Your runway

44 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? Olympic distance 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.

“A proper test with thirty years of history. The Thames swim reads scarier than it is: you swim with the current.”

The race

Windsor has been run since 1991 and it feels like it: organised, confident, loud. The river swim starts upstream and brings you back with the current, which flatters your time. The bike rolls through real countryside where pacing discipline matters. The run is three flat laps through the town centre with the castle above you and crowds the whole way. A brilliant first Olympic distance.
