Reviews
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.
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.
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!
The program gets five stars from me. At the end of the day, what matters is performance: did I improve? Am I faster? Am I stronger? Do I feel better? The answer to these questions is a resounding yes.
This is my second year participating in triathlons. Having a structured plan has already reduced my distance threshold and has decreased my recovery time in between workouts. I highly recommend this plan!
