The expert's opinion
This training camp is open to all triathletes, from regular athletes looking to structure their training to experienced athletes preparing for a specific goal. Prior participation in a training camp is not required to register. Groups are formed based on skill level, objectives, and race distances to ensure consistent and safe progress for everyone.
The volume and intensity of the workouts are adjustable. Each session offers adaptations that allow everyone to work within their current abilities, without performance pressure. The goal is to foster learning, confidence, and consistency, while generating a manageable workload. Yoga and recovery periods are integral to the program to promote assimilation and prevent excessive fatigue.
This training camp is aimed at athletes aiming for competition in the short or medium term, as well as those who wish to have a structured experience, progress technically and leave with concrete benchmarks for the rest of their season, in a supportive and demanding environment.
