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
