Beginners Triathlon Training Camp

31 Mar 2011 to 07 Apr 2011

FOR APARTMENTS AT CLUB LA SANTA. Please refer to the pricing tab.

Now in its fifth year, the Beginners Triathlon camp has been one of our most popular events. The camp will be based at Club La Santa, while the rides will take participants all around the different parts of the island.

The swimming will mainly be in our 50 metre pool but if you want to try an open water swim, we have our very own Lagoon, which is perfect for beginners, as there are no strong currents or big waves.

The runs will be held in and around Club La Santa, both on and off road and we will also do some work on the track.

The training

The camp will cater for all abilities from beginner to experienced who are interested in various distances – Sprint, Olympic or Long distance. In other words, this camp is for everybody. We will be aiming to improve your technical knowledge of the sport whilst also increasing your fitness.

On some evenings we will be holding lectures on various triathlon related subjects and we will have some open forums, where you can test the coaches’ knowledge and experience.

Athletes will have an option to be tested to find their heart rate zones for use in training and racing.

The week will begin with an introduction meeting Thursday and end with a night out to round off the week, starting with a dinner in the restaurant La Casa. Companions can participate by paying 24€ for a 3 course meal and a half bottle of wine.

We are hoping for a variety of nationalities but the spoken language will be English.

The Instruction Team

The head coach is resident Club La Santa coach Philip Price but we will also have some help from the Green Team. All of the team are familiar with the Island of Lanzarote

Phil Price

Phil is a coach at Club la Santa, with almost 30 years experience of coaching in Triathlon, Athletics, and Cycling. He’s the former Welsh Triathlon Coach and Manager, former Welsh Veteran 5 km track Champ, and many times County Champion
