"I was unsure whether Tri Training Harder was for me as I am very much a novice triathlete. I was advised that the programme was tailored to suit individuals and that coaches would focus on my specific needs. The reality far exceeded my expectations.

Coaches were extremely supportive whilst pushing you to stretch yourself - very focused on you as an individual and encouraging you all the way.The food prepared each day was fabulous with a menu specifically designed to ensure you were getting the nutrients you needed to support the training. All in all a fabulous holiday that I thoroughly enjoyed."
