   Build the engine: easy running volume, steady erg work, and technique on the stations you dislike most. Lunges and wall balls reward practice long before race day.

2. 8 Oct – 4 Nov8 to 4 weeks out

   Make it race-specific. Run straight after station work so your legs learn to run tired, and add heavier sled and carry sessions once a week.
