Your runway

47 weeks to race day: base season

Plenty of runway. This far out, the win is a boring, consistent base rhythm: aerobic volume, strength, technique. The structured block starts closer in; what you do now decides how high it can climb.

Recover
Fix the nervous system first. Sleep, HRV, and the noise out.

Race-week protocol, pacing, contingency. Nothing new on race day.

Building for this one? 70.3 training plan covers the sessions, the weekly shape and how the block is paced. The R.A.C.E. Framework explains why it is built that way.

“You swim in Germany, ride through Luxembourg and France, and finish back in Luxembourg. Three countries in one race is a very good story for the price of one entry.”

The race

Luxembourg is the novelty that turns out to be a genuinely good race. The swim starts on the German side of the Moselle. The bike crosses into France and back through Luxembourg's Moselle vineyards, which are rolling rather than flat. The run follows the riverbank and finishes in Remich. Compact, well run, and unlike anything on the UK calendar.

The course

No course maps for this race. IRONMAN publishes no downloadable route for any leg of this race, so there is nothing to draw a course map from. Everything below comes from the official course page, checked on the date at the foot of this section.

Swim1.9 km
One lap

One loop of the Moselle, starting from the Luxembourg bank and crossing to the German side. A river swim with a low current, which is rare at this distance and means sighting matters more than usual.

Bike90 km
One lap

One rolling loop through the vineyards and small towns of the Moselle valley, passing the Schengen Monument. Rolling rather than flat, so it rewards riding the small rises steadily rather than attacking them.

Run21.1 km
Lap count not published

Flat and fast along the riverbank through Remich, with the crowd close in on both sides. The official page does not state a lap count for this leg.

Not yet confirmed for this edition: run lap count, bike elevation gain, cut-off times, aid station spacing, course maps (no official GPX published). We publish these only once they are on the official course page, so check there before you pace off anything here.

How Much Harder Is a Full IRONMAN Than a 70.3?
