The holiday at Tri Training Harder was …

The holiday at Tri Training Harder was far beyond anything I expected. The coaches, the food, the accomodation, the training, everything was so great. It suits everyones needs, from the semi-pro's to the beginners, there's so much to learn. I was a bit scared in the beginning, especially with the rides in the mountains, but the coaches were so nice and helpful, I did far more than I ever thought I could! Would totally recommend this to everyone who wants to boost their training!

Can't stay away

This is my second visit and i would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to work on their triathlon goals. The entire week is geared to making you feel like a professional triathlete, with a tough but achievable training plan, more than enough food provided and supportive coaches at all times. It does look expensive on first sight but this price includes all coaching and almost all meals. When adding up the cost for other locations then this is generally good value, which when combined with the quality of the coaching makes it a great way to spend a week.

A great training week

A great training week, in particular the cycle training up some fair hills of the Monchique mountains, pool swim coaching and on-site physio. Accommodation and food was top notch and along with the very supportive coaches made for an excellent and fun week.

Personalised training holidays for triathletes of all ages and abilities.

I recently enjoyed a wonderful week at the TTH training camp on the Algarve with several other club members. I cannot recommend this company highly enough for the their ability to adapt the programme to triathletes of all abilities. This is very much a personalised service with small group/individual coaching of a very high standard covering all disciplines, including transitions, with video analysis and drills. I was concerned my nutrition might be compromised, being a typical fussy triathlete, but the resident chefs provided individual, very tasty meals to cover all requirements, and all included in the price. Whether you are an elite triathlete preparing for Kona or just beginning your triathlon journey you need look no further than this company to meet your every need. I look forward to returning.

Fantastic triathlon training holiday

Spent a fabulous week training with TTH. Very well organised with great coaches. A good balanced programme with plenty of activities but also some vital recovery time. Highly recommend.

Training holiday

We went as a mixed group of abilities and ages, and with some trepidation as to how it would work out. In the end I can't see how it could have been better. The coaches were excellent at mixing and matching the groups to ensure everyone felt included and got training relevant to them. We were worked hard but also had a lot of fun. The schedule was well thought through: having peaks in effort followed by appropriate rest. We had a catered apartment, and in spite of some wildly different dietary requirements, always had excellent food provided. A great training boost and lots of new things learnt. 100% recommended.

You did very well Pete and it was great to see how you progressed through the week – definitely enjoying both the hard training and also the "hard" recovery just as much!

Thanks for the kind review and see you back in the UK!

Coaching tritrainingharder

My coach Ed Brett knows me better than myself when it comes to getting ready for a race. No trainingsession is the same and I can see what he focuses on. Whenever we chat he asks the right questions and puts this into the next set of sessions. I wouldn't want anyone else.

Fantastic training holidays

I would wholeheartedly recommend Tri Training Harder for a triathlon training holiday. There is a perfect balance of training and relaxation with your every need catered for in style and in comfort. The coaches are exceptional, providing expert knowledge and advice in a fun learning environment. An excellent, fun week of training where you are challenged and giving the confidence to achieve whatever training or race goal you have for the season ahead. Five stars!!

Great place to get fit

I am not part of the triathlon training but are joining Tri Training Harder for the third year with a group of women of a "certain age". We receive excellent training by helpful and knowledgeable coaches in a variety of sports, from cycling, swimming, Pilates, cross training to running, to mention some. I've stayed in the residence apartments which are superbly equipped and very comfortable. The food is excellent, tasty and nutritious. The location is amazing, too.

"I am not part of the triathlon training...." Yet?!

As always, it has been a pleasure having you out and watching you develop and grow in confidence and experience and showing some of the others how to do the fitness at and above that "certain age".

Can't wait to have you back out again in May!

Well organised training camps with very knowledgable coaches

The training holidays in Portugal are a great way to get some quality warm weather training in throughout the year. The coaches are very knowledgeable and cater for all standards of athlete without prejudice.

The food and accommodation are amongst the best you will find at a training camp location. With home made dishes made every day whilst you are out training that are ready for you when you return from a day of riding/running/swimming etc. Perfect

As always, we love having you out showing the coaches how to be fast!

....Not to mention threatening them with spicy alternatives to home-cooked food! We also love that you bring the whole family out and you are able to have an enjoyable time altogether while fitting in your training as well.

Thanks for the kind review!

You couldn't ask for better ...

Tri Training Harder are the ultimate professionals (and that certainly doesn't mean a lack of fun along the way!). Their annual Portugal training camps are full of sand, sea and sun - not to mention breath taking scenery, venues, a few awesome hills and their top notch food -which certainly hits the spot!

The training week is very well planned, with plenty of hints and tips along the way to improve your swim, bike, run skills. I have no hesitation in recommending them. They have always been on hand to answer the queries I have had and you can tell they just love what they do!! :)

First class training, my coach has really taken the time to get to know me as an athlete and building a schedule around my work, family commitments etc.

The coaching experience has been first class, they really take the time help understand your schedule with support always there if a last minute change is needed.
Contact has been really easy with a really positive and proactive approach to help you just get the sessions done.
In my time with Tri Training Harder all three disciplines have improved dramatically and I'm really excited about the 2017 race season approaching.

A very successful outcome

I enjoyed the training and Sorrel was very helpful in adapting the sessions to suit what I could manage and fit in other commitments with my Tri Club. The online system you use works well. I found some of the instructions a bit technical (I didn't know what my CSS was and hadn't done time trials). Also some of the swimming sessions assumed a pool rather than open water in a wetsuit. However, I set myself time goals for the 3 tri sections and met them all (within seconds anyway)!

You certainly did "nail" your A-Race!

We are sorry you found some of the session's instructions a little bit too technical. We have now updated our help pack which goes along side your coaching so hopefully these frustrations have been ironed out.

Good luck this season!
