Trust the Plan First time Half Ironman training (age group 50-54) and decided I would need help to do it. MyProCoach recommended the 15 week Master program. The mix of workouts are enjoyable and TrainingPeaks very convenient and informative. However, about two-thirds through training, I worried a little that I was not doing enough and that I did not have sufficient time. Some nerves are probably normal, so I pushed those doubts out of my head. I successfully completed my first HI and know that the training prepared me well. So well, in fact, that I believe I can do even better next... >> read moreFirst time Half Ironman training (age group 50-54) and decided I would need help to do it.

Excellent preparation for my first 70.3 I used the Masters Beginner level training program to prepare for my first IM 70.3 event over a period of 39 weeks. My only experience in triathlon before beginning the program was a single sprint race three years prior. I felt the program was well developed and paced. Phil's plan helped me establish and measure benchmarks and the software adjusted my workouts for my skill and fitness improvement over time. The plan helped me to develop confidence, particularly in the swim. I found it to be highly structured, but easy to follow.

The plan helped me to develop confidence, particularly in the swim. I found it to be highly structured, but easy to follow. Perhaps the best testament is that I finished the 70.3, never once developed an injury, and had significant measurable improvement in all three disciplines over the course of the plan. Now that my race is done, I miss it! I would highly recommend Phil and his team to anyone and look forward to using them again for the next adventure. << read less - 06 Oct 2021

I'd just like to share with you some great news and thank your whole team for amazing training plans and coaching support over the last few
years that have made my dreams come true.
Here is my story. I've started running 3 years ago. I have never run in my life, even in school. I didn't like it at first but then I've got into it and decided to take on running seriously. I've bought few books and found few free training plans on the internet. These were good enough to get me ready for my first 10k and half marathon races... >> read moreI'd just like to share with you some great news and thank your whole team for amazing training plans and coaching support over the last few

Here is my story. I've started running 3 years ago. I have never run in my life, even in school. I didn't like it at first but then I've got into it and decided to take on running seriously. I've bought few books and found few free training plans on the internet. These were good enough to get me ready for my first 10k and half marathon races but when I decided to train for my first marathon, it was a mistake not to use the proper training plan. Looking back I can tell you that I wasn't ready even after almost a year of running. Nevertheless, I attempted to run my first marathon in 2019 and bonked around mile 20. Stitches, both hamstrings hurt, dehydration, etc. I decided that it was the end of my cookie-cutter approach to training and signed up with your team.
After training with you guys for over 2 years, I've finished an Ironman, multiple sprint and Olympic distance triathlons, ultra-marathon, and 6 marathons, including the one yesterday which I finished at 3:01:50 (BQ -18min). Not a single injury during the training, I've lost 40 lb and am in the best shape of my life. It is all thanks to your team's training plans and support. You are doing an amazing job! I am looking forward to many successful years of training together! << read less - 06 Oct 2021

Beginner's Marathon Plan Great plan, I went from being someone who had no confidence in my ability to run a marathon to actually being able to run it! - 05 Oct 2021

Strong in Muncie Phil and his team were a great support throughout my entire training. The programming was extremely manageable and I could feel my progress from week to week. I was ready for race day and felt strong for the entire 70.3! Looking forward to working with them to accomplish my goal of completing a full Ironman next June in Madison. - 04 Oct 2021

70.3 Just finished my first 70.3. The TP plan was spot on. It had me properly conditioned and ready to go for race day. I had personal best times in the swim and bike. The coaching advise I received along the way was outstanding and very easy to implement. I will definitely use TP for my next race. - 04 Oct 2021

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! DO IT!! These plans are so great!! I did their intermediate 70.3 plan last year and then did the advanced 70.3 24 week plan this year, and I was able to cut so much time off all three disciplines!! The plan well prepares you for race day and you are able to fit it in to a busy schedule without too much compromise to your life. I work 40 hours as a PT and was still able to complete workouts throughout the week without having trouble fitting them into life. RACE DAY WAS AMAZING!

So happy with these plans and will always come back to them to prepare for the next race! Thank you, guys!! << read less - 03 Oct 2021

A very good plan. Feel the progress from week to week A very good plan.
Feel the progress from week to week.
I did the best I could, and each time I improved, and 3 weeks before the marathon I ran 20km in a difficult mountainous terrain in my best time [and I think I have 12-13 of these competitions]. And when I went a marathon, it was the toughest marathon I have ever run, it was blowing in the face all the time, and at the end from the side, and 12.5 km on the beach [from 15.5 km to 28 km], and then about the last 4-2 km also on the... >> read moreA very good plan.

And when I went a marathon, it was the toughest marathon I have ever run, it was blowing in the face all the time, and at the end from the side, and 12.5 km on the beach [from 15.5 km to 28 km], and then about the last 4-2 km also on the beach . And after 21 km there were also ascents and descents as well as ascents and descents.
It was raining all the time. The plan I made was under ideal conditions, just as stryd estimated the power and time in the marathon under ideal conditions. And so this plan gave me a lot, so that I wouldn't train with this plan, the marathon time would be much worse. And surprisingly, I was ahead of everyone from 11.5 km, I only had problems on the stairs and on uphills and on mounds of sand. And I improved my position from 10km, then to 20km, then to 30km and also improved for the final classification. I recommend this plan and would try a different one. My plan was 5-6 days a week. The maximum distance is about 92 km per week in the hardest week.
I was running hard all the time with this plan. And my CP jumped to the next level. << read less - 02 Oct 2021

Midlife crisis 🙂 Text: Approaching my 50th birthday, I got the idea that an International distance triathlon would be a good, life affirming way to celebrate the milestone. Not being a really serious or highly trained athlete (who previously did only a couple of sprint ones), I figured I needed to train in order to finish and live to tell the story. Phil’s plan and Kelly’s help along the way answering many questions got me to the finish line and 3rd in my age category. - 01 Oct 2021

KISS MyProCoach training plan with email support from Coach Jess was just what I needed to focus my training efforts and accomplish my first Ironman 70.3. I love how simple it is to load into Training Peaks and to see the workout plan on your garmin and or phone. Coach Jess was very responsive and helped me navigate several training and equipment questions I had. Myprocoach has so many resources to access to make your training plan effective and straight forward. I like how Coach Phil Mosley has video instruction accessible via links within TP.

Simply a great plan to follow I followed the advanced 12 weeks marathon plan from Phil and I felt great and happy throughout the entire journey. I did not miss a single workout and I actually enjoyed the improvements made by MyProCoach since when I had originally purchased the plan. With couple of workouts left before the big day, I can say this training plan led me to a condition that has never been so great until my current 50 years old age. I am leaner, faster and even lighter than ever before. With a body weight of 66 kg. and 12% body fat composition, achieved... >> read moreI followed the advanced 12 weeks marathon plan from Phil and I felt great and happy throughout the entire journey.

I am leaner, faster and even lighter than ever before. With a body weight of 66 kg. and 12% body fat composition, achieved by combining the training efforts with a more informed dietary regime (i.e. no carbs, pasta and bread just at dinner coupled with proteins and vegetables just at dinner) I have become a more efficient machine capable to sustain enduring efforts with limited fatigue. I also noticed improvement in my ability to cope with cold/hot outdoor temperatures, limited influid takes during long workouts, etc. and I believe that having diligently followed Phil's training plan plays a big role into all these improvements. Thanks to all the MyProCoach team for preparing me for the incoming marathon that signs my return to racing post COVID-19 break! << read less - 29 Sep 2021

Helped me under 5hrs for 70.3 Did the 12 week 70.3 training plan. Found that the training load wasn't too much, and I reached the event confident in my form in all 3 disciplines (first time that's happened. Great email support from the team when I had questions or needed advice on rejigging my schedule.

My only caution is that the TSS rationing approach doesn't quite work for me - I seem to take longer to recover from FTP testing and speed training than from the z2 and threshold stuff. This meant that I found one of the active recovery weeks, and the first week... >> read moreDid the 12 week 70.3 training plan.

My only caution is that the TSS rationing approach doesn't quite work for me - I seem to take longer to recover from FTP testing and speed training than from the z2 and threshold stuff. This meant that I found one of the active recovery weeks, and the first week of taper, harder than many of the big build weeks. I'll try the Masters version next time.

At the end of the day, this plan was a big factor me going sub-5hr, taking 12 minutes off my PB. << read less - 29 Sep 2021

Very Instrumental Very responsive but one would've hope that trainer would have access to Traningpeaks to make observations on data progress upon request. - 28 Sep 2021

Sessions are logical, fun and challenging Your training approach and daily videos have been very helpful. I'm near the end of your Olympic training plan. I'm getting stronger and have lost a little weight. The sessions are logical, fun and challenging. Keep up the good work in providing excellent plans to folks like me. Jess has also been extremely helpful.

Ride of my life My goal was to ride the Marmotte gran fondo in the French Alps. I absolutely loved the training plan provided by Phil and his team. It suited my needs very well and the email support was great when I had questions about modifying the plan to prepare for my event. Thanks to the training plan I've never been fitter and had the greatest ride of my life! I even managed to finish in time for a gold certificate, finishing in just under 8 hours. Thanks Phil & team! - 27 Sep 2021
