45 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.

“Flat does not mean easy in the Netherlands. There is no shelter on the polder roads, so ride to power or effort rather than to speed.”

The race

Westfriesland is as flat as racing gets, and that is exactly why the wind matters so much. There is nothing to hide behind on the polder roads, so a disciplined athlete riding to power will beat a stronger one riding to the speed on their computer. Easy to reach from the UK, which makes it a very manageable first overseas 70.3.
