41 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.

“A hillier bike than the Provence postcards suggest, and it often gets hot. Fuel and cool early rather than reacting when you are already cooked.”

The race

Aix opens the European leg of the IRONMAN Pro Series, so the fields are strong. The swim is in the Lac de Peyrolles. The bike winds through Provencal countryside and climbs more than most people plan for. The run finishes on the Cours Mirabeau in the middle of Aix, which is one of the better finish straights in French racing. Expect heat by late May.
