Running & Marathon Training Plans

Perfect plan for my first 70.3 I used Phil's Novice 70.3 plan (28 weeks) to prepare for my first ever 70.3 in Luxemburg. My goal: finish with a smile. Being a slower athlete (sometimes THE slowest) I always struggled with finding a plan that would fit my needs: it would have to take my slower paces... >> read moreI used Phil's Novice 70.3 plan (28 weeks) to prepare for my first ever 70.3 in Luxemburg. My goal: finish with a smile. Being a slower athlete (sometimes THE slowest) I always struggled with finding a plan that would fit my needs: it would have to take my slower paces into account but still would have to prepare me for a race longer than 7 hours. It actually was my first plan I purchased from Phil. It worked out perfectly for me! Distances and duration, even of the longer sessions, were totally fine for me and when needed paces and the plan itself were adjustable to my needs. Still, I was training for a middle distance so there definetely is some work to do but it was totally managable, also in between my every day life and job. And after some ups and downs on race day I crossed the finish line in Luxemburg. << read less

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! << read less

Great 20 weeks of training I got the 20 Weeks IronMan 70.3 Beginner plan and it worked perfectly for me.

This was my first ever half distance triathlon and I was able to get the right fitness for the event. The plan has a great structure, the intensity of the workouts is just right and the duration was good enough to still have time for other activities. I completed the race and I couldn't be more satisfied with the training plan. << read less

Very Good Plan/Holistic approach Only 5 weeks into the training plan, but love so far. The only addition I would include is a plan that includes power for running and it would be perfect. Pic-Last season, 1st in the age group.

So much more than an online training plan I was recommended Myprocoach plans by a friend. I was looking for a long plan to help me prepare for my 1st full distance Ironman.

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

Crushed my goal and plan surpassed my expectations.... This is my first time using an online training plan and was skeptical. I’m focusing on sprint distance due to a chronic injury and my goal was to qualify for ITU World’s next year in the 45-49 ag. My A race was Provincials/World’s qualifier.....not only did I win my ag... >> read moreThis is my first time using an online training plan and was skeptical. I’m focusing on sprint distance due to a chronic injury and my goal was to qualify for ITU World’s next year in the 45-49 ag. My A race was Provincials/World’s qualifier.....not only did I win my ag by 10+ minutes, I placed third female overall! It all came together perfectly and I give most of the credit to my training plan that whipped me into shape in 12 weeks. I will definitely be using another myprocoach plan next season and highly recommend! << read less

Plan Prepared Me Superbly! My race at IM 70.3 Santa Rosa went great! The plan prepared me superbly for it. I felt strong! Thanks so much for your guidance regarding the use of your plans.

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.

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. Not only do you get a fantastic plan, but email access to a professional coach. This has been one of the most valuable tools I've ever used. << read less
