Race season: how we train for Moloka'i Hoe
· By Manu Kealoha
The channel crossing rewards patience. Our plan has three phases:
- Base (weeks 1–5): long, easy distance, two technique sessions a week.
- Build (weeks 6–10): intervals at race pace, changes in open water.
- Taper (weeks 11–12): less volume, sharp starts, lots of rest.
The race-prep plan in the Training area follows the same steps.
