Beyond thankful to YOU for your Ironman COZUMEL Training plan. I followed it to a “T.” Well, maybe I swam a little bit more, haha, cuz I’m a mermaid! I have not done a triathlon in six years and this is my first ever Ironman!!!!!!!!! The fact that I got to this Ironman healthy, uninjured, being the most fit ever in my entire life at 51 years old, mentally focused AND then to be able to finish healthy and strong …. most importantly accomplishing my goal of raising over $6,000 for the Alzheimer’s Association is beyond a blessing to me and my family. The performance I had and my 2nd place finish was the icing on the cake and in my mind – My Kona! Looking forward to next year training and racing! Thank you again for everything.

I just wanted to let you know that I completed Ironman Canada this last Sunday and it was fantastic! The bike hills were brutal and the temperature was 95 degrees but it still went better than I imagined! Your plan worked to perfection and I wanted to thank you very very much! During training I was never injured or had any major issues and I believe your plan had a lot to do with that. I think I will be taking some time off from training but I’m sure at some point I will pick it back up again.

So again, thank you for providing a super solid training plan that helped me live out my long time dream.

Just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know how I got on at Ironman Arizona. I PR’d my swim by 2 mins and bike by 10 mins, but fell victim to cramps at around mile 15 of the run (first time ever, so I know I messed up my nutrition) – and ended up running a slightly slower marathon (3:36, so not a complete disaster). I finished in 10:24.44 – only 23 secs off a PR, and considering where I was in the summer (not swimming, only starting to run again). I’m pretty satisfied with my race.

I just wanted to take the time to personally thank you. I really enjoyed the training plan – it kept things interesting (especially in the pool!) and definitely improved me as an athlete. But what really impressed me was your responsiveness to my emails/questions. I wasn’t sure at first about going with a downloaded training plan approach, but have to say that it exceeded all my expectations.

Thanks a lot! I really like your training plans and they feel simple like made for me. 🙂 Training based on these have helped me to improve my results continuously and today I finished Ironman Tallinn with 9:54 improving my time from last year Ironman Switzerland over by 36 minutes. 🙂 You are doing great and thankful work!

Just finished the Ironman Florida today. I did a little better than plan on the swim at 1:18 and nailed the ride at 20.6mph. Started the run at 8:15 min miles and felt terrific. I ended up in 11th place in my age group.

For my first ever full distance triathlon and second triathlon ever (1st was a 70.3), I am elated! Your training plan was, in a word, spectacular. As you know, I was a little skeptical of the z2 training but learned how great your training plan is. I was ready and physically capable to hit my goals.

Thank you so very much for your help and plan. I really couldn’t have done it without you and your team. A thrill of a lifetime to hear “Your are an Ironman!!!

I had a blast this past weekend in CDA. I went in cold turkey (never did a tri event of any length) going into this event with your training plan as my guide. I pretty much stuck to the plan and finished with a smile.

Finished with a 13:57 and learned a huge amount about the need to figure out the hydration/fuel strategy. I was scared to death of getting behind in those areas in the run and consumed so much fluid that I stopped at most of the potty stops to unload. I kept passing people on the bike ride over and over again! The run was as high as 94 degrees so maybe the strategy worked. I walked through every drink station, but ran (at a pretty slow pace) for the entire course. I was wondering when my legs were going to say “we’ve had enough” but all of a sudden I hit the finish line. I attribute this to your great training program as well as the associated support pieces. Thanks so much.

I have finally achieved my dream, and managed to complete IM Texas in 12 hours 21 minutes, which is well beyond my target of sub 13 hours.

Thank you for your support and guidance!

I wanted to thank you for your plan and your advice how to adjust my training due to the injury. I finished the IM Maryland last weekend and improved my time by over an hour from last year.

Just a quick follow up thank you. Earlier this year, I purchased a training plan from you for the Busselton Ironman. Your plan & resources were a great help. My Busselton Ironman time was 10:55 this year – last year was 11:31 – so this was a PR. Anyway thanks again for your plan & help!

Just thought I’d send you an update and thank you for the Ironman training program. It worked really well, especially the run training. The speed work and hill training really paid off for me.

Just got back from Mont Tremblant and had an amazing day. Other than some bad side stitches for the first 7km of the run, it went perfect. I had a great swim 1:09, went really easy on the bike and had a great run for me going 5:06 (taking 19mins off my run time from my last Ironman 18 years ago). I stopped the clock at 12:58, 9 mins slower than Ironman Florida in 2000. My wife said I looked way better at the end of this one, than the last. A testament to the training program.

I purchased your training plan for Ironman Santa Rosa and had a fantastic race – this was my third Ironman and was definitely the most prepared for this race because of your plan. While I utilized training plans for the previous two, I really appreciated that your plan was much more focused and actually less training than I had previously done. I have a very busy career and previous plans were quite frankly just not achievable with the amount of load during the week. That tended to lead towards quicker burnout and also just being in a habit of having to miss workouts which was a negative mental aspect. I was able to probably land closer to 90-95% of the workouts this time (mostly missing due to travel) and had a PR by nearly 40 minutes (I think it could have even been a greater PR if the bike course wouldn’t have had such poor road conditions). For me, having key targeted workouts during the week makes the most sense and then on the weekends I can devote the time needed to getting the long distance workouts in.

I just wanted to thank you firstly for  the training plan and secondly for always answering my questions so promptly no matter how trivial.

I completed the IRONMAN last Saturday. My fitness/training had been spot on thanks to the plan. I had energy, I wasn’t tired and I ran the last 10 km faster than I ever have and finished feeling great.

Anyway mate once again thank you and would recommend this to anyone that asks.

You helped me with my first IM last year in CDA. What makes your training plans unique is your timely follow up and insights you provided via email and online resources. I didn’t just get workouts; I got an experienced coach to help me through the process. What an experience and achievement I will never forget. Thank you for all the support and advice.

I recently completed my first Ironman Texas.

Just a quick background, I have never gone beyond the half iron before this. I used your training plan for 18 weeks leading up to the race and followed it very closely in terms Of time spent in the pool, on the bike, running and strength training. Although I kept it a little more simplified scientifically with heart rate and various speed zones but I was very strict to your times/days within the plan. I completed the IM in 14:25, which is right where I expected/hoped to be.

But more importantly, I felt good at the end and I credit that to my nutrition plan and your training guide.  I just wanted to take a moment to let you know how valuable your plan was for me at 55 years old it was perfect for me. THANK YOU for helping me achieve this lofty goal “on my own” and with the training plan guidance!!!

Just wanted to say thanks for the training plan.  I finished the Boulder Ironman in 11hrs 41min.  It was so great to just start every week knowing what was on the agenda.  I stuck to almost all the workouts and knew I was prepared when the day came.

Just finished IM Florida. Thanks for an awesome plan. I couldn’t have done it without your help and plan. Worth every penny!!!

Just wanted to send a short note to say, “Thanks.”  Just completed my first full Ironman and couldn’t have done it without your IM plans.  I purchased your 14-week IM 70.3 plan and then the 10-week IM 140.6 plan. This year I was able to complete three 70.3 races and a 140.6. Looking forward to next year. Thanks again.
