi Coach Steve,
I did the marathon in Paris and I did a 22’ pb 😊

Thanks for putting together this plan and all the support you have given.

Thanks,
Andi

Just wanted to reach out and let you know I’ve really enjoyed the plan… I have my first triathlon coming up this weekend at Mooloolaba which I’m looking forward.

I am really enjoying the HALF DISTANCE program!

I thought I would share my feedback.

The plan was great, the level of detail was perfect and all the additional info is a big help.

I appreciate the help, I’m looking at what one next abroad and I’ll be back for more. The plan gave me confidence so I’ll let you know once I book.

Loved this plan. Completed the sprint in the middle of the pack instead of back of the pack which I had done previously. Life changing having these goals in many ways. Steve is a dude and I can see myself doing a lot more of his 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!

Great program – simple and uncomplicated made it easier to squeeze in to a busy work schedule. Recovery day was great too – at 58 I find it so necessary to have a day to chill and recover. Thoroughly recommend.
Looking at my next training plan now with Coach Steve.

I recently purchased Coach Steve’s FULL DISTANCE training plan from Training Peak. Steve was very quick to respond and extremely helpful in getting up and running. So far, It has been a great experience working with Steve and following his plan.
