What the plan looks like for this date
Built for olympic on January 30, 2027, at 8 hours a week across 5 training days. Your own numbers change the heights of the bars, not the shape of the plan.
- Base3 wks
- Build4 wks
- Peak3 wks
- Taper2 wks
The last week before the race carries 54% of the peak week's volume, and keeps its race-pace work. A taper sheds volume, never intensity.

How long before 5150 Nelson Mandela Bay should I start training?
From today there are 12 weeks, which is what the plan above is built on. A middle-distance race wants 20 weeks or more of structured work, a sprint far less. Starting later is not a reason not to start: the plan shortens the build rather than skipping the taper.
What if the date of 5150 Nelson Mandela Bay changes?
Change the race date and the plan is rebuilt around the new one, with the taper moved to match. Nothing you have already trained is lost in the process.
Can I train for another distance at 5150 Nelson Mandela Bay?
Yes. This race offers olympic, and each one gets its own plan, because the weeks that lead to a sprint and the weeks that lead to a long course are not the same weeks.
