Two weeks to arrive fresh
A flat course at sea level
Start on Avenida de María Luisa, finish on Paseo de las Delicias at Glorieta de Buenos Aires, passing Plaza de España, the Torre del Oro, the Giralda and the Maestranza. The organizer describes it as a flat circuit at sea level, sheltered from the wind.
It is the course where holding an even pace is easiest. The plan devotes its six central weeks to it, with 8-to-16 km blocks at marathon pace on flat ground.
A preparation that crosses winter
Late-February race: a 16-week plan from early November, or 12 weeks from early December. The end-of-year holidays land mid-preparation, then January brings the cold and long runs at night or at dawn.
The AI coach reads your actual sessions on Garmin: a lighter holiday week is absorbed without catching up. On icy days, ask it to adapt the planned session: it sends the new version to your watch.
Pacing strategy in Seville
With no hills or notable wind, the only possible mistake is going out too fast. The rule: first three kilometres at target pace plus 10 seconds, target pace to the 35th, then grit your teeth without speeding up.
- November-December: volume, long run up to 2 h, holidays absorbed.
- January: marathon-pace blocks, long runs up to 2 h 30 in the cold.
- February: taper, last long run three weeks out.
Save your finishing kick for Paseo de las Delicias, once the finish is in sight. The plan's "Race" session, scheduled on the watch, carries the pace range per segment.
