BTW, I'm 55 and will be retired next spring and hope to make training and racing a full time effort (at least 15 hours/week). I think a coach will help me plan out my workouts and race season and not overtrain like I did earlier this year.
ain't that the truth. You need to be an engineer to figure out what he's talking about.
