Travel stories

  • How I Prepared for My First Race in Girona

    My dream of completing a race was realized in Girona, Spain. Going into the week I wasn’t sure what to expect, but right away I felt comfortable and energized. The coaches at camp had a well-crafted plan that left no stone unturned when it came to preparing me for the race.


    Swimming was definitely the most daunting task on my list, but thanks to professional instruction and lots of practice, I was able to make tremendous progress over the course of a few days. Biking through some of Girona's spectacular countryside also proved to be an incredible source of motivation as each pedal stroke brought me closer to reaching my goals. Even on tough runs over hilly terrain, I found that my stamina was better than ever before!

    "I never thought I'd be capable of competing," said Aaron F., amateur athlete and camp participant. "Endurance Training Camps gave me the tools needed for success!"

  • How Intensive Training in Dubai Helped Me Push My Limits

    The coaches at camp had the perfect plan for how to tackle the tasks ahead of us everyday - from swimming to cycling and running, including a unique challenge of climbing up the Jabel Jais mountain – a 2,200m climb with an average gradient of 8%. Despite the UAE's hot and humid climate, the weather conditions were constantly monitored and we found ourselves encouraged by clear skies and gentle breezes as we moved upwards. Through swimming drills, biking around Dubai's countryside, and even challenging runs over hilly terrain, my daily exercise load gradually increased - but so did my strength and confidence!

    "The climb up Jabel Jais was an unforgettable experience," said Aaron F., amateur athlete and camp participant. "The coaches gave me the guidance needed to increase my workload while tackling difficult gradients like the one found on Jabel Jais".
