Hybrid race training guide
Build a race simulation to learn one thing.
A useful simulation is not necessarily the longest or hardest session. It gives you a specific answer about how a work segment affects the next run, a transition or your pacing decision.
Safety: Choose work appropriate to your training history, use qualified coaching where needed, and stop for pain, dizziness or concerning symptoms. This is general educational information, not medical or individualized training advice.
Choose the constraint first.
Examples include holding a sustainable pace after a loaded effort, choosing a manageable transition, or checking whether a station is disproportionately expensive. Pick one. A simulation with no question often becomes a hard workout with no useful comparison.
Keep the split categories visible.
Record running, work and transition separately. If the full time changes but you do not know which category moved, the next training decision is still guesswork.
Repeat a comparable version.
Use a clear target, record the actual result and retain the same basic conditions when you test again. StationPace is being built to make that comparison easy without claiming official event equivalence.
