"I can't recommend a week's training with Embrace Sports highly enough! Just back from my second trip and already planning the next. Graeme and Neil have put together a training plan that caters for all abilities that is varied, challenging and fun! The Algarve is the perfect setting and you'll come home with a real sense of achievement, motivation to keep pushing yourself and a great tan too!"

"In the words of Albert Einstein, "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results". This week proved to me that I'm pretty insane -I've been training in the same way for years and been surprised I've not improved. Graeme has highlighted the need to record my training sessions and to have a proper training schedule. Approaching 40 is not an excuse for not running PBs!"

Benefits of a training holiday

1) Great holiday location:
Training holiday locations are selected against a checklist of criteria to make sure they are viable locations to host a camp. One of these criteria should answer the question “Is it a good holiday location outside of training?”...more
 
 
 
 
Marathon Training Holidays
        

Embrace hosts 4 specialised marathon training holidays throughout the year. They are perfectly placed to the lead up to the Spring and Autum marathons. The holidays cater for all abilities from first timers to the seasonal marathon runner.

Embrace Running
   
Whatever flavour your terrain is... we got it!:
Our locations were originally selected because of the beauty of the running routes that we discovered. The Algarve host's breathtaking coastal tracks, woodland trail runs and flat beaches that span over 6km. The Pyrenees puts size into perspective as you are dwarfed when running by (or up!) the enormous surrounding cols. Exmoor has the famous Wimbleball lake with amazing wildlife, trail paths and true English countryside roads. Throw in a quality running track in at each location and what more could a runner want?!
 
   
A bit of this... A bit of that:
We mix each week up to showcase the best of what each location has to offer. All our routes are suitable for a novice through to a championship runner. We normally run two sessions a day and will sit with you at the start of the week to go over what sessions will be most beneficial for you. With clear markings, hydration and Embrace leading the way, you will find the running not only challenging but very rewarding!
 
   
Trials, handicaps & runners = good tasting grapes:
Depending on what the group wants to achieve during the week we offer to hold either a timed distance run (5k, 10k, 10m, ½ marathon, 20m), or a friendly handicapped race. Being runners ourselves we know we all like a challenge from time to time. Plus it makes the vinho (wine) taste a little better in the evening!
