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.

Power User Tip: Click the Star icon by the Title of this thread to subscribe, and you'll get email updates when I do reply.

Your Notes

I did Ironman lake placid in 2019 in addition to tinman tupper lake and other smaller races. Was slated to do the NYC half marathon in march and was aiming for 1:27 time. Ran a 70min 10 miler as a practice a month before, had some left in the tank that dayBeen exclusively running since we recently moved but now have my bike trainer set up and restarting today, swimming is closed due to covid 19.
