Half IRONMAN®️ 70.3®️ Training Plans

Excellent guidance through 9 months of training led me to 9 hours 43 min IM finishing time. It was very motivating to see progress during several first months. The plan kept me disciplined when FTP, CSS flattened, especially in the longest training months. Very user-friendly integration with Garmin and TrainingPeaks. Highly recommend Phil’s plan to anyone who does not have a personal coach. << read less

100% Worth the Money Used the Advanced 40-week IRONMAN plan and absolutely loved it!

I was between the Intermediate and Advanced plans, but with the support/advice from the coaches, I was confidently able to purchase the plan that best suited my goals. The one thing about this plan that stood out to me was the organization: this plan works excellently for those busy during the weekdays. I was able to complete 85-90% of the workouts in medical school and during residency interview season, which I was extremely happy with. Second, there is a good balance with this plan because I never felt totally burnt out. There were some occasions I skipped a workout because I was feeling tired/fatigued. But overall, I never felt run into the ground--the plan is forgiving in that way. On the other hand, I felt FAR MORE physically prepared for this race than my first Ironman where I followed a different plan. And side note, the email support system was quick and helpful too! << read less

Thanks so much for your plan! Hi Phil, I would never have expected to improve so much in only 12 weeks. Your training plan (IM Intermediate, 12 wks) allowed me to improve my own record on IM70.3 by 25min to reach 4H51 at Les Sables d'Olonne and my IM record by almost 2 hours to reach... >> read moreHi Phil, I would never have expected to improve so much in only 12 weeks. Your training plan (IM Intermediate, 12 wks) allowed me to improve my own record on IM70.3 by 25min to reach 4H51 at Les Sables d'Olonne and my IM record by almost 2 hours to reach 10H48 at Roth. I am so happy with those achievements that I now decided to try a marathon plan for the end of my season. Next year, I will target to qualify for IM70.3 world championship and will definitely use your plan again! Thanks, Alex << read less

Loved everything about it I followed the beginner Olympic triathlon program and loved it. At first it felt like I wasn’t doing enough, but soon realised I had been over training and by following Phil’s sweet spot training I actually started getting faster and stronger even though by time I was doing less.

At first it felt like I wasn’t doing enough, but soon realised I had been over training and by following Phil’s sweet spot training I actually started getting faster and stronger even though by time I was doing less. I managed to catch a cold the week of my event, but despite this I was able to compete and finished the event within my time goal (less than 3hrs 30) and recovered well the next day. I felt strong throughout the event (well, except the last 3k which were up a very rude hill), and had confidence in my race pace and nutrition strategy which came with the training. I emailed the coaches several times in my training and the replies were prompt and very thorough. I also loved that the training sync’d to my Garmin watch and prompted me live during training. I’ve just downloaded the intermediate program and plan to try another Olympic in 6 weeks time and see if I can do it a bit quicker! Thank you, the plan was brilliant! << read less

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.... >> 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’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 70.3.)

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

SUB 10 dream come true For 2nd year in a row I was following IM full distance Intermediate plan Did almost all the sessions prescribed (some skipped due to work and business trips).

For the first Year (2018) did IM Austria 10:03 My goal was to go sub 10, I think I failed because of weather (was hot day for running) and bit too much elevation gain on bike and nutrition. This Year (2019) I did the same plan 2nd year in a row And was able to fulfill my dream - going sub 10 Did Challenge Roth in 9:36 So thanks for the great training plan 🙂 Also in the process I went sub 3 in marathon (2:53) and two Years in a row was on podium in Latvian nationals in Olympic distance, and I did not do any special training for that, just this full distance plan (I did marathon in the middle of plan) Choose the right plan (that suits Your work, family and other commitments - I have 9am-6pm work and family), follow it and You will be FAST << read less

I was looking for a long plan to help me prepare for my 1st full distance Ironman. I chose the 44 week novice plan. I liked the idea of a good long base section to get a strong foundation. The plan was great. Really easy to follow. I upgraded my Training Peaks account so that I could move workouts around during the week to fit in with a busy family life. I just ticked off the sessions one by one, week by week. Nothing more satisfying than ticking off all the sessions. As the event and other races got closer, their help was invaluable. They helped me swap sessions around to prepare me for the less important races, do it didn’t affect my fitness or ability to train effectively for the main event. And my questions were always answered quickly - even at the weekend when I wasn’t expecting a response until the following week! I loved the Strava club, blogs with great advice and social media feed in the run up to the race too. It was great to see how other people were training and feeling too. It’s a real community. Thanks to the plan and support I got to the start line injury free and not only completed the race but enjoyed it too! << read less
