46 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.

“They start it with a cannon fired from Hamlet's castle and the run circles the castle itself. It sold out in under seven hours last time, so set a reminder.”

The race

Elsinore is one of the most atmospheric races in Europe. The swim starts in the harbour under Kronborg, the castle Shakespeare used for Hamlet, sent off by a cannon. The bike rolls through North Zealand woodland and countryside. The run circles the castle and the old town. It is a Gold tier race with a serious prize purse, and entries disappear in hours rather than weeks.
