Your day in Kohala Coast
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 Kohala Coast could look like.
The course behind your race
The island makes patience visible.
Wind can make the bike look slow long before the effort is too high. Let the numbers and your breathing keep the day steady, then use the two-loop run to decide what is left.
Kohala Coast · lava-field bike
Let speed move with the wind.
Use planned effort through the exposed lava fields rather than chasing speed into the wind.
Hold planned effort. Fuel consistently.
Mauna Lani · two run loops
Use the first loop to decide how to race the second.
Start controlled and progress only when earned.
Easy first aid station. Stay tall.
What to check in race week
Check the final ocean-swim map, water conditions, wind and heat, then review the latest bike and run maps before setting pace targets. Plan hydration and cooling for exposure, but keep the plan flexible enough for conditions that differ from the forecast.

Your plan, in race week
Prepare for Kohala Coast
Build the legs.
Practise the decisions.
A finish range gives you something to work towards. The preparation is specific to this race: Practise sustained aero riding when speed fluctuates, fuelling in exposed conditions and running by effort over rolling ground. Hawaiʻi is less about forcing a fast split than staying composed when the island changes the cost of each kilometre.
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 Kohala Coast.
