Great training program for new triathlete.

Just completed my first 70.3 IM in Maple Valley Washington, thanks to the training plan I followed from Paragon. Being a new triathlete, I was looking for a challenging coaching program that would help me achieve my goal of completing my first 70.3 IM. I was so pleased with the results of my race thanks to the challenging training I got thru Paragon. I highly recommend it to anybody looking for a solid training plan they can follow to help them reach their goals in their next endurance race.

I recommend this!

A FANTASTIC OPTION

I am a seasoned athlete in the sport for more than 12 years and have done everything from 0 structure to self-coaching to 1:1 coaching. If you know your zones and can stay accountable without a 1:1 coach, I HIGHLY recommend this plan! It was a great balance of everything you need to have a successful race. I especially enjoyed the added durability from the core work and recovery sessions, which paid dividends in injury prevention. Also, the plan includes detailed explanations and articles that help frame how to approach the workouts and the process. Never once did I feel burned out or overtrained. On race day, I was prepared and excited, which translated to a 35-minute PR and a Kona spot. It's quite possible I will repeat the same plan for Kona!

I recommend this!

Really enjoyed the process

The advanced plan I feel had a multitude of so many different aspects of triathlon and never made anything stale. (although some of the 6+ hr rides did get tough, including the 6:30 here in Phoenix in June is a tough session ending the day over 100 degrees.) I thought the progression in each skill was very good. I've seen improvement in all aspects of triathlon and looking forward to toeing the line at the end of the month to see what comes out of it. I will be honest, I didn't get 100% of the workouts in but I'm pretty close to 95% hitting the key sessions. 28 weeks is really tough to keep the mindset and look at a goal so far in the distance, but the plan keeps you guessing and really focuses on the things that matter.

I'm not sure if it's how you guys stack the work outs or what (knock on wood), but I've never done multiple 17 hr + weeks (not to mention 4 in a row) and not get injured. Utilizing the slower endurance rides and shuffle jogs during the week really put recovery at the forefront. I really liked that and felt the benefits.

It's close to taper mode with a few harder workouts in the next week or so, then really start resting the body for the IM day. (bump up some intensity and back off the duration....I like it!)

I just want to thank you for answering my questions when I asked them, I really appreciate it since I know how busy you are.

I recommend this!
