Your day in Málaga
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 Málaga could look like.
The course behind your race
The Calle Larios finish is worth a quiet first kilometre.
The 2026 inaugural preview described a harbour start, seaside riding and a city run past La Malagueta towards Calle Larios. Keep that as a prior-edition picture until the organiser publishes the 2027 map, and save enough control for the closing streets.
Paseo del Parque transition
Leave T1 with a realistic cycling effort
The smooth, flat coast road makes it easy to ride harder than planned. Hold your target watts.
Watch the watts, not the speed. Fuel early.
Málaga coastal road, early bike
Let coast exposure move speed rather than watts
Use the open roads to hold effort and finish your nutrition before the coastal run.
Stay aero. Finish planned nutrition.
Málaga coast, bike return
Keep enough reserve to run well by the beach
Let the run out along the promenade feel easy, not fast.
Easy first aid station. Check posture.
La Malagueta to Calle Larios, run
Begin gently and finish with the city
Only progress once the promenade section has held together.
Stay tall. Choose the last move late.
What to check in race week
Check the organiser's 2027 guide for the harbour swim, transition, bike roads and run finish before making a route plan. The 2026 preview is useful context, not confirmation of this edition's turns. Confirm water rules, closures, aid and finish approach before race day.

Your plan, in race week
Prepare for Málaga
Build the legs.
Practise the decisions.
A finish range gives you something to work towards. The preparation is specific to this race: controlled harbour swimming and measured coastal effort leave enough strength to turn the last city kilometre into a finish rather than a rescue.
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 Málaga.
