Plan Description

Every detail of our 36-week Full Distance Triathlon training plan is engineered to prepare you for the unique demands of the Cascais Full Distance Triathlon—from the chilly Atlantic swim to the coastal marathon finish.

If you're dreaming of crossing the finish line at your very first Full Distance Triathlon, this is your moment—and this is your plan. Specifically crafted for first-time triathletes, our 36-week training journey is designed to meet you where you are and guide you, step-by-step, to the shores of Cascais and through every swim stroke, pedal stroke, and stride toward your unforgettable finish.

🌊 Face the Ocean with Confidence
The race begins with a 3.8km swim in the breathtaking Cascais Bay. Nervous about open water? You’re not alone—but you won’t be unprepared. Our plan starts with a 12-week foundation phase packed with video-guided swim drills that build your technique, confidence, and calm for those cool Atlantic waters.

🚴 Build Strength for Every Kilometre
Next, you’ll take on Portugal’s iconic 180km bike course—past Guincho Beach, through the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, and even around the Estoril Formula 1 Circuit. This plan gradually increases your training load so you gain endurance without burnout, empowering you to enjoy every moment of this spectacular ride.

🏃 Run Toward the Strongest Version of Yourself
The final 42.2km marathon may sound daunting, but by the time race day comes, you’ll be ready. With three-loop runs, coastal views, and cheering crowds, you’ll feel every mile of preparation carry you forward. Strategic brick workouts and long runs teach your body and mind to go the distance—especially when it matters most.

🌟 What You’ll Gain:
✅ A safe, structured plan that grows with you—from 4.5 to 14.5 hours/week
✅ Specific guidance for open-water swim skills, endurance cycling, and run pacing
✅ Smart brick workouts to train for the swim-bike-run transitions
✅ Dynamic video tutorials to simplify technique
✅ Personalized email support from experienced coaches who believe in you

This isn't just a triathlon training plan—it's a belief system: that you're capable of more than you ever imagined. With every session, you’ll feel yourself growing stronger, more confident, and ready for the challenge ahead.

💥 You’ve got the dream. Now get the plan.
Step into your journey to the Full Distance Triathlon Portugal – Cascais today—and let us guide you all the way to that incredible finish line.
