Plan Description

Conquer the Cairns Full Distance Triathlon With Confidence

Are you ready to take on the challenge of the Full Distance Triathlon Cairns? With its breathtaking views, tropical climate, and fast course, Cairns offers one of the most spectacular race settings in the world. But to truly race it strong—from the rolling swim start at Palm Cove to the final strides along the vibrant Cairns Esplanade—you need more than just motivation. You need a plan built to transform your fitness, sharpen your race execution, and get you to the finish line with strength and purpose.

✅ Why This 36-Week Full Distance Triathlon Training Plan Works
🔥 12-Week Base Phase
Lay the groundwork with smart, progressive training designed to build aerobic durability. Strength training, swim drills, and aerobic conditioning work together to develop your engine.

💪 24-Week Full Distance Triathlon Phase
With our proven 3:1 training cycle (3 weeks of focused training, 1 recovery week), you’ll train smarter—not just harder. Each week carefully builds your endurance, speed, and recovery capacity.

🏊‍♂️ Swim-Specific Training for Palm Cove
Master open-water skills, pacing, and sighting with structured sessions and instructional swim drill videos tailored for ocean swims like Cairns’ 3.8 km two-lap course.

🚴‍♂️ Crush the 180 km Coastal Bike Course
Train with heart rate and power-based intervals to prepare for the rolling terrain and scenic sections like Rex Lookout. Brick workouts simulate race-day demands so you transition smoothly.

🏃‍♂️ Run Strong on the Cairns Esplanade
Tackle the 4-lap, 42.2 km run course with long runs, tempo intervals, and heat adaptation strategies. Our progressive run build preps you for the energy and heat of race day (avg. 79°F/26°C).

📹 Complete Athlete Support
✅ Structured swim, bike, and run workouts
✅ VO2 max & anaerobic threshold intervals
✅ Detailed strength training sessions with video guidance
✅ Race rehearsal weekends
✅ Built-in taper for peak race performance
