Let's talk about the traditional triathlon training camp for a second.
You pack your bike, fly off to a sunny island and proceed to ride yourself into the ground for seven days straight. You chase watts on every climb, rack up 30 hours of mindless volume and fly home with wrecked legs, deep systemic fatigue and a dwindling sense of pride.
Three weeks later, you're burnt out, injured or simply too exhausted to hit your key sessions back home.
Sound familiar?
It's a mistake I see age groupers make all the time. Mindlessly accumulating fatigue is easy; building actual, long-term performance is an art. A training camp should never be an endurance survival test. It should be a performance laboratory – a dedicated space where you push your limits, refine your technique and walk away with the exact data and knowledge required to race faster all season long.
That is precisely why we do things differently on the camps I run.
What a training camp should actually do for you
If you are going to invest your time, money, and energy into a week away, it needs to yield massive returns for your entire season. A truly effective training camp focuses on four core pillars:
- Targeted volume: Pushing your boundaries with structured, purpose-driven rides and workouts, not just chasing miles for the sake of Strava.
- Form assessment: Coaches on hand to identify the hidden inefficiencies in your movement in a setting where you can practise over and over again with immediate feedback.
- Actionable education: Learning how to fuel, pace and adapt so you can make smarter decisions on race day.
When you combine those elements with structured recovery, good food and a supportive team environment, something magic happens. You don't just leave fitter, you leave smarter.
Welcome to Lanzarote 2027: The Ultimate Performance Camp
For 2027, we're bringing this exact philosophy to the triathlon Mecca of Lanzarote.
From Sunday 28 February to Sunday 7 March 2027, we will be set up at the Vitalclass Sports Resort in Costa Teguise. Located on the less windy south side of the island and just 15 minutes from Lanzarote Airport, it is the ultimate base camp for an unforgettable week.
This isn't a week of unguided thrashing. It is a full performance laboratory designed to jumpstart your 2027 season.

LANZAROTE 2027 AT A GLANCE
========================================================================
Dates: Sun Feb 28 – Sun Mar 7, 2027
Location: Vitalclass Sports Resort, Costa Teguise, Lanzarote
Level: All Levels
Included Value: Over €1,000 in testing, diagnostics & masterclasses
========================================================================
What makes this camp different?
We have built over €1,000 worth of lab-grade testing, biomechanical analysis, and educational masterclasses directly into the package.
1. Pre-camp INSCYD physiological testing
Before you even touch down or start the week, we run comprehensive INSCYD performance testing for both bike and run. This gives us a complete look under your hood: your VO2Max, VLaMax, anaerobic threshold, carb-versus-fat combustion rates and lab-accurate training zones. No guesswork, just pure scientific clarity.
2. Advanced diagnostics & biomechanics
During the week, you will receive personalised diagnostics and technique analysis tailored to your goals:
- Advanced diagnostics choice: Select either a 24-hour sweat test or a thermoregulation analysis.
- Biomechanical analysis choice: Choose between Runeasi run gait analysis or detailed swim technique analysis.
3. The Masterclass Series
Training hard is only half the battle; knowing why you are training matters just as much. Across the week, we deliver four expert sessions:
- Data Interpretation: Translating your INSCYD metrics into race pacing and fueling plans.
- Endurance Fueling: Periodised nutrition strategies for long-course triathlon.
- Thermoregulation: Managing performance, cooling, and heat adaptation in hot conditions.
- Movement Efficiency: Lowering your energy cost at every speed during the swim and run.
Iconic routes, total support
Of course, we're still in Lanzarote to ride! You will tackle the island's most legendary roads – from the sweeping switchbacks of Haría and the climbs of Tabayesco to the black ash vineyards of La Geria and the coastal road to Órzola.
Every big ride day is backed by an on-course support vehicle stocked with nutrition, water, and gear backup, so you can focus entirely on your effort.
And the best part? Carbon road bike hire is included in your camp package. You don't have to wrestle with bike boxes at the airport unless you really want to.
Hassle-free luxury and recovery
When you finish a tough session, your focus shifts instantly to recovery. We have designed the entire camp environment to make that effortless:
- Athlete-focused half-board: High-quality meals with drinks included.
- Daily spa access: Thermal pools and recovery facilities to keep your muscle fatigue in check.
- Comfortable accommodation: One-bedroom apartments equipped with kitchenettes, bike stands, and foam rollers.
- Complete package: Airport transfers, limited-edition cycle jersey, swim cap, professional photos and a camp after-movie.
Simple, all-inclusive pricing
We believe in complete transparency. Every package option includes all testing, bike hire, half-board, transfers and coaching support:

Ready to train smarter in 2027?
Because of the extensive diagnostic testing, biomechanical profiling, and personalized masterclasses included in this camp, capacities are strictly capped. We keep groups intentionally small to guarantee every athlete gets direct coach access and lab-grade individual attention.
