The Andy Potts program includes 3 options.
Option 1
PRICING:
$399/year $549/year* *includes strength training program Who is it for: You want something made just for you but are self sufficient and do not need monthly coaching, monitoring and adjustments. You have big goals and can’t use an ‘off the shelf’ training plan made by every other coaching group out there. You also want to be part of the AP Racing team and get all of the amazing sponsor benefits. How it works: One of our coaches is assigned to build out your annual training plan. We learn about you via Q&A's, phone calls + emails. Our coach takes about 2-4 weeks to plan the perfect season plan for you based on your race schedule, goals, life schedule and commitments. Timeline: Open Enrollment throughout the year. Once enrolled, program renewal is October 1st. |
Option 2
PRICING:
$399/year + $398/semi-annually (It works out to $100/mo) Who is it for: You love the idea of our completely custom annual training program but want a little more hand-holding or you are just unsure of your plans for the entire year right now. How it works: You sign up on our page. You are assigned a coach who will work with you throughout the year. Your coach works with you and build out a training plan for the first 3-4 months of the year or until your first milestone race. As we approach your first milestone, your assigned AP Racing coach checks in with you, answers questions, and build out the next phase of your training. Also, you get all of our team benefits- it pays for itself!! Timeline: Open Enrollment throughout the year. Once enrolled, program renewal is October 1st. Semi-annual Payments are Feb 1st and June 1st. |

How it works: Our staff and you work together to assign you a coach who works w/you regularly while the entire staff meets monthly to evaluate + plan your training (1-4 week blocks). Timeline: Open Enrollment throughout the year. This program has a 6 month minimum commitment. |
Coaching Review - Ryan Downey
The main reason I decided to join AP (Andy Potts) Racing was to get a different coaching approach. I felt like I had plateaued a bit in my training and wanted something different in order to get a bit faster in all disciplines for a busy 2022 season that had 2 Half Ironmans and 2 Full Ironmans on the calendar. Different is what I definitely got through the Pottshead+ program and it was what I needed that led to a fairly successful 2022 that included a 5th place podium finish at IM Alaska and 10th at IM Arizona. All of my disciplines improved, but most notably, I was stronger and improved the most on the bike and run.
The rides and runs were different in the way AP approached the workouts. I was used to very specific percentages of FTP and threshold for the bike and run. AP is focused on your Zones and gives you the flexibility within those zones for your workouts. For instance, if you have a bike workout that calls for 5 min at Zone 3, you can determine if that is low, middle, or high in that zone based upon how you feel that day and your previous workload. Sometimes right at the beginning of Zone 3 was good for me and other times I could muster the strength to go middle to higher in the zone (just don’t always go for the low end in the zone). Same thing for the run and swim as well.
Also on the workouts, it would state low end zone or build within the zone within the interval. Getting to know my zones versus specific percentage targets was a bit of an adjustment, but like anything, you dial it in and get to know them. My plan was adjusted every quarter and I was able to get in almost 100% of my workouts every week but often times I would move them around day to day to adjust to life stuff- no problem at all. I’m a guy that prefers to have my plan/workouts laid out for me and then it’s up to me to execute it and that’s exactly what AP Racing gave me. I’m continuing to have them coach me through less busy 2023 race schedule with a focus on sharpening the blade to setup for a 2024 that could be busy If you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to ask! -Ryan
