Coach Philip has turned me from a tired, middle aged mum into something that resembles a swimmer. The TTH coached morning swim sessions are worth the early starts.
I've improved across all disciplines since beginning coaching with TTH. I achieved all my season aims and feel the coaches listen to what you want to achieve and tailor sessions to fit around you and your time/lifestyle. Wish I'd started sooner!
Awesome weekend of training with Tri Training Harder and Fairlight Lodge. The sessions were challenging, but with a good variety to suit us all, and allow us to train together even with different speeds in the group. The accommodation and food were brilliant - Jude and Karl did a great job of looking after us and knowing what hungry triathletes need to get the best out of the sessions. Great fun training with other people - a really enjoyable weekend :-)
I attended the TTH Norfolk training camp weekend in May 2021. Accommodation was brilliant and the hosts Jude and Karl were generous and so helpful. The whole weekend was excellent from the coaching sessions to the feedback after. I will be returning again hopefully before too long!
TTH helped me achieve my target times and better them. The process was attuned to my needs, adapted to my lifestyle and took into consideration aspects of joint mobility and core strength that I had not been addressing. Some years ago after a major injury I set targets set to pre injury levels, to be achieved within 2 years. Unfortunately a secondary injury set that timeline back. I felt as if I was paddling upstream but not making any way. Last year my friends encouraged me to do a longer event but then they too got injured and dropped out! I joined up with TTH in the spring of this year and they helped me to better target times, than I had felt were possible. I am very grateful for the cheerful and positive encouragement.
Training was very good, started with just swimming then drills for everyone, video analysis and then more specified drills tailored for the individuals. The instructor had us picking fault with each other stroke which I felt helped us understand the flaws with our own stroke better.
Really enjoyed the day and took a lot from it, have seen an increase in speed and reduced swim times since the course
Absolutely loved this course, and would recommend it 100%. Very well run and organised, the coach was exceptional, and really took his time to fully explain and demonstrate drills to help rectify errors in my swim stroke.
The video analysis and feedback were invaluable, and having another go in the pool after watching the video to put into practice what we had been told, only helped to embed the information. We then had another video analysis to view after this feedback. Very good service to do this twice.
Once home I received links to my videos and also detailed instructions on what I needed to do to further improve my swimming.
Thanks to all at Tri Training Harder.
I have no hesitation in recommending Tri Training Harder. My coach is extremely approachable and has adapted my training to my home life, race goals and available time.

I spent one week with the TTH team in the Algarves. It was a life changing experience to work with this talented team who guided me through a week of personalized coaching. The location is perfect for cycling (at all levels), plus the running sessions focus on improving technique through track time to cross country courses. The swim lessons ranged from a 50m pool to open water swims.
After long days of training, I would return to my lovely condo where a full meal was prepared by the knowledgeable chefs who are part of the TTH team.
I received an Athletes Report which was a good summary of the things that I need to work on to improve my training over the next months.
I will be returning and can not recommend TTH highly enough….take the leap, it will be worth every single minute!

Well when I signed up with TTH I was fairly unfit and out of practice and 7 months later I did a half-Ironman triathlon so that says a lot :)

Another wonderful week in Vilamoura. The cycling is always the favourite of our group and this year was no exception - maybe a little longer main ride next time! So very much stronger with each visit thanks to the patient and attentive coaching. The support from Scott and Lynne, both with the wonderful food and their joining us on various activities, is amazing. We rub shoulders with athletes who are training for amazing challenges and their enthusiasm is infectious - the coaches put them through their paces! and they always come back after long rides, runs or swims with a smile!
Would recommend this week to anyone wanting to "Tri Something New" - no need to be an elite athlete, we all need to start from somewhere - the encouragement and support is amazing.

Great week. Expert coaching and great coach to athlete ratios. Learn more about running and swim technique in 1 week than I had in the previous 50 years. Also worth mentioning that accommodation and fodd were of a high standard not to mention the picturesque bike rides. I will be back and would recommend to anyone who wants to improve.

Great experience, time was taken to ensure each individual knows where improvements need to be made.

Tri Training Harder accommodated my bespoke request to look specifically at running and swimming analysis all in one day. Rather than telling me when I could fit in with their programme they deployed trainers to enable my request to be achieved. Verbal feedback on the day was constructive and I am pleased with the written report I have received along with the ability to access the videos taken on the day.

The holiday at Tri Training Harder was far beyond anything I expected. The coaches, the food, the accommodation, the training, everything was so great. It suits everyones needs, from the semi-pro's to the beginners, there's so much to learn. I was a bit scared in the beginning, especially with the rides in the mountains, but the coaches were so nice and helpful, I did far more than I ever thought I could! Would totally recommend this to everyone who wants to boost their training!

This is my second visit and i would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to work on their triathlon goals. The entire week is geared to making you feel like a professional triathlete, with a tough but achievable training plan, more than enough food provided and supportive coaches at all times. It does look expensive on first sight but this price includes all coaching and almost all meals. When adding up the cost for other locations then this is generally good value, which when combined with the quality of the coaching makes it a great way to spend a week.

A great training week, in particular the cycle training up some fair hills of the Monchique mountains, pool swim coaching and on-site physio. Accommodation and food was top notch and along with the very supportive coaches made for an excellent and fun week.
Holiday Guest, Andy T
I had a super week, incredible attention from the coaches giving such valuable advice. Great support with physio on hand, fabulous food and 5 star accommodation. This training holiday could suit any level.

I recently enjoyed a wonderful week at the TTH training camp on the Algarve with several other club members. I cannot recommend this company highly enough for the their ability to adapt the programme to triathletes of all abilities. This is very much a personalised service with small group/individual coaching of a very high standard covering all disciplines, including transitions, with video analysis and drills. I was concerned my nutrition might be compromised, being a typical fussy triathlete, but the resident chefs provided individual, very tasty meals to cover all requirements, and all included in the price. Whether you are an elite triathlete preparing for Kona or just beginning your triathlon journey you need look no further than this company to meet your every need. I look forward to returning.
