このままでは means something like if things continue like this or at this rate.
It is a very common expression used when the speaker judges the current situation and warns about the likely result if nothing changes.
In this sentence:
- このままでは = if I keep going like this / at this pace
- result: 間に合わない = I won’t make it in time
So the structure is basically:
- このままでは + bad result
- If things stay as they are, a bad result will happen.
This is a common pattern: Noun/phrase + では.
Here:
- このまま = this state / as things are
- で = in/with that state
- は = adds contrast or sets the condition as the topic
So このままでは literally feels like:
- in this state, as for that...
- or more naturally, if it stays like this...
The は gives it a conditional, contrastive feel: if things remain this way (then...).
A casual spoken version is often:
- このままじゃ instead of このままでは
