Your runway

50 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.

Race-week protocol, pacing, contingency. Nothing new on race day.

Building for this one? Ironman training plan covers the sessions, the weekly shape and how the block is paced. The R.A.C.E. Framework explains why it is built that way.

“The thinking athlete's iron distance. Flat enough to pace perfectly, honest enough to expose you if you don't.”

The race

Outlaw's full is where British athletes go long without an IRONMAN entry fee or ballot. The course profile means your result is almost entirely a pacing and fuelling exam, which is exactly what a recovery-led build prepares you for. Support on the run laps is constant, and the finish line at the regatta lake is one of the sport's best.
