Your runway

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 block starts closer in; what you do now decides how high it can climb.

R
Recover
Consider recovery context, sleep and readiness before adding training load.
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? T100 training support 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.

“Cold water is the main variable: the organiser lists a 14-18°C ocean swim. Practise cold-water entries and open-water sighting, and rehearse the transition from a cold swim to the bike. The run is listed as packed trail, so include some off-road running.”

Abraham Spring: founder, Unbroken
