Love the daily workouts, but the shorthand always gets me as every coach is different. Not sure if it’s doable to get translations for the shorthand but if you could that would be really helpful.
Upvoted Leonardo! And – I’m the one posting them… Moving forward, I am going to ask coaches to add some notes to translate the shorthand. I’m not positive all will do it but it might help us move in the right direction.
Thank you Dan, really appreciate that

This might help explain the EN1 versus EN3 and the other “zones.” Every coach is a little different.
Very helpful article thank you for sharing it
