Your day in Salou
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 Salou could look like.
The course behind your race
A fast course rewards patience.
The organiser describes a fast bike and a flat run. Nothing slows you down for you, so the even pacer wins here.
First half
Set a number you can hold.
Fast closed roads make a high number feel easy. Cap it.
Cap opening power. Fuel early.
Second half
Protect the run.
Keep effort steady and drink as the day warms.
Hold effort steady. Finish nutrition before T2.
First half
Start slower than the flat invites.
Nothing on a flat seafront slows you down. Do it deliberately.
Hold opening pace for 2-3 km. Take every aid station.
Finish
Race what you saved.
Progress only once form has held.
Check posture. Choose the last move late.

Your plan, in race week
Prepare for Salou
Build the legs.
Practise the decisions.
A finish range gives you something to work towards. The preparation is specific to this race: the athlete can pace a fast closed-road bike evenly and hold back on a flat seafront run.
I’m Tom. With Sense Endurance Coaching, I’ll build that preparation around your life, follow how you respond and adjust the work as you get closer to Salou.
