Just back from a fantastic training camp in Lanzarote with “Guru Coach” Filipe along for the first week of technique and long swim sessions in the pool as well as really structured cycling and running sessions.

The most interesting and useful sessions were lactate testing sessions on the time trial bike to work out wattage for Ironman pace and similar on the running track to work out Ironman marathon run pace. Individual write ups on those in due course as they were really interesting. Fantastic to be able to transfer lab results into “real world” advice to use in racing.

Thanks to Filipe for the best structured training camp I’ve done so far in my athletic career – every session had a purpose and done properly and sensibly; no “junk miles” or sessions done just for the sake of mileage (even having done nearly 35 hours on the bike, 10 in the pool and 10 running). There was lots of relevant technical advice especially in the pool (massive difference even in a week) as well as invaluable advice for pacing on the bike and run transferring lab testing and data into the real world am privileged to have have been able to use the facility whcih of course is only of benefit with Filipe’s knowledge and expertise to interpret the results. Most of all we had a really enjoyable time!
