Plan Description

Winning is a Mindset Not a Spot on the Podium

This Intermediate level plan is made for athlete's who want to PR but can't quit their day job. This is our most versatile plan as it will work well for a 12-16 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 workout goes wasted.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"As far as the program is concerned, I could not be happier. I can honestly say that I am race ready not just to finish but to PR. I can literally see improvement not just in my speed but in how I feel and how confident I am. A full IM is a long race and lots of things can happen. Should I not hit my target time, it won't be because of the plan but because of my own race execution."
