“Calling all fellow triathletes... this trip is a great way of taking time out to properly train and not just grab an hour here or there following a stressful day at work! The running and cycling routes are certainly both challenging and inspiring and the local 50 metre outside pool (yes outside!) is jaw dropping... it even convinced a reluctant swimmer (me!) to head there for a few extra sessions”

"I hadn't cycled in a big group before and really enjoyed working as a team. Both the climb up and rollercoaster down Monchique were equally epic. I really enjoyed the ocean swimming, it has given me a lot of confidence that Barcelona will be ok. The coastal runs were great, and seemed to fly by."

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

In 2010 the 36th edition took place between 17th - 21st of February. More than 200 cyclists and 23 national and international teams challenged each other to win this race.

Swimming
   
Open water swimming:
Whenever possible we like to do as much open water swim training as we can. We find a lot of guests don’t have access to this back at home so we like to spend the time teaching open water techniques, drafting and getting a general feel for the open water. Because of the climate and locations of our destinations, open water swimming is in abundance...more
 
   
Cycling
  
   
We admit we are a bit spoilt:
That is when it comes to cycling at our training destinations! Two Tour of the Algarve (“Volta ao Algarve”) stages are 5min minutes up the road from our villas in Portugal. In France we are based near the foot of the Tourmalet in the Pyrenees. And our location in Exmoor backs onto the national park which showcases the UK ironman and the Exmoor Beast cycle race...more
 
   
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?...more
