Plan Description

Conquer Cairns with Our 6-Month Full Distance Triathlon Training Plan!

Get race-ready for the Full Distance Triathlon Cairns—a stunning, world-class event featuring a 3.8 km ocean swim at Palm Cove, a 180 km ride along the breathtaking Captain Cook Highway, and a 42.2 km run through the vibrant Cairns Esplanade. This course is no joke—and neither is your training.

Our 6-month intermediate Full Distance Triathlon plan is built to prepare you physically and mentally for the terrain, conditions, and strategy needed to excel in Cairns.

✅ Tailored to the Cairns Course
• 🌊 Train for open-water conditions with progressive swim workouts that match the rolling-start, two-lap format of Palm Cove.
• 🚴‍♂️ Adapt to long flats and scenic climbs with interval and tempo bike sessions that simulate the coastal ride to Port Douglas.
• 🏃‍♂️ Prepare for the heat and multi-loop structure of the Esplanade run with customized brick workouts and pacing strategies.

✅ Smarter Structure, Stronger Results
• 🔄 3-week build / 1-week recovery cycles for optimal adaptation and injury prevention
• 🕒 Starts at 8 hours/week and builds to 16—maximizing progress without burnout
• 💪 Integrated strength, mobility, and recovery protocols to support endurance and power

✅ Tools to Train Like a Pro
• 🎥 AI-powered run gait analysis to fine-tune your form
• 🏊‍♀️ Swim drills with expert video instruction
• ⚡ Heart rate & power-based intervals for bike and run
• 📈 Training peaks-style structure with clear weekly goals

Cairns is a race that demands more than just desire—it takes focused preparation, strategy, and consistency. This plan gives you all three.

🎯 Stop guessing. Start executing. Train smarter and race stronger in Cairns.

Tap into the plan that gives intermediate triathletes the edge needed to own the Full Distance Triathlon.
