This is an example of a completely scheduled and timetabled week at Tri-topia. As abilities differ within all groups we take this into consideration on booking asking you to fill our questionnaire and adapt the schedule where needed. Where possible we make the groups as near in ability as we can so that everyone gets what they need from their stay with us. This is vital for you to get the best out of your training week.
Day 1
Arrival at Tri-topia, settle in, a bite to eat, meet the group.
Normally a light session swim at the lake unstructured or shake out the legs on a short run. Today we sort out your bikes in the bike shed, we issue heart rate monitors to those who need them and make sure everybody is ready for the weeks training.
Day 2
Starts with a short run before breakfast followed by an introduction to HRM [heart rate monitors].A run through the best stretches to use after training.
A visit to Grahams our swim expert. He has a beautiful 20m heated outdoor pool to analyze your stroke. We all have something to improve with our swim so do it early in the week and we can take his advice and put it to practise. An intro bike ride after lunch to get your bearings and check out the French café culture.
Back to Tri-topia and make the most of the facilities perhaps a sauna or a dip in the Endless pool or simply relax before dinner with a game of French boules or table tennis.
Day 3
Time to pick it up a bit and start with some real sessions. All sessions will be tailored to the individuals in the group so you can choose the level you feel comfortable with. If the bike group shows a clear divide we will arrange 2 seperate groups.
An interval run session to introduce you to different paces and ideas /drills to help you break up your run training to make it more interesting.
Jump in the car and visit one of the beautiful lakes for a swim spending the afternoon acquiring open water skills and confidence. In the evening a talk on nutrition over a drink and aperitifs.

Today is a long bike ride so fuel up with a big breakfast and then get the bikes ready. Before we go a quick run through on safety on the roads eg hand signals, things to carry with us including our nutrition and we show you how to fix a puncture. The ride will be between 30 - 50km depending on the group.
We will take in the sights and look at our bike skills along the way.
