I’ve been doing a fair amount of training (or so I think) for 3 years and kept getting the same result every year at 94.7... Just over 3 hours (3.05, 3.01, 3.08). I always spin several times a week and I ride almost every Saturday and Sunday, both road and MTB.My fitness has always been constant, with good endurance. I’ve done 7 road rides from Joburg to Durban, Epic, Sani2C, Half IronMan and a few other ultra events.

This year I decided I really need to take it up a notch. I don’t train more hours than before, just in a more scientific and targeted way. In a way that is personalized and intended to maximize the improvement by taking into account where I really am at the moment.It really seems to be a perfect balance between intense sessions and recovery and (yes!) rest. The improvement so far has been phenomenal, and I just know that breaking 3 hours at 94.7 will be too easy a goal for me in a few months’ time.

I’m so excited to see how far this body can take me. I’ve never been so motivated in my training, because now I have certainty and I can measure the results with such accuracy. I feel like before I was investing in the stock exchange but I was only able to see my bank statement a few times a year, when there was an important race. Now I check and measure myself weekly and test monthly, in absolute terms, comparing apples with apples, and I can see continuous, incremental improvement.

Thank you MPG!!!

Been with MPG from the start and must say it works like a charm as it workes out the program to what your level of training needs to be. It can be used for any race distance you training for. Also has a very good bunch of coaches that respond to any questions you may have. They follow you every step of the way and make sure you reach your goals.

I have been on the MPG program for three months.

In my short time on the program I have been able to improve my performance and remain injury free across all three disciplines which has been fantastic.

It is an individual approach with specific target times and regular assessments in order to track improvements which is great!

MPG definitely has shown me better results with less training hours.

The coaches are friendly and supportive and always open to answering questions and any concerns raised around training program.

I love the fact that the MPG program advises on which strength exercises to do so I don’t have to think about it.

The social side of the sport has always been important for me. MPG group has been super community to be a part of…

I look forward to the journey in 2017.

My journey with MPG has been amazing, lost 12kg, finished my first Ironman in 11h:38m and then qualified for 70.3 World Champs in Austria after finishing 6th overall at 70.3 SA.

Every month my times are getting better when I do the tests and it seems there is no ceiling to my performance improvement!

Since starting with MPG three months ago my running has gotten to a completely new level, achieving my PB at 70.3 Durban this year with a win on my age group and now after having qualified for IM World Champs in Hawaii I am for the first time aiming for podium as I am getting stronger and stronger every month.
