Your day in Royal Victoria Dock
What could you race?
I’m Tom, the coach behind Sense Endurance Coaching. Tell me where you are now and I’ll show you what a strong day in Royal Victoria Dock could look like.
The course behind your race
Flat, fast and easy to over-ride.
London offers a calm dock swim, closed-road city laps and a flat run. Fast ground rewards the athlete who holds back early, because three repeated bike laps and four run laps show every mistake in turn.
Lap 2
Re-enter and hold the same rhythm.
The Aussie exit is a natural reset. Check effort before you start the second lap.
Reset at the exit. Turn left after lap one.
Lap 1
Ride the first lap below your ceiling.
Landmarks and closed roads tempt a fast opening. Cap early power and fuel from the start.
Cap opening power. Fuel early.
Lap 2
Repeat lap one, not the rider ahead.
The middle lap is where an over-ridden opening starts to show. Match lap one's effort.
Match lap one's effort. Fuel on schedule.
Lap 3
Protect the run.
Keep effort steady and finish your nutrition before T2.
Hold effort steady. Finish nutrition before T2.
Lap 1
Open easy on the flat lap.
A flat course tempts a fast opening. Run the first lap a shade slower than goal pace.
Hold opening pace. Take aid each lap.
Laps 2-3
Use the middle laps as your checkpoint.
Each lap past the same point is an honest read on how the bike went.
Compare each lap. Adjust deliberately.
Lap 4
Race what you saved.
Progress only once form has held across the first three laps.
Check posture. Choose the last move late.
