Goalspecific Triathlon Training Camp – Alpe Dhuez France 2016

The Alpe Dhuez Triathlon Training week is offered to triathletes who are looking for an intense training week with high level technical coaching in an amazing mountainous environment, which will involve riding some of the great iconic alpine cols, including the 21 bends of Alpe Dhuez.

Due to the nature of the specific coaching, we have only 12 places available which will be distributed on a first come first served basis. Also, those that book before February 14th will receive an extra 10% discount of the cost on top of the existing discount!

Not only will you be developing your endurance whist enjoying the amazing scenery of some of the most famous cols, visited by the Tour de France on a regular basis, but we will also be using video analysis to develop your technique in the three disciplines. This will be followed up with group and individual feedback in the evening sessions.

We will also be offering you the opportunity to experience riding a CompuTrainer, which will provide you with data on your pedal efficiency, a functional threshold capacity test if you wish, and the benefits of working to power.

We can also provide field tests in all three disciplines and provide evening tutorials on how to use these results in your training programme. How often you should be testing, and how your programme should be balanced around work, family, rest, and achieving your triathlon goals.

You will receive an athlete’s questionnaire once you have booked your place. Please complete it in as much detail as possible so we can get a picture of your fitness, goals, and individual objectives of what you would like to achieve from the week.

Example Itinerary

We will have a support vehicle on all rides and Level 3 & 2 triathlon coaches. It is very important that you listen to your body, as we can adjust the sessions accordingly. For those wanting to cut a ride short, we can collect at any point.

We will also discuss your own goals that you have, your time available and discuss how you can plan your training smartly, and periodize your training blocks to peek for your race goals.

If you would subsequently like a more specific training programme, then I will spend time on a one to one basis with you, so we can build your profile and work towards developing a training programme that fits around work, family and other commitments.
