28 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.

“February needs a start line. This is the race that keeps a winter block honest when the sofa is winning.”

The race

The Winter Run exists to give winter training a target, and it works. Closed roads through the City, a friendly field of every standard, and enough theatre, fake snow included, to make February feel like an occasion. Ideal first-ever 10k, and ideal discipline for anyone whose spring race needs a winter base.
