18 weeks to race day: assess the build
There may be room for a recovery-led block. The starting point depends on the training you have already done, your available time and your readiness. Anchor the work to the confirmed race date.
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.
Check whether my runway is realistic.
Commit to the date and we will walk you to it: a countdown, honest guidance by email, and the debrief afterwards. Full adaptive training for running races is coming; nothing here pretends otherwise.
One confirmation email, then the road begins. Registering for the race itself stays with the organiser.
“February needs a start line. This is the race that keeps a winter block honest when the sofa is winning.”
The race
The course
No course maps for this race. The organiser publishes no downloadable route for any leg of this race, so there is nothing to draw a course map from. Everything below comes from the official course page, checked on the date at the foot of this section.
Closed roads through central London in February, past the historic architecture around Bank. The organiser marks the course with themed points rather than kilometre landmarks: dancing penguins at Bank, a snowy summit at 5km, and polar bears at the finish. It is a costume-and-crowd race rather than a time trial, though the roads are flat and closed.
Not yet confirmed for this edition: exact route, elevation gain, cut-off times, start time. We publish these only once they are on the official course page, so check there before you pace off anything here.
