HI Jo !!
I wouldnt mind a go at one these training camps ... Club La Santa in Lanzarote also do one which is highly rated. I found out that although they can offer an intensive trainng package for a week (with good weahter thrown in) - this was from speaking to a few people at a tri club. That it might be better value for money for a training point of view to get a personal tri coach to oversee and help direct your training & then have a holiday after your race(s) as a break. Personally not that I am a greedy boy but I would want to do all three ....the weeeks training abroad , have a tri coach and then a serious chill out on a beach after

ps. Have been a bit lazy this week with my training .... been really busy .... gonna be really quiet now for a couple of weeks so hoping to up the pace then.
Just spoken to Neilson - it sounds really nice. Gonna look up your one in Lanzarote now too. It'll prob be my only chance to practice my transitions and open water swimming. I know what you mean re holidays and I will def be taking one straight after. Re Personal Tri Coach - Well I am a qualified personal trainer so I would feel a bit embarrassed hiring a tri coach.

I know what you mean I was an Army Pti then a personal trainer before sliding over in to nursing - I really had to swallow my pride etc to join my local tri club and even to go and take swimming lessons (to get a grip on my crawl) - but remebered that thing about we never stop learning and that there is always someone who will know that little more than me. I remember a potential client of mine who wanted personal training .... she was delighted with the screening and assessment process but delayed started her traing by some 8 weeks (I found out latert she did so as she wanteed to get fitter before starting - her own pride wouldnt allow her to start at basic level having been a strong althlete in her youth). I am not trying to preach nor to persuade you to take on a coach meerly to offer that the world of triathlon is a complex one .. I thought I could easily train myself to a good standard & probably could however I have found the process so much easier with support and guidance from others especially those with a depth of experience. after isnt that why your clients come to you

ok - I've gone off the Neilson one - apparently it focuses more on technique - lots of theory sessions etc and what I really want is an intensive week of training - so I don't think it's for me.
looking into some others now.
