Getting into Endurance

But if it is, you would do best to contact someone locally about all the specifics.

Certainly the idea of doing long, slow distance and building up a base is universal.. but for us in the US, we don't have to do all the qualifying up in distance at specific times, etc that I think you need to do across the pond.

Hmmmm some will show it, but doesn't really count it.
