A standing arrangement

Race Ready

A block, leading up to a date.

The arrangement

What you are on

It starts when the training does and it ends when the race does. People training towards something tend to come every week or two through the build-up, and the week of the event is the one everybody wants.

Nobody arranges one of these for the massage. They arrange it because the thing they do (a season, a build-up, a working week) asks the same of the same tissue over and over, and a time that is already in the diary is one fewer decision to make about it.

Arranged with Jonathan directly.

If that is recognisably the shape of your year, say so and ask what is actually free. These move when somebody's season ends, so the answer is sometimes not this month.

The rhythms that end up here

Run / endurance Most people training towards a date come in a block: every week or two through the build-up, then stop when the race does. The whole arc, week by week
Cycling Most people riding volume come every three or four weeks, and closer together through a block building towards a sportive or a long weekend. What the hours actually add up to

Whose words these are

Somebody already called it this

I've been seeing Jonathan for a couple of weeks in the build up to a massive event. He is definitely an expert in his field and has worked out some of the restrictions due to muscle tightness and has definitely got me race ready.

The other two

If that is not the shape of it

All three are the same hands and the same room: what differs is the rhythm and how long it runs. What a standing slot actually is, if that is the question underneath.

These are arranged in person rather than bought, and usually at the end of a session rather than before one. If you already know which of the three is yours, say so and Jonathan will tell you what is free.
