Winning is a Mindset, Not a Spot on the Podium
This Intermediate level plan is made for athletes who want to PR but can't quit their day job to train full-time (Yeah, that's all of us). This is our most versatile plan as it will work well for a 6-7 hour finisher who wants to improve their time OR a fast age grouper who has limited time to train & needs every session to count. The workouts are detailed & structured so that no session goes to waste.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Reviews
This was my second time using Paragon Training for 70.3 #2. I found the training regiment challenging, and doable for the average triathlete like myself that was looking to maximize training with limited time. I found the training hours worked great with my work schedule, and I got the result I desired at Ironman 70.3 TX in Galveston. I highly recommend this program for triathletes looking to take their training to the next level.
I am a goal-oriented person; thus, I believe the best way to judge a training program is by the results it delivers. In this case, the evidence speaks for itself: I just finished IM 70.3 Lubbock where I posted a PR by shaving 28 minutes off my previous record.
This plan provides a great balance between training and work/family for the busy triathlete. The workouts during the week are very manageable and incorporate both low- and high-intensity sessions. The weekends are for the long workouts which can be completed early in the morning. On Saturdays and Sundays I was always home by 9 AM. This program also has a strength component which is very important because it allows you to train and race injury-free.
At the starting line in Lubbock my confidence was high and I knew I could PR but I was very surprised that I was able to take off that much time. All the credit goes to the Paragon team that put this plan together.
