Here's your updated Season Plan, 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 my best outline of how to proceed with your races, but you can ask any / all questions you want. So post away, know that I reply here usually M/W/F each week.

Coach Notes

Great to hear from you, Debbie! Sound like you have a great daily schedule...with some room to grow. I have lined up your year with our plans and how I recommend you focus your training. It's a gradual start as you'll be in the Run Durability Program for the first month before you bump up to go to the actual OutSeason®. I imagine that you and I, when we talk, will need to merge your lifestyle with our plans.

In the meantime, I'd love to see you on our Zwift weekend rides (Getting Started on Zwift). The planning text channel is here: GroupMe EN Zwift Events so you can see what folks are riding and when.

Please send me a link to your Strava account (or where your data lives so I can dive in!)

Let's get to work!
