PRICES WILL BE CONFIRMED DURING AUGUST 2010 FOR A FANTASTIC WEEK OF PROFESSIONAL COACHING, TESTING AND RIDING. PRE BOOK NOW TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT !

There is more to becoming a better rider than grinding out the miles and these camps will DELIVER a much more COMPLETE TRAINING WEEK that will take your training to the NEXT LEVEL.

TRAIN IN SPAIN has teamed up with SPORTSTEST’S Dr Garry Palmer, a leading sports coach and author of the highly successful “Cycling: Successful Sportives”, to put together a comprehensive week of training on and off the bike. This will be THE training camp for those riders who want to gain the edge for the season ahead.

Exercise + Science = Results.

The increased use of lab-based sports testing in recent years has considerably raised awareness of the impact of sports science on training and performance, but how do you apply it to your own training? Look no further, Garry will be on hand to advise you and to answer your specific questions.

Look at how much Garry will cover with you on this camp:

  • Training phases
  • Goal-setting
  • Physiological assessment
  • Principles of heart rate training
  • Power creation and output
  • Different levels of training and how and when to use them
  • Nutrition
  • Rest and recovery, tapering and over-training
  • Race day preparations and planning
  • and, of course, on the bike feedback

Where else will you get such a complete package in one week for such an amazing price?

Please note that places will be strictly limited to ensure that every guest receives a high level of attention from Garry. Book now to avoid disappointment.

 

What else can you expect?

guadalest climbAs a rider you will have an unforgettable week of riding on the best training roads in Europe. From Astana to Quickstep, the Marina Alta region is the choice destination for winter training camps. It is also the home of top riders including Chris Horner, Oscar Freire, Alexander Kolobnev, Julian Dean and Trent Lowe.

From our Denia base you will have access to all of the climbing and descending you could wish for including several of the climbs from the 2009 and 2010 Vueltas. We will take you on routes that are peppered with short, sharp ramps that are just waiting to be attacked, as well as climbs of 20-25 kms that are perfect for building your climbing endurance.

And rather than rain and traffic, you will be surrounded by mountain sides full of almond trees and orange and lemon groves.

 

PLEASE NOTE FLIGHT TIMES BELOW WERE FOR 2010, THEY MAY NOT APPLY TO 2011. .WE ASK RIDERS TO BOOK A FLIGHT WHENEVER POSSIBLE FOR THE MID-DAY PICK-UP (12.30).
