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
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Holiday Feedback
 
“Hello Embrace people and runners out there, I went for a week training in Portugal last month and improved my half marathon PB by 3.5 minutes yesterday. The training was a lot of fun although I didn't think so then running up the hills!! But it definitely worked for me. Shame i lost my tan :( (but not my stamina!!) Thanks!!” Sandrine Gonnet, Paris
“It was a brilliant holiday- I never knew I could run, swim, volleyball, drink and eat so much in one week. Such a beautiful location, and running was only a part of it. Thanks for the experience!” Liz Ard, Australia
“GREAT week in Lagos. Thanks to Neil, Graeme and Eric for superior triathlon coaching and a lot of fun. This was a perfect balance of training, R&R and fun. These guys really know how to put on a camp. Unforgettable... :-)” Jodi Bump, Alabama
 
 
*Sorry this holiday is now fully booked. See our calendar for more holiday dates*
 
Embrace will be leading open water swimming sessions in the beautiful Wimbleball Lake allowing you to practice wetsuit swimming, learn open water techniques, drafting and transitional changes. We will also be cycling the same roads as the UK ironman and Exmoor Beast races and holding a mini time trial to practice race pacing. A brick session learning to run off the bike will be the last session before relaxing with a much deserved pub lunch before heading home.
