IRONMAN 70.3 Phu Quoc.
Race Phú Quốc on your terms.
Phú Quốc's resort coastline is an attractive place to race. The sea and the roads of the southern island should not persuade you to spend the whole race on the bike. Your half marathon still begins after that view has passed.

Your day in Phú Quốc
What could you race?
I’m Tom, the coach behind Sense Endurance Coaching. Tell me where you are now and I’ll show you what a strong day in Phú Quốc could look like.
The course behind your race
A resort start isn't permission for a holiday pace plan.
Phú Quốc Marina gives this race a resort setting, but the southern island roads and the coastal run demand serious pacing. Let the sea and heat dictate how carefully you start. The 2026 bike turns and run loops still need their final map, so don't plan your strongest move for a landmark that may not be on the course.
Southern Phú Quốc roads, early bike stage
Find sustainable power before the open road tempts you
The fast 15 km straightaway with no sharp turns tempts an early charge. Hold your target number instead.
Cap opening effort. Fuel early.
Southern island roads, later bike stage
Keep drinking and avoid banking minutes
Finish planned nutrition and hold effort before the two-loop beachfront run.
Stay patient. Finish planned nutrition.
Phú Quốc seaside half marathon, start
Run the first kilometres with patience
Let the first beachfront loop feel easy, not fast.
Easy first aid station. Check posture.
Resort-area finish, final run
Build only when the earlier running has held
Only progress once the first loop has held together.
Stay tall. Choose the last move late.
What to check in race week
Check the November 2026 beach start, 90 km southern-island bike roads, seaside half-marathon route and Marina transition. Confirm lap counts, sea conditions, aid and cooling before fixing effort targets.

Your plan, in race week
Prepare for Phú Quốc
Build the legs.
Practise the decisions.
A finish range gives you something to work towards. The preparation is specific to this race: measured sea swimming, controlled island-road power and comfortable opening run effort are rehearsed as a single half-distance performance.
I’m Tom. With Sense Endurance Coaching, I’ll build that preparation around your life, follow how you respond and adjust the work as you get closer to Phú Quốc.
