6 weeks to race day: the sharpening window

A full build no longer fits, but a sharp one does. This close in, the job is specificity and freshness: race-pace touches, open-water or brick rehearsal, and a taper your nervous system actually absorbs. No heroics; arrive fresh.

R
Recover
Fix the nervous system first. Sleep, HRV, and the noise out.
A
Align
Fit the plan to your actual life, not the one you wish you had.
C
Condition
Minimum effective dose. The right sessions, done fresh.
E
Execute
Race-week protocol, pacing, contingency. Nothing new on race day.

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.

“The most East London race there is: fast course, good coffee, half the field in run clubs. Bring your crew.”

The race

Run Shoreditch is what the new wave of road racing looks like: a flat, fast closed-road half through East London with DJs on corners and half the run clubs in the city on the start line. It slots perfectly as a tune-up two weeks before an October half or four weeks before an autumn marathon.
