Hi,

The 12 week beginner program is no longer an option on my screen. &nbsp;Was this removed? &nbsp;Is it coming back? &nbsp;Thanks.

Hi Roberta. &nbsp;It turned out it was actually the advanced plan so we renamed it to “12wk Winter Plan (advanced)”

Hi Jon,

&nbsp;

Thanks for the reply. &nbsp;I am hoping there will be a beginner program when you add more workouts in the future. &nbsp;Thanks.

Hi Jon

Ah - that makes sense - I rode the first few “beginner” sessions and it darn near killed me. After that there was no way I was going to even look at the advanced :-). I’m recovering from a crash so I am looking forward to the real beginner plan. &nbsp;
