IRONMAN 70.3 Rockford, USA · 5:01:17
I want to thank my coach for these 8 months of preparation for my first IRONMAN 70.3. Finished in Rockford with a time of 5:01:17. Thanks to a clear plan, support and professional approach I completed this journey injury-free and arrived at the start in the best shape of my life. This finish is not just about 70.3 miles — it's the result of teamwork, discipline and trust between athlete and coach.

Marathon · PR 2:43:50
PR ALERT: 2:43:50! My 3rd marathon is in the books. To my coach Aleksiy Syutkin — thank you for the masterclass in preparation and getting me in the best shape of my life! The older I get, the faster I get. Paradox. Never stop. Keep dreaming, keep achieving.

Frequently asked questions

Aleksiy is based in Europe. How do time zones work?

Coaching is asynchronous most of the time: your plan is in TrainingPeaks, your workouts sync automatically, and chat replies come within 24 hours. Weekly calls are scheduled in US-friendly hours (mornings and evenings US time).

What language is the coaching in?

English. Aleksiy coaches athletes from the US, Canada, and Europe in English every day. Ukrainian is also available.

Do I need a power meter or a specific watch?

No. A GPS watch (Garmin, Apple Watch, Coros, Polar) that syncs to TrainingPeaks is enough to start. A heart-rate strap is recommended. A power meter is helpful for the bike but not required.

Do you work with beginners?

Yes. Many athletes come to Aleksiy for their first sprint or 70.3 with little structured training behind them. The plan starts from where you are, not from where a textbook says you should be.

How do I cancel?

Send a message any time. Coaching is month-to-month with no long-term contract, and you keep access until the end of the paid month.

What exactly is included in each plan?

STARTER: a personalized TrainingPeaks plan updated every two weeks plus chat. PRO adds a weekly call, unlimited chat, and workout analysis. VIP adds daily contact, daily adjustments, and nutrition and race-strategy sessions. See the full list under each plan above.

How soon can I start?

Usually within a week. After the intro call and assessment, your first training week is ready in TrainingPeaks.
