    Exactly what I needed

    The foundations plan made a tremendous improvement in my fitness and definitely prepared me to start the IM plan. The structure kept me on task and accountable. I did move some of the workouts around a bit (moved the long runs to Sunday) and substituted an alternate strength training program though. As I said in title, this foundations plan was exactly what I needed.

    The best foundation plan out there. 100% worth the money.

    If you would’ve asked me to run a mile, 12 weeks ago, i would have laughed.


    This program has helped me become ready for the real Ironman Training. I am now able to run 8 miles, cycle 60, and swim effortlessly.


    This plan is great for someone who needs help getting started with Ironman Training.

    Grateful

    Super plan uploaded easily to Training Peaks. Easy to follow, and/or adjust days when needed. I feel more confident, and know that I still have some work to do.


    Because of this plan, I have purchased another foundation plan. Looking forward to completing that!

    If anything should be easy… it’s uploading and following your training plan. Leave the “hard” to your workouts!
