As this is a training trip, you’ll need to make sure you have enough clothing to train each day, as well as your track spikes (advisable) and gym shoes (optional). One windproof/rainproof running jacket is advisable in case it rains.
It is advisable to also bring enough clothes for your free time. During the day the weather is lovely in Tenerife, but in the evenings it can get cooler so bringing a light jacket or hoodie for the evenings is recommended.
Most hotels have pools and there are also beaches in the area, so you may also like to bring your swimwear.
It’s extremely important to stay hydrated, so electrolyte tablets are recommended, as well as plenty of snacks to help you maintain your energy levels during the longer training sessions. This could be things like dried fruit, nuts, protein bars or energy gels.
There are plenty of places to eat in Tenerife, as well as things to do. You might want to ensure you have enough spending money to cover food and any additional outings or activities that we may do as a group (or that you may like to do individually).
I’M YOUR COACH FOR THE WEEK
Throughout my youth, I only ever saw sprinting as something for the “elite”; something for those with an Olympic dream... but boy, was I wrong!
Sprinting is for everyone! Not only is sprinting an amazing way to get fit and keep fit, but it also challenges your mind and keeps you motivated (because of it’s skill element). You don’t have to be the best in the world to enjoy and master sprinting; you can still be extremely skilled at what you do. You can still get faster. You can still enjoy the community, experiences, and opportunities that arise from sprinting, and this warm weather training camp is the perfect example of that.
I hope you’ll invest in yourself, your fitness and your life and do something different but rewarding!
Your story, journey and goals still matter; YOU are valuable and I want to help you master “faster”!
