Training Weeks

Our base in the alps has been specifically chosen for its location to training facilitites, luxury standard of accommodation, and high quality catered meal provision. We firmly believe that you shouldn't compromise quality recovery time when not training, with shopping, cooking, clearing up, finding a bike mechanic, travelling to nearby physios for massage etc.

Swim Training

We offer triathlon swim training in a squad environment at Richmond Pools on the Park, making use of their fantastic indoor and outdoor 33m pools. Our sessions are aimed at developing your efficiency and stroke mechanics for triathlon and open water swimming. Head coach, Fiona Ford set up the sessions in 2008 for triathletes and open water swimmers to enjoy training in a friendly squad environment. Feedback from our swimmers indicate the main benefits of squad swimming is access to quality coaching, uninterrupted lane swim time and a progressive program of sessions.

It's a lovely leaf-rustling, colourful Autumn for us here in the Northern hemisphere, and time to reflect on season performances to enhance the planning process for 2012. This time of year is also synonomous with having a planned break from structured training, enjoying a complete break from training 'letting down' and perhaps taking up a new sport or learning a new skill.
