Your day in Naama Bay
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 Naama Bay could look like.
The course behind your race
Count the highway laps without racing them.
The two short laps sit inside a longer ninety-kilometre ride. Keep the same effort through the approach, repeats and return so the three-loop run starts with a plan you can still hold.
El Salam Road and highway · opening bike
Set your effort before the repeated section.
With little terrain to force pacing discipline, it's easy to override on this smooth, rolling highway. Hold your number regardless of how easy it feels.
Cap opening effort. Fuel early.
Towards T2 · remaining bike
Keep the return as controlled as the laps.
Maintain your opening effort and finish planned nutrition before the three-loop run.
Stay patient. Finish planned nutrition.
Urban and coastal roads · run loop one
Choose a pace that leaves room for cooling.
Let the first urban-and-coastal loop feel easy, not fast, and manage the heat from the start.
Easy first aid station. Check posture.
Run loops two and three
Use the repeats to check effort, not just time.
Repeat the first loop's effort rather than letting it drift in the heat.
Stay tall. Keep fuelling.
Urban and coastal roads · final run loop
Decide what the first two loops left you.
Only progress on the final loop once the first two have held together.
Choose the last move late.
What to check in race week
Locate the Naama Bay swim exit and transition, then check the complete highway lap sequence. Use the forecast to decide your cooling routine and confirm the aid and cooling supplies available on course.

Prepare for Naama Bay
Build the legs.
Practise the decisions.
A finish range gives you something to work towards. The preparation is specific to this race: Training has to make a smooth rolling ride controlled enough to leave three urban and coastal run loops at a steady effort.
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 Naama Bay.
