Deborah Haight Year One Micro Thread
Here's your personal Micro Thread, as promised. This is where you'll return to post all your "coach" questions as responses; I'll see them and reply. This first post is here to guide you through your first year on EN, so you can always come back here.
As you'll see in this forum, I handle all manner of edits and changes. So post away, know that I reply here usually M/W/F each week.

Your Level: Beginner
I tried one-on-one coaching for a few months. But, it's not working well. I want to become more self-reliant. Although my weekly plan called for 13 hours of training, I had no specific goals and wasn't sure what to be focused on.
Your Races
Season Update
These are your recommended training plans, including the date you should start each one (sometimes you won’t complete a full plan but transition to another one).

Coach Notes
Ok, this year is the year of RUN FOCUS for you, kicking off with our Run Durability Program (RDP) program...learn more here: How to Train This (And Every Fall) Inside Endurance Nation. Then you exit one week early and it's into the OutSeason Plan. Then you move right to the Half Plan to prepare for CDA 70.3®.
Let me know what your limiters are this year and let's get to work!
