The Playitas Resort has been voted one of Europe’s top triathlon training centres by professional triathletes, coaches and specialised publications, and it’s where the triathlon elite prepare for the season.
The weather conditions allow year-round training in the outdoor 8 Lane 50M Olympic pool (wetsuits are allowed as well) and open water swimming from the beach right next to the resort which is only a few meters away. The pool also has a submerged viewing area so that stroke technique can be videoed and analysed for one to one feedback. Running routes ranging from 1.4 to 23 km start right at the resort as well and there are ideal cycling conditions due to the minimal traffic and very well-kept roads. There is a 4k dedicated cycle lane at the resort which can also be used for running, think 4k intervals and you’ll get the idea.. We will also have access to the full size running stadium during the week and this will all be scheduled for you.
The camp week will include 18-27 hours of training across all three disciplines. Under the guidance of a world class coach you will cover everything from open water swimming, videoed pool swim analysis concentrating on technique, beautiful rides with majestic climbs and rolling roads, to running effectively off the bike and seminars on fuelling and recovery, with a focus on building your base with the correct balance of speed work, everything you need to excel in your season ahead.
Remember most importantly that it is your week to enjoy so you can do as much or little of the training as you wish, you will each have different aims/goals for this week so it is important you keep these in mind during the week and communicate these to the coach to ensure you’re working towards them.
We want this to be an enjoyable, rewarding and fun experience.
