Garmin (.FIT) files for Top 20 Run Workouts From Coach Ray

Back in 2019 I had published over 200 run workouts on my website. I took the 20 most popular workouts and published them in this easy to read eBook. Normally this eBook sells for $27, by itself. I’m in the process of transferring all my ebooks from my previous e-commerce store to this website, I’ve decided to add Garmin (.FIT) files for all the workouts within this eBook into a package. I’ve also thrown in some Zwift (.ZWO) files but they can’t be produced for ALL these workouts, so the ones that can have a Zwift file generated have.

Top 20 Run Workouts From Coach Ray eBook

With over 200 articles covering run workouts published when this ebook came out, I condensed it down to the Top 20 most popular run workouts. As viewed by people like you, the readers of my website.
I’m in the process of transferring all my ebooks from my previous e-commerce store to this website, so for now I’m offering them for only $7. Although I believe I have tested things thoroughly, I’m doing them for only $7 (saving $20 from the normal price) just on the off chance there is some bug in the system and there is s delay in getting the ebook to you.

Zwift (.ZWO) & Garmin (.FIT) files for Top 20 Cycle Workouts From Coach Ray
