Base first, then build, race-specific at the end. Every fourth week is lighter. In the last 3 weeks, race week included, the volume comes down and the intensity stays. Latu builds your real block around your week.Source 1Source 2Source 3Source 4
Three target times for race day
Even pace, race effort. The carbohydrate comes from the same fueling table as in the app. Practise large amounts in training, not on race day.Source 1Source 2
How the amount changes with duration and pace: Carbs per hour.
Your target time
Enter your own time. The race plan works out pace and carbs for exactly this race.
Latu builds the block for you.
Tell the coach your target time and when you can train. It plans the weeks until April 18, 2027 and adjusts them when something comes up. No change applies until you say yes.
