34 weeks to race day: base season

Plenty of runway. This far out, the win is a boring, consistent base rhythm: aerobic volume, strength, technique. The structured 12-week block starts later; what you do now decides how high it can climb.

Building for this one? Training plans cover the sessions, the weekly shape and how the block is paced. The R.A.C.E. Framework explains why it is built that way.

“The marathon you can actually get into. Two weeks before London, so it catches the same spring build if the ballot said no.”

The race

Brighton answers the question every London ballot reject asks: where do I run my spring marathon? The course tours the city before settling along the seafront, the crowds are genuine, and entry is first-come rather than lottery. The exposed seafront miles reward athletes who practised pacing into wind.
