Many athletes spend a great deal of time and money training for their Ironman races, only to loose it all with bad preparation during the last part of the taper period. We have decided to put on a Ironman Lanzarote training camp to rectify this.
The pre race Ironman Lanzarote triathlon training camp offers you a fantastic opportunity to get yourself prepared for racing. It will be an event where you will have the chance to meet other athletes from all around the world while being coached and trained for the big day.
The Triathlon training
We will arrange the swim training sessions each day to ensure you do the right amount of training in the 50M pool, the lagoon at Club La Santa and the actual course in Puerto del Carmen.
Biking will be on parts of the course, while the run will be mainly around the Club La Santa resort. There will also be a bus trip available taking you round the Ironman Lanzarote bike and run courses. Throughout the week our team of coaches will be on hand to instruct and help you with your Ironman prepartions.
Remember to bring your swim equipment, wet suit, bike shoes, pedals and helmet. All participants must ride with helmets, as it is a law in Spain. No helmet – no ride.
