About THE ENERGY LAB/FIRST BOURN TRAINING CAMP
The purpose of this training camp is to provide an increased training stimulus or overload, mainly with steady aerobic volume, to create the capacity to handle the iron distance (or other) specific single-day overload that usually comes in the final 10 to 12 weeks of your preparation.
In order to prepare for this training camp, athletes should have completed a minimum of 12 to 16 weeks of a typical long course triathlon base training program. These programs may start with anywhere from 10 to 14 hours per week of volume and peak at 20 or more hours per week. I have several openings available for those looking for coaching. I only work with a very small group of athletes so contact me if interested at Marc@TheEnergyLab.net. Once registered, a detailed training schedule for the week (as well as a suggested recovery week for after the camp will be provided. If you have a coach, I’d recommend you forward this information so that they can appropriately structure your training leading up to the camp.
