Start your swimrun season in the best possible way with a long training weekend along the wild and fantastic Costa Brava, 1,5h north of Barcelona. You will get three days filled with Swimrun adventures, techniques, transitions, open water swimming, pool session, trail running, running technique, specific yoga for swimrunners and injury prevention strength training. We stay at Hostal La Fosca, a small hotel located along the beach of the La Fosca bay. Breakfast and dinner are served at the hotel while lunch is served where we train that day. There will be a lot of training but also time to enjoy a cold beer in the sun, have a massage, rest and enjoy the surroundings.
The price is 420€ and you can book here:
In order to keep the training camp personalized there are only 14 spots available per camp. We focus on learning and improving while having a good time. The camp is open to both the newbie and experienced swimrunner. If needed we’ll set up groups within the group for the different levels to guarantee high training quality for everyone. However, in order to make the most out of the camp we recommend that you can run and swim at least 8 km & 500m nonstop (time do not matter). The training sessions will be held by professional coaches in each sport. For the swimruns there will be a support car following the route with water and snacks. We have plan A, B & C for the swimruns and open water swimming so that we can make it happen, no matter what the weather is up to.
