This partnership will see all of Challenge Family\u2019s 44 full and half distance triathlons offer MaccaX custom training plans from 2015 onwards, delivered through interactive calendars online and on mobile devices.<\/p>\n

Macca, a four-time Challenge Roth champion and Challenge Family ambassador, is thrilled about the partnership. \u201cBelinda and I will be helping write and approve custom training plans (men\u2019s and women\u2019s) for all 43 of the Challenge races in 2015.<\/p>\n

\u201cBetter yet, we\u2019ve pledged to keep the prices way down, under US$50. We want these to be accessible to as many competitors as possible so they can have some solid structure in place and feel confident come race day that they\u2019ve done the work necessary to have a great day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Athletes will enjoy access to Macca, Belinda and other industry experts to answer their training and racing-related questions for better preparation.

\u201cWe place significant importance on our partnerships, providing real value to athletes of all abilities with a focus on unbeatable quality and building a true triathlon community.\u201d<\/p>\n
