Progressive I'm just hitting the build phase of my plan leading to a sprint duathlon later in the year, its been really easy to follow the plan and I'm really noticing the improvements in speed and power in both cycling and running which gave me a new 5K PB this morning. - 20 Jun 2020

Hard but achievable. I always have trouble balancing work-training-life, like everyone I guess. With the plan and combination with TrainingPeaks, I can see the benefits and look forward to the days off. The flexibility of the plan is also a + for me since I can move around the sessions as I please if I stay longer in the office or life events take control. I got what I wanted, and it is to have the plan on my wrist I just have to know in advance the type and the length dress up and listen to what my watch is dictating.

With the plan and combination with TrainingPeaks, I can see the benefits and look forward to the days off. The flexibility of the plan is also a + for me since I can move around the sessions as I please if I stay longer in the office or life events take control. I got what I wanted, and it is to have the plan on my wrist I just have to know in advance the type and the length dress up and listen to what my watch is dictating. Where it could be better? I think, it is including more tips during segments or leading to segments. This could bring the session to a completely new level. For example, the warmup for running could be broken down to segments of high knees, then but kicks or whatever. A bit more of those details would make the plan seem more tailor-made. No new stuff, just more details that show the care for the structure. In cycling the cadence of the segments not only the power. Or even encouraging messages after 2,5 hours of the bike. Also, the swim sessions should be downloadable to the Garmin watches somehow (uniform the structure and make it clear how it works). I lost most of my prep time to write the swim segments. I wrote a lot, but those are not complaints about a bad plan, only remarks on how to make a good plan the best there is anywhere.

Thank you so much for this detailed feedback, you will be pleased to know we already have projects in place to make some of the updates suggested and have messaged you privately with more detail. << read less - 25 May 2020

IRONMAN 70.3, May 2020

Quality: Intermediate 70.3 Quality Ironman 70.3 intermediate plan. I recommend it! I’m an amateur with 10yrs of competitive Tri and duathlon racing at world level in the past. I’m also experienced in training with no plan and a few extra kgs - this doesn’t work. I’ve trained in squads, on generic plans, dedicated one-to-one coaching in that time with various approaches from sprint to full Ironman. So I’ve seen a lot what what is out there. This plan is quality. On reading I could tell it was very good. The difficulty as intermediate is well placed. Its suitable challenging for someone with racing... >> read moreQuality Ironman 70.3 intermediate plan. I recommend it! I’m an amateur with 10yrs of competitive Tri and duathlon racing at world level in the past. I’m also experienced in training with no plan and a few extra kgs - this doesn’t work. I’ve trained in squads, on generic plans, dedicated one-to-one coaching in that time with various approaches from sprint to full Ironman. So I’ve seen a lot what what is out there. This plan is quality. On reading I could tell it was very good. The difficulty as intermediate is well placed. Its suitable challenging for someone with racing background but who’s been out of the game for a short while too. The plan is centred around initial tests to baseline your ability, so in this regard it is personalised to your ability. As the athlete, you must still use your smarts to listen to your body when training but on this plan I felt the fatigue was always well managed. The plan in Training Peaks is brilliant. Full description of each session automatically customised to the required intensity using your previous test results. The plan is also periodised into build and peak phases with a clear distinction in the type of training in each phase with progressive adaptation of sessions within the phases. It’s very well thought out. You are also able to re-use the plan in Training Peaks which is ideal especially when unforeseen events occur like race cancellations and you need to restart or just aim for another race date. The results. I’ve seen significant improvements across swim, bike and run. Biggest gains being on the bike! I’ve also followed the strength and conditioning sessions in the plan so injury prevention and support for better person is handled by this aspect. The team is also very supportive and motivating via social channels. They really take an interest in the athletes who purchase their plans. So be sure to follow myprocoach on FB and insta. I highly recommended this plan, so get it and shift your attention to picking the race now! << read less - 21 May 2020

Very helpful training plan An excellent Plan. I made a huge progress in my training with the olympic triathlon plan. - 15 May 2020

Well structured and progressive training programme. I was in two minds about buying a training programme when you can get plans for free from magazines, websites etc. but I haven't looked back since buying one from myprocoach. I found it very well structured in a way which progressively improved my fitness, from pretty much nothing, to ready for an Ironman 70.3. This was after a break from any form of sport for 15 months due to an injury. This is all without the training taking over your life.

This was after a break from any form of sport for 15 months due to an injury. This is all without the training taking over your life. The workouts are structured in a way that they are very beneficial but without being too time-consuming for us who have jobs and normal day to day lives. The plan uses periodisation to build you up through the base, build and peak phase ready to tackle your event. The email support alongside the programme is also a very good part which provides a personal feel to the programme. Will 100% be buying a programme for tackling the Ironman 140.6 from myprocoach. << read less - 12 May 2020

Duathlete, May 2020

Perfect Plan First of all, thank you for the great Duathlon Plan which I purchased nearly 6 months ago. I have 3 'A' races this year but only one I can complete only because of COVID. I finished 3rd in my age group on Turkish Triathlon Federation Cross Duathlon Race. Now I will look new plan for my 10K PR. - 12 May 2020

Great plans and great team! Great 70.3 training plan and great support from the team! Removes the guesswork, just put your head down and follow the plan. Going from Olympic distance to 70.3 they perfectly advised on what plan was right and provided support along the way through injuries and race cancellations. Can't wait to put all that training into a race once that COVID19 crisis is over. - 08 May 2020

Love to run now Having a training plan instead of running to run has dramatically increased my love for running. The running plan has allowed me to focus on the need rather than the want. I will continue to buy these plans because not only does it keep me focused, but I see results. - 29 Apr 2020

Perfect Plan for an OFG (old fat guy)! I will never again try to train without coaching and a plan. Simply getting out there and riding is fun, but then it is just activity. In order to get physical benefits, to me it is important to have a training plan. As a 68 year old, the plan was perfect in not trying over do things but yet I was challenged. I must add that the essential part was getting a good bike fit so that I could really put all I had into it without damaging my knees and back. Thank you for helping me get results. - 21 Apr 2020

Motivation MyProCoach provide me with an opportunity to motivate myself and complete programmes within timescales rather than taking the easy option of doing nothing. - 14 Apr 2020

Great plan and great customer service during COVID-19 I bought the 70.3 master 30 week plan. I had delays starting and keeping to a structured plan due to CV-19 lockdown in Sydney. I asked to change to the 24 week plan and was given the plan no questions asked. Great customer service/focus. - 12 Apr 2020

I am back! Getting back into the sport after a 14-year hiatus, I first spent a few weeks with a different training platform, and when I found it wasn't really suiting me, I came across MyProCoach. My coach contact (Bob) was quick and helpful when I had a couple of questions before I'd even purchased a plan, and I signed up for the Beginner Olympic Distance Plan. The whole process was easy and Training Peaks made following the plan dead easy. I ended up getting to my 'B' sprint race before Covid-19 put a halt to the season.

Following the My Pro Coach plan got me ready for the day and I had a good race and enjoyed every moment of it. Bummed that I won't be able to compete in the Olympic distance race that I was preparing for, but I know that I would have been ready and raring to go. If you're looking for a training plan to follow, and you've got the motivation to get out there and do the work, MyProCoach is the perfect option. You won't regret it! << read less - 07 Apr 2020

Great Program and prepares you to start and finish strong. Was training for the Paris Marathon. When it got cancelled, I chose to go to Mrytle Beach nearly a month ahead of plan so I could get one in before all were cancelled. This program had me better prepared than any previous and I ended up getting a PR beating my goal time by nearly 8 minutes. Phil's Master program got me better prepared than any of the other 7 marathons that I have run. Thanks Phil! - 06 Apr 2020

Very satisfied I've got to say, I have been really sceptical to buying a general training plan and thought that the best option is hiring a coach but the price of coaching service have turned me off that. MyProCoach I have found to be the perfect middle ground with excellent training plans and super helpful email service. This is honestly the best training plan I have ever used. Thank you Phil and your entire crew! - 05 Apr 2020

The right plan for my first TRI I followed this plan to get ready for my first triathlon. Very satisfied with the plan, good intensity. Contacted the coaches by email a few times and they replied very fast. Unfortunately my tri was cancelled due to coronavirus, but was feeling READY! - 27 Mar 2020

I keep using Phils plans Hard to beat if you're looking for a cost-effective, structured plan, in TrainingPeaks. I've used 3 now (1/2 and full). All are similar so it does feel repetitive at times, but hey, he has so many he has to replicate the formula. - 21 Mar 2020

Great for coming back after injury! The 10 week plan for running a marathon is great for getting back into shape after an injury and you had a good base previous to getting injured. I was midway into my regular training plan and I had to stop for eight week due to a soleus strain! This plan helped me get back on track quickly and with lower risk of getting injured again. - 13 Mar 2020

Back running again After a 20 years of no training the 10km running plan has prepared me well for my first race in 2 decades. Love the integration with Training Peaks and my Garmin watch. - 13 Mar 2020

You are an IRONMAN! I just wanted to say a massive thank you for the programme and the support you have given me over the last 8 months.

I completed IRONMAN NZ on Saturday in 12h 37m (My first IRONMAN). I think I missed only 2 or 3 sessions over the 40-week programme and I really felt strong on Saturday and enjoyed the experience. I am really pleased with my time. Strangely, all of my 4km training swims took me about 1h 25. I did the swim on Saturday in 1.08! Amazing!

What an amazing feeling to have Mike Riley call out ‘Leigh Tasker you are an IRONMAN’ as I crossed the finishing line. Thank you again. I really could not have done this without your support and guidance. << read less - 10 Mar 2020

Excellent Structure For 2+ years I floundered around doing my own workouts and basing what I did on simply how I felt. The result was overtraining and peaking at the wrong time etc etc. The plan I now follow from MyProCoach has given me what I lacked. Professional guidance, structured meaningful workouts and above all else positive results 1 day at a time. I no longer need to guess on what is the best type of workout for where I am in my season as that work is all done for me.
