in Announcements 🎙

Folks, we have made some edits to the Ironman and Half Ironman plans to make sure that athletes with vDOTs lower than 31, or a 5k time greater than 30:00, were getting enough running in. 

I want to thank everyone who participated in this discussion....I have outlined the complete changes online in the wiki here, feel free to discuss below. 

I think this represents a big step forward for how we help _all_ our Members...thanks, Team!

    Thank you for this. As one of the 30-ish vdot-ers, this will be huge for my HIM prep this year and IM prep next year. In training for my previous HIMs and IMs, I followed the plan and had not-so-great runs. After learning more over the years from other EN'rs, I realized the importance of weekly mileage and due to my turtle-like running, I wasn't getting enough mileage.

    Look for some HIM PRs from me next year with even bigger improvements on the run!
