Triathlon Long Distance Training Camp with Richard Hobson

25 Feb 2010 to 04 Mar 2010

EARLY BOOKING DISCOUNT ON CLUB LA SANTA APARTMENTS FOR THIS CAMP IF BOOKED BEFORE 30th SEPTEMBER 2009

Aimed specifically at athletes who are training for Ironman events – in Particular Ironman Lanzarote 2010.

Cards on the table! This week is just as much about me getting into shape for Ironman as it will be for the participants on the camp! Not many people know this but I have registered for Lanzarote IM 2010. It is over 10 years ago since I last raced an Ironman but I do remember what it takes.

So this is a chance to join me on what I know is going to be a painful but hopefully successful and rewarding journey. This week will not be just about what I need to do, it will be about what everyone needs to do.

It is an Ironman specific training camp and little emphasis will be placed onto technique and no time spent in the lecture room. However every session will be planned out and explained well in advance so that everyone goes into every session with clear goals and expectations. There will also be plenty of time for informal chat over coffee!

180km is much further than 40km!!!

The aims of the camp will be:

•For a high volume week of training
•An extra emphasis on the cycling (as this is the hardest one to train for in the Uk winter)
•To include key race specific Ironman conditioning sessions
•To work on the Mental toughness required for Ironman
•To consider good recovery

The course is aimed at anyone who realises the need for quality winter training to be able to complete an Ironman. Levels or abilities are not a factor as much of the training will be at individuals paces.

Limit of between 15 and 20 athletes – (5 places reserved for TriLiving Athletes)
