I'm 63 and been out of endurance sports for many years. Phil's programs are very carefully designed with just the right mix of strength, intensity, endurance and rest REST to build you into race readiness. Thank you Phil! You helped me build my body and confidence not only to smash it but have loads of fun and recover quickly. Thank YOU again, highly recommended!

Training for my first 70.3 on July 2 using your 12 week beginner plan. I did the first 4 weeks 2x to make it a 16 week plan. I am finding it easy to follow, flexible to change some of the workouts. I've only missed 2 sessions! Feeling confident as the race approaches!

[@myprocoach123]

That's great to hear! Good luck with your race, and please let us know how you get on.

Hola, estoy entrenando para un IM 70.3 el 16 de julio en Manta - Ecuador. Es mi octavo 70.3 y aunque ya he realizado dos 140.6, tengo un gran problema por mi disgusto con los entrenamiento de fuerza y flexibilidad, casi nunca los realizo.

[@myprocoach123]

No te preocupes, no eres el único. ¡Es difícil encontrar el tiempo! El entrenamiento de fuerza se vuelve más importante cuando llegas a los 40 y 50 años. Pero nadar, andar en bicicleta y correr son siempre los más importantes.

[@valentinagoftman5336]

6 times per week, once a day!

Thanks for your comment, good advice!

Is it good to train cycling 100k a week; 50 in peloton and 50 individual, avg 30-35 kph. I put run more frequent since this is my weakness for an half marathon. My fitness: I can run one hour; little more minutes; for 10 k (fresh condition, not a brick session) I'm a working guy 8 to 5. Thanks b4, Phill.

[@myprocoach123]

100k per week cycling is good, although it depends on what you do in that 100k. If it helps, there's a link to our free training plans in the video description. You can compare what's in the training plans, to what you do now.

I’m looking into buying your 48 week plan for a 70.3. Does this plan make sense for me? I’m a bit scared it would wear me out to keep at it.

[@myprocoach123]

The 48-week plans are our longest, ideal for those who want to build up slowly. Although for some, 48 weeks can be a long time to stick to a plan. Everyone is different. The best thing is to email us [e-mail], and we'll help you decide.
