Generic plans don't make you faster.

You don't need a coach texting you every day — you need the right system. Most self-guided triathletes stall because their plan is a random PDF, the three disciplines never come together, and nobody explains why each session matters.

My workouts feel random — am I even training toward my actual race?
Marc · training for his first 70.3
Swim, bike and run never come together — progress in one costs me another.
Daniel · Olympic-distance age-grouper
1-on-1 coaching runs €490–790/mo — overkill when I just want the method.
Tom · chasing a sub-11 Ironman
Equipment, nutrition, recovery, testing… 500+ questions — how do I figure it all out?
Laura · getting ready for her first tri
So much conflicting advice out there — who’ll tell me what actually works?
Elena · 70.3 finisher, stuck on a plateau

Real athletes, real results

The system delivers.

★★★★★

"My one-year review of the system: no pluses, only minuses. Minus 10 kg. Minus 1 hour 20 minutes on the full distance. Minus 40 minutes on the half marathon."

★★★★★

"This program is where I truly discovered triathlon. One season of structured training took me from local sprints to international starts — with a full-time job."

AnnaOlympic → 70.3 athlete
★★★★★

"We started mid-season — and results came fast: 25 minutes off my half-distance PB and top-20 in my age group. Thoughtful coaching with a huge arsenal of knowledge behind it."

Questions

Everything you might be wondering

How is this different from full coaching?

SAINT-TRI Smart gives you the same methodology and structured plans as our Premium and Platinum athletes — but self-guided. You drive your own training instead of having daily 1-on-1 contact with the head coach, which is why it's a fraction of the price.

I'm a beginner — is this too advanced?

Not at all. The methodology course starts from the fundamentals and the plans are built by level, including first-timers. You'll learn the system as you train.

What if I race a Sprint, not an Ironman?

Plans cover every distance — Sprint, Olympic, 70.3 and full Ironman. You pick your race and date, and get the matching periodized block.

Do I need special equipment or software?

Just a free Final Surge account (we deliver your plan there) and, ideally, a sports watch. And you won't have to figure the rest out alone: inside you get our complete equipment & gear recommendations — what actually works for your level, goals and budget — so you don't waste time and money experimenting.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. It's a flexible subscription — cancel in a click. And you're covered by our 7-day money-back guarantee.

Will I get feedback on my training?

You bring your questions to the monthly group Q&A call and the private community. If you later want individual feedback and plan adjustments, you can upgrade to Premium anytime.
