Train your first 70.3 with us. Together.

Free 16-week training cohort. 12 solo amateurs racing their first half Ironman in spring 2027. An adaptive plan that bends with your real week, and a Sunday ritual that never gets cancelled. We are in our own prep too.

What we are doing

We are running a small, focused, free cohort for solo amateurs aiming at their first 70.3 in spring 2027. Marbella in April. Mallorca, Aix, Roth in May or June. You pick the race. We synchronize the prep.

From the week of 4 January 2027, every Sunday at 19h CET, the cohort meets on its private Strava group. You post your week, you read the others, the group keeps you honest. The plan itself is adjusted by the TriPaced engine when life moves your week, not by hand.

Before that, accepted athletes are onboarded in late October 2026 and run a light base phase through November and December, with the same Sunday ritual. You arrive in January already moving.

Who this is for

• Amateur athletes 25 to 50, training solo (no club, no paid coach)
• This is your first 70.3 (or first long-course race after a long break)
• You can hold 6 to 10 hours of training per week now, ready to ramp to 10 to 15
• You have completed at least one half marathon or one Olympic-distance triathlon
• You can commit to a 16-week weekly check-in cadence (Sunday 19h CET)
• You read English comfortably (training material is EN, group can speak FR or EN)

Who this is not for

• Athletes already finished a 70.3 or longer race
• Athletes who want one-to-one coaching, or a human reviewing every session (we would be selling you a lie)
• Athletes preparing a full IM in 2027 (this cohort is half distance only)
• Athletes who cannot commit at least 6 hours of training per week consistently

The shape of the 16 weeks

The plan adapts. Tuesday meeting ran late? The week shifts. Bad night with the baby? The intensity cuts 15 percent. Missed week sick? The plan welcomes you back, no reset. The work is in the weeks you wanted to skip.

What you actually get

• Sunday 19h CET cohort ritual on the private Strava group, 45 minutes, every week
• An adaptive plan generated and re-adjusted by the TriPaced engine when your week moves
• Eleven other people at the same point of the same build, which is the part you cannot buy
• Vincent in the group as an athlete doing his own prep, not as your coach

This is not coaching, and there is no human reviewing your sessions one by one. It is a small peer group and an engine. Promising you more would be selling you a lie.

Why we run this

TriPaced is being built for solo long-course athletes who train alone, work full-time, and want a plan that bends without breaking. The best way for us to build it right is to be in the trenches with you. You get free access to the plan and to the group. We get real users, real misses, real fixes that make the product better.

The price is zero. There is nothing to buy: no card, no paid tier, no upsell at the end. The seats are limited because a small cohort works and a big one does not. That is the whole business model of this cohort: there is none.

Timeline

Frequently asked questions

Is this really free? Yes. No card. No paywall. No upsell during the cohort. TriPaced is in open beta: there is nothing to buy. The cohort is part of how we build the product. Your only commitment is the time you spend training and showing up Sunday 19h.

What if I cannot make every Sunday check-in? Miss one or two over 16 weeks is fine. Miss more than three and we will check in to see if the cohort is still working for you. The check-ins are not optional fluff; they are how we adjust your plan.

What if my race date is not in spring 2027? Cohort is built around spring 2027 race day. If your race is earlier (March) or much later (July), the prep timing will not match the cohort. Apply only if your race day is between April and June 2027.

Will my Strava data be shared? Only with the cohort group, which is private. What you post, the eleven others see. No data leaves the group.

What happens after the race? The cohort ends after race day. You keep access to TriPaced in beta. We will likely run another cohort in 2027 for the next first-timers. You can stay around as a peer mentor if you want.
