Triathlon & IRONMAN Training Plans

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

very well structured plans I have used already Ironman 140.6 and 70.3 plans from Myprocoach and I really like the thinking behind the training schedule and sessions.

It is very well structured and designed to aid you to get a good balance in between training and recovery. And one of the greatest things I have realized this year when using the same plan for the second time is that it was updated automatically, so some workouts were new and different. That helps with getting motivation forward. On top of it, you have great and quick support by email from the Myprocoach team when needed. << 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

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

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

Sub 10 hour Chose 36 week IM plan for my first IM. Excellent guidance through 9 months of training led me to 9 hours 43 min IM finishing time.

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

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. 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

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. 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

They keep you focused on your training and the plans are very well set out. Phil is always on hand for advice and help which is great, even when you pick up some slight injuries along the way. This ironman advanced plan got me to the finish line in Hamburg very happy indeed. Don't hesitate if you are looking you wont be disappointed. Many, Many Thanks...………………... << read less
