Location

With its strong winds and hills, Lanzarote is the perfect location for a training camp. As home to the famous Ironman Lanzarote you can be sure the island will challenge you.

March is a great time to train in Lanzarote, with an average temperature of 18C, little rain and generally lighter winds.

Sands Beach Resort in Costa Teguise will provide high quality half board accommodation for the week. The resort includes a 25m pool, trails for running and easy access to Lanzarote's cycling routes.

Itinerary

The focus for this camp is early season training volume, a hint of competition and some fun. Each day will involve swim, bike and run: coached sessions in the 25m pool, guided rides around the island, including the Ironman course, and daily run options to complete the training.

Cycling will make up the majority of the training during the week. We'll also spend a lot of time in the pool working on fitness and technique. The run program is lighter in volume, but makes up for it with some challenging sets.

Sessions will incorporate sections of the Ironman bike course and the Lanzarote 70.3 bike course, along with the traditional time trial up Tabayesco.

Athletes

The camp is open to athletes of all abilities. While the program has been developed with Ironman and Half Ironman athletes in mind, the daily schedule is flexible and can be adapted to suit a range of needs. Previous camps have successfully hosted novice triathletes through to those racing professionally.

To get the most from the camp athletes should be prepared to train every day, potentially pushing themselves a little further than before. There will be between 2 and 7 hours of training scheduled per day, although this can be adapted to suit individual needs.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact Russ.
