Triathlon, October 2019

Better results with your plan I would like to thank all the team that help me to achieve my goals. I have been training for 4 years by my self and only getting a fifth-place as my best result on those 4 years.
This year I train with you and I am very happy to tell you on my 3 competitions this year I get 3rd Veracruz and 3rd San Luis and in my last one I get a second place at Cozumel all in Mexico

Thank you all and I will continue my training with you next year

Best regards

An amazing and manageable plan that took 4 mins off my half marathon PB... fantastic!! Having done a few halfs, tris, and a marathon before, this time I wanted to beat my PB but knew I would struggle to fit more than 4 sessions a week on top of a hectic work/family life. Phil suggested the beginner plan simply for number of sessions, and it worked out perfectly. The runs are well structured each week, with a perfect balance of an achievable increase in effort vs. pushing yourself harder and longer. I will definitely be using MyProCoach workouts in the future and recommend them to anyone. Thank you, I am super pleased with the outcome!! - 14 Oct 2019

Thanks for the directions Fast.
Clear.
Very helpful. Wow.
One of the best email support I have ever experienced. I would recommend my friends and family just based on the email support.

Keep up the good work! - 10 Oct 2019

Ironman Chattanooga, October 2019

Great Plan Coach Phil,

I used one of your Ironman training programs and was able to complete my first full Ironman this weekend at Chattanooga. Unfortunately, the race was not how I had planned it. On mile 20 of the bike, my aerobar pad snapped off the bracket and I had to ride upright or in twisted aero position with one of my forearms on the handlebar. I was able to complete the bike in a decent time (certainly not what I was shooting for though). Unfortunately, the uneven aero position led to horrible back spasms during the run requiring an awful... >> read moreCoach Phil,

On mile 20 of the bike, my aerobar pad snapped off the bracket and I had to ride upright or in twisted aero position with one of my forearms on the handlebar. I was able to complete the bike in a decent time (certainly not what I was shooting for though). Unfortunately, the uneven aero position led to horrible back spasms during the run requiring an awful lot of walking. I was able to finish though and so I wanted to thank you for your program and all the advice. Next time I hope it goes smoother. Feel better!
Thanks,

Ironman 70.3 Chattanooga, October 2019

Back in the sport after 20 years! Thank you. I purchased one of your half Ironman training plans for Chattanooga in May and absolutely love it. I am back to the sport after a 20 year absence and feel as though I have not missed a beat, thanks to following your plan. I will step up to one of your Ironman plans after this and hopefully qualify for Kona over the next two years. Thank you very much for designing such effective plans and making them available to people like me at such a reasonable cost. - 03 Oct 2019

IRONMAN 70.3, September 2019

THANK YOU for your excellent training plan I finished my first ever Ironman 70.3 (Cascais, 29.09.2019) in 5:29:29, and I just want to say THANK YOU for your excellent training plan, swift email responses, and great info pages.

The plan was absolutely fantastic. I rarely felt tired. Sometimes I thought I was not doing enough volume, but the truth is that the plan brought me to my goals. The days before race day, I felt strong and totally confident. During the race, I followed your pacing strategies and I had no pain, no cramps, not one moment of “bad” feeling. All went smooth, nice and easy.

The days before race day, I felt strong and totally confident. During the race, I followed your pacing strategies and I had no pain, no cramps, not one moment of “bad” feeling. All went smooth, nice and easy. The day after I did a recovery run with no soreness at all.

More importantly, I discovered that 70.3 is my passion, and I will continue in this distance. I will give it a bit more time and I will look at your more advanced plans. Thus, we will keep in touch!

All the best,

Ironman 70.3 Weymouth, September 2019

Manageable plans for a working mum I have been using My Pro Coach’s training plans since 2015, when I entered a standard duathlon - my first - a year after the birth of my second child. I’ve since followed My Pro Coach plans for sprint duathlon and half marathon - and, most recently, intermediate 70.3 training.

And, they’ve all delivered results I could not have achieved alone (2nd female overall in the Chilham Castle Duathlon, 1st female overall and course record for the Chilham Castle Sprint Duathlon, 3rd female overall for the Bedgebury Half Marathon and 5th female 40-45 at Weymouth 70.3 - my first ever... >> read moreI have been using My Pro Coach’s training plans since 2015, when I entered a standard duathlon - my first - a year after the birth of my second child.

I was drawn to the plans, initially, because they are easy to follow and very manageable for a working-mum who still wants to train.

The most recent plan - Intermediate Half Ironman - has been my favourite yet. The sessions are quality over quantity, and this works well when I’m juggling so much else. I’ve loved how the My Pro Coach team’s experience is transferred into this plan and, without realising, worked me into a physically-ready position for race day. I was never fazed by the 70.3 task because I trusted their process!

I’m hugely hugely grateful. The support - personal, interested support - has been a huge motivator.

Thank you. << read less - 30 Sep 2019

Marathon

Phil’s plans are perfect even for the recovering athlete Phil and team, I had major abdominal surgery last year and wasn’t sure I’d ever get my legs back but I purchased your 1/2 marathon plan and found after 9 weeks I had improved incredibly running a 31m 5km followed by a 2h19m 1/2 marathon yesterday for Canada’s commanders challenge Army Run. I loved your plan as it touched on all the segments needed for both endurance, strength and speed. Thank you. - 23 Sep 2019

IRONMAN 70.3, September 2019

My best performance and my new personal best Never felt so good on a race day before. I was well prepared thanks to the advanced 70.3 plan and had my best swim/bike/run splits and even with a flat tire I was able to achieve a new personal best. The plan was well structured with the idea of training smart not long and and I was able to push hard for the entire race. Thank you! - 22 Sep 2019

Olympic Triathlon and 10K Racing, September 2019

Great Training Plans! I would like to thank you and your team for providing such great training plans.

With the help of your Intermediate Olympic Plan (24 weeks) I crossed the finish line of my first olympic triathlon more than 10min faster as expected and with a big smile on my face.

2 month later after completing your 4 weeks Intermediate 10k plan I crushed my PB with more than 1 minute. - 13 Sep 2019

The race was just wonderful! I am Swiss and 49 Yrs. My preferred distance is IM 70.3 and I am addicted to triathlon for about 10 years now. This year I found your Intermediate IM 70.3 16 Weeks Plan, it fitted my lifestyle very well.
At IRONMAN 70.3 Bintan, I wanted to have fun and a solid race.
The race was just wonderful. I enjoyed it very much. I ended up 4th place with only 11 minutes to the winning lady!! I was and still am very happy with my performance.

Great Plan I completed my first two IM70.3 (Santa Rosa and Santa Cruz 2019) with Phil's Intermediate IRONMAN 70.3 - 32 Weeks plan, both under 5 hours and 25 minutes. What’s great? Easy to follow, structured workouts, access to articles and tips, and that you can use it multiple times. - 10 Sep 2019

A Plan to Trust I've used Phil's Sprint Triathlon plans in the past and loved them. I could always trust that if I followed them (and provided nothing broken down on race day) I'd be able to go out and give it my absolute best on race day. When I signed up for my first 70.3 I already knew I'd be using Phil's plans again and sure enough had the time of my life completing the Eagleman, an IRONMAN 70.3 in Cambridge, Maryland.

Easy to follow and great IRONMAN results!! Very structured, easy to follow training plans helped me to some great PBs for Ironman 70.3 and also used Phil's plan to train and finish my first full Ironman distance race!!! He takes the guess work out of it and with the Training Peaks partner, you can upload and swap dates to accommodate your busy life. - 01 Sep 2019

Very Pleased Finisher This is the first time I have used an online training programme and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Phil's to anyone looking!!
