Spent a fabulous week training with TTH. Very well organised with great coaches. A good balanced programme with plenty of activities but also some vital recovery time. Highly recommend.

We went as a mixed group of abilities and ages, and with some trepidation as to how it would work out. In the end I can't see how it could have been better. The coaches were excellent at mixing and matching the groups to ensure everyone felt included and got training relevant to them. We were worked hard but also had a lot of fun. The schedule was well thought through: having peaks in effort followed by appropriate rest. We had a catered apartment, and in spite of some wildly different dietary requirements, always had excellent food provided. A great training boost and lots of new things learnt. 100% recommended.

My coach Ed Brett knows me better than myself when it comes to getting ready for a race. No training session is the same and I can see what he focuses on. Whenever we chat he asks the right questions and puts this into the next set of sessions. I wouldn't want anyone else.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Tri Training Harder for a triathlon training holiday. There is a perfect balance of training and relaxation with your every need catered for in style and in comfort. The coaches are exceptional, providing expert knowledge and advice in a fun learning environment. An excellent, fun week of training where you are challenged and giving the confidence to achieve whatever training or race goal you have for the season ahead. Five stars!!

I am not part of the triathlon training but are joining Tri Training Harder for the third year with a group of women of a "certain age". We receive excellent training by helpful and knowledgeable coaches in a variety of sports, from cycling, swimming, Pilates, cross training to running, to mention some. I've stayed in the residence apartments which are superbly equipped and very comfortable. The food is excellent, tasty and nutritious. The location is amazing, too.

The training holidays in Portugal are a great way to get some quality warm weather training in throughout the year. The coaches are very knowledgeable and cater for all standards of athlete without prejudice. 

The food and accommodation are amongst the best you will find at a training camp location. With home made dishes made every day whilst you are out training that are ready for you when you return from a day of riding/running/swimming etc. Perfect

Tri Training Harder are the ultimate professionals (and that certainly doesn't mean a lack of fun along the way!). Their annual Portugal training camps are full of sand, sea and sun - not to mention breath taking scenery, venues, a few awesome hills and their top notch food -which certainly hits the spot! 

The training week is very well planned, with plenty of hints and tips along the way to improve your swim, bike, run skills. I have no hesitation in recommending them. They have always been on hand to answer the queries I have had and you can tell they just love what they do!! :)

Professional, comprehensive & fun training set in a fantastic location. Tasty, nutritious food delivered fresh every day to our comfortable rooms. Knowledgeable & enthusiastic coaches catering for all levels of triathlete between Paul aiming for a step on the age group podium & me ... a recreational triathlete taking a year out!

Thank you to all of the team

The coaching experience has been first class, they really take the time help understand your schedule with support always there if a last minute change is needed.

Contact has been really easy with a really positive and proactive approach to help you just get the sessions done.

In my time with Tri Training Harder all three disciplines have improved dramatically and I'm really excited about the 2017 race season approaching.

Online Coached Athlete, Dan Lubbock

Great area to train in. Enthusiastic and knowledgable coaches. All abilities catered for. First class accommodation and catering. Like minded holiday guests, makes for a fun week.

I enjoyed the training and Sorrel was very helpful in adapting the sessions to suit what I could manage and fit in other commitments with my Tri Club. The online system you use works well. I found some of the instructions a bit technical (I didn't know what my CSS was and hadn't done time trials). Also some of the swimming sessions assumed a pool rather than open water in a wetsuit. However, I set myself time goals for the 3 tri sections and met them all (within seconds anyway)!

Coached Athlete, Catherine Williams

It is so good to be able to arrive and not have to think about anything. Just training, eating and sleeping - all the rest is figured out for you. Everyone is incredibly friendly, the sessions are varied, and as hard as you make them, and the atmosphere is relaxed and light hearted.

Holiday Guest & Coached Athlete, Harriet Teare

Cannot fault the quality and breadth of the training programme thus far. Fantastic coaching that's tailored to suit a busy work-heavy Monday to Friday. Highly recommend.

Online Coached Athlete, Jon H

Great training camp run by friendly experienced coaches. Whether you're a complete novice or an experienced triathlete, a solo traveller or part of a large group or club, they cater for all. The Tri Training Harder Team have a wealth of knowledge and expertise to share, which is why I return year after year!

Holiday Guest, Janet Ling

In summary....my first trip to Portugal with tri training harder as a total novice ( just learned to swim and only just got a bike) was just to see if triathlon was for me and to see if I could manage it or alternatively totally hate it . In the next two years I was out in Portugal 4 times and absolutely loved it. With the support of tri training harder I progressed from uncoordinated moaner to getting a place in the world championships and also the European championships. I'm still loving it and managing to keep it real juggling a job I love, the socialising I love and also the multiple sports I love. hopng I can find time to get out to Portugal again for a fantastic triathlon break.... and some great wine and food :-)

Holiday Guest, Holly Laws

As an older, fairly novice triathlete I was more than a bit nervous about the course. But Philip and his team cater for all abilities and I loved it. it's a great set-up at Villamoura with everything on hand locally, including a superb 50m swimming pool. Portuguese roads are superb for long distance rides and the facilities include physio, excellent catering and above all top notch coaching. No hesitation in recommending Tri Training Harder to anyone, novice or seasoned.

Holiday Guest, Sue Beesley

Excellent coaches, very professional approach.

Coached Athlete, Hagai Shilo

That is all you need to kick start your season, great ambiance, great environment and just fabulous to work with the professional coaches and just suffer the training thrown at you. Even the physio makes you suffer to improve recovery ready for the next session. And, "cerise sur le gateau", the local duo ensure you are well fed and the engine topped up too.
