What to expect on a Tri Training Harder Training Camp
Read below to hear our honest views about our training holidays and why we are really proud of them.
“All camps are not created equal.”
At Tri training harder we firmly believe this, and this statement is true even within our own range of camps. However, there is always one consistency throughout our camps and that is our coaching methodology.
We pride ourselves with an excellent coach development programme which results in first-class coaches applying their skills to support athletes of all abilities. We are the only UK coaching team who deliver a comprehensive and professional athlete report to every guest at the end of each camp to ensure our guests have the tools they need to take their new found skills, fitness and methodologies forwards and this stems from the professionalism of our coaches , of which we are very proud.
It’s not all work and no play…here our coach is…actually, we don’t really know what is going on here! A new training method? Coach carry?
There is a distinction that we really like when discussing training abroad and that is training escape v training camps. A training escape is usually organised between friends, an individual or a very small group and consists of simply training in better conditions. These sort of getaways are excellent fun and will certainly result in improved fitness and possible tan lines but the benefits usually end there.
Coaching is at the heart of what we do
This is where a Training Camp, especially one of ours, goes beyond just ‘training abroad’ and seeks to make meaningful and long-term developments in our guests’ fitness, technique and training attitude. Though we can improve training fitness, it is the relationship between the coach and the athlete (even if it isn’t your normal coach) that makes all the difference between a training camp and a training escape. Here, you can trust that the coach is watching, caring and ensuring that the right dose of training is applied at the key time. There is a clear goal on a training camp and it is our job to help you achieve it.
Ahhh….the Alps!
Not only do our coaches do an inspiring job of delivering training programmes to our guests but our camps look beyond that. We identify locations that offer training stimulus in beautiful locations with stunning scenery (with just the right amount of climbs!). In the Algarve for example, we have a catering team who bring that home-cooked attention to detail while giving you a taste of the Algarve. In the Alps, you can soak in the picturesque vistas while enjoying a meal in a typical French restaurant. For TTH, our coaches are not just coaches and our food and beverage team aren’t just for catering, but they are also there to host you in the location and give you a feel for the hospitality and family community that underpins Tri Training Harder.
We search for unique and quality facilities that help deliver challenging training experiences sweetened by breath-taking views. Who would have thought that the little Venice of the Syros camp in Greece would offer such excellent swimming and running training venues with a view worthy of a smile and a selfie if you had the energy to do so! While the quiet roads of the Algarve and the technical descents of the Alps mean training is always a pleasure.
Our camps offer different levels of accommodation. In the Algarve, we offer fully catered, 5-star accommodation and we cover the 360 degrees of an athletes welfare, from physio, to recovery smoothies. While on our smaller camps, we offer a location which will suit any budget and use our local expertise to ensure there is a friendly face showing you the local haunts.
Of course, what training camp would be complete without the obligatory cake stop. This is something that our coaching team take most seriously! In fact, one of our coaches kept a photo-diary of all the ice creams he had on one camp! We do try and ensure you get the best café stops on all your rides.
For Tri Training Harder, a Training Camp is more than a Training escape, we look to ensure that good facilities, excellent coaching and ideal training locations are the bare essentials. Thereafter, we look at providing quantifiable coaching improvements, for athletes of any standard while ensuring you are cared for, looked after hosted like the one of our Tri Training Harder family members that you will have become.
