Thanks! Looking forward to listening! I bought the “Discover” book when it was first offered. Any additions? Did my 50 mi. (skipped over 50k) in Nov. and plan some timed races coming up. Everyone asking about 100. Not sure!l Thanks. B.J. (60 in March)
Hey BJ! Thanks for listening. DYU has several new training plans a few new features, but nothing for the 100 yet.
Good luck with the 60! That’s awesome!
