Your runway

31 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 block starts closer in; what you do now decides how high it can climb.

R
Recover
Consider recovery context, sleep and readiness before adding training load.
A
Align
Fit the plan to your actual life, not the one you wish you had.
C
Condition
Minimum effective dose. The right sessions, done fresh.
E
Execute
Race-week protocol, pacing, contingency. Nothing new on race day.

Building for this one? T100 training support 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.

Road to Race

Build my complete road.

Commit to the date and the work gets a shape: your countdown starts, the emails arrive in step with your build, and the app anchors a recovery-led block so the final week lands exactly on race day.

One confirmation email, then the road begins. Registering for the race itself stays with the organiser.

Already have the app, or want it? The app takes this race and builds the block around it.

“The bike is three fast laps on a closed highway and the run is four flat laps on the beachfront boulevard, so plan fuelling around the loops.”

How long do I need to train for it?

Race day is 9 May 2027. For T100's 2 km swim, 80 km bike and 18 km run, a proper recovery-led build wants about 12 weeks, which means starting around 14 February 2027. Later starts still work: the block compresses honestly rather than pretending, and it always anchors to the exact race date.
