TRIATHLON TRAINING ADVENTURES

​

Gites&Vélos triathlon training adventures are all inclusive 3-7 night trips which are designed to fit your needs, whether you're training for a sprint distance or an Ironman, we have got you covered. Steve and Esmée are experienced coaches with a wealth of knowledge and passion for everything swim - bike - run. 

We can provide training adventures for a group of friends who want a change of scenery and new training stimulus. And we regularly work in collaboration with coaches and triathlon clubs for their pre or post race season training camp. 

 

Our training adventures are made up of:

Open water swim sessions in the beautiful Lac de Montbel with one of us on a paddle board for safety. 

The most amazing cycling routes with little to no traffic and breathtaking views for your long rides, hill rep sessions, or even a punchy brick session. You won't have to worry about sharing the road with loads of other cyclists, battling against tourist coaches, dealing with angry drivers like you do in many popular triathlon training locations such as Mallorca . In the Midi Pyrenees its just you, your bike and epic scenery.

The running routes don't disappoint either, think quiet country lanes with mountain views for your long runs and interval sessions.

You can also opt to add some strength and conditioning sessions and even a yoga class into your training schedule

We provide Breakfast, Lunch (on days when you are not out on a long ride), Dinner and homemade ride snacks.

Accommodation is in our characterful gites.

​

We aim to take all the stress out of planning a training camp. We provide all your routes and tailor them exactly to your needs. If you want a 20km flat ride, a 150km ride into the Pyrenees and everything in between, we can make it happen. The same goes for running!

​Because there are two of us, we can split the group depending on group ability and alter the distances if you want a longer or shorter ride/run that day. Although we can share GPS routes with you so you know where you are going, its nice not to have to worry about following the little map on your bike computer or watch. Make the most of our local knowledge and follow one us instead!

​

We cater for all dietary requirements, and use local, seasonal produce where possible to make the yummiest food to keep you fuelled for all your training sessions.

​​

When you're not training we have lots to keep you occupied. You can chill in our outdoor pool, relax your achy muscles in the wood fired hot tub, get competitive in the games room with a game of pool or table football, watch a film on our cinema screen or simply sit in the garden with a cold beer and a good book. It's up to you, it's your holiday!
