Triathlon Training Weekend in the Lake District

Created On: 18 January 2012

The Base Camp training weekends started 8 year ago as a crazy training weekend for a few friends and developed into regular Endurance Coach calendar fillers. The 2 day training camp takes place in the heart of the Lake District, on the shores of Windermere. Our forest dorm/cabin accommodation is pretty basic but an amazing location!

Friday evening includes a head torch run at 7:00pm for the super keen, before the real fun starts Saturday morning with a long cycle ride through the Cumbrian countryside. Saturday afternoon includes a theory session and then swim practical to include video analysis. Following all that, there is a group meal Saturday evening in the local pub (paid on the night), followed by the Base Camp quiz!

Sunday is a relatively early start and a 1.5-2 hour steady run on trails. After lunch you have the opportunity to sit down with a coach and go through all your video clips from the previous day swimming.

The whole weekend costs £95 excluding the meal on Saturday evening and all abilities are welcome but you should be capable of cycling for 3-4 hours and running 1.5 hours (speed not important).

This is a great opportunity to kick start your year and get some great advice!!
