Boston, Massachusetts - Performance Training Systems, PTS, has developed a revolutionary endurance training approach called The Program. Designed to fill the void between stand-alone training plans and hands-on personal coaching, The Program offers training plans personalized to meet each athlete's schedule, limiters, and training progress.

"The Program is tailor-made for each athlete," said Patrick McCrann, founder of PTS and developer of The Program. "What's really great is that the plan is fluid. Our coaching staff will tweak the plan according to schedule changes and update it as the season progresses and goals evolve. Most triathletes lead busy and sometimes unpredictable lives. I wanted to design something that would allow them to adapt their training on the fly without breaking the bank."

Athletes join by choosing an event group, with options ranging from Sprint to Iron Distance triathlons, and completing a profile that covers their personal athletic history and racing goals. A PTS coach - not a computer program - will then personalize each plan based on the online profile and monthly training progress; all workout notes and data are recorded at TrainingPeaks.com. Athletes connect with PTS coaches via an online forum, a monthly conference call, or during an online chat session. Access to the PTS online library of swim, bike, and running technique videos is also included. The Program costs $75 a month.
