@Dov Sharon

Here's your personal Coach 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 Notes

    I did not race in 2019, I completed outsession and race a portion of race specific training, but decide not to race due to move and work conflicts casual training 3-4 times a week mixed of running and cycling , most sessions are less then 30 minutes


    Let's get to work!
