Ken Smith Official Coach Thread [PlanEN]

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 Monday & Friday 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.
