Mallorca Triathlon Training Camp FAQs

Is this camp suitable for beginners?
Yes. Our camps are suitable for athletes who want structured coaching, guidance and support, not just a high-mileage training holiday.

We work with a wide range of athletes, from first-time 70.3 competitors through to experienced Ironman athletes. The key requirement is that you arrive prepared to train, learn and follow the coaching process.

Do I need to be fast to join?
No. You do not need to be fast. You need to be willing to train, listen and improve.

We operate a no-ego, no-drop environment. The week is coached around the athletes on camp, with support, guidance and route planning built around the group.

Is this a training camp or a cycling holiday?
This is a coached triathlon training camp.

You will swim, bike and run in Mallorca, but the purpose is performance improvement, race preparation and education. It is not sports tourism and it is not a casual cycling holiday with a triathlon label.

What makes your Mallorca triathlon camps different?
Our camps combine coached swim, bike and run sessions with athlete education, race preparation, fuelling support and performance insight.

Depending on the camp option, athletes can also access VO2 testing, resting metabolic rate testing, sweat and sodium insight, hydration planning and race-day fuelling guidance.

Are the camps all-inclusive?
Yes. Our group camps are designed as an all-inclusive package, including accommodation, food, airport transfers, bike support and coached training.

This means athletes can focus on training, recovery and learning without having to organise the logistics themselves.

Do you provide airport transfers?
Yes. Airport transfers are included as part of the camp package for athletes arriving into Palma de Mallorca Airport.
Do I need to bring my own bike?
Most athletes bring their own bike, especially if they are preparing for a specific race. Bike hire may be possible depending on availability, but we recommend discussing this before booking.
Will I receive the routes in advance?
Routes are planned and delivered around the athletes, weather, wind direction and the purpose of each training day.

We do not usually release full route files far in advance because the camp is coached and adapted, not simply a self-guided route package.

What happens if I am slower than the others?
You will not be left behind.

The camp is coached, supported and managed so athletes can train effectively without feeling under pressure to race the group. We use appropriate grouping and coaching judgement to keep the week productive and safe.

Do you offer 1:1 bespoke camps?
Yes. We offer bespoke 1:1 Mallorca triathlon training weeks for athletes who want a more individualised experience.

These can be built around a specific race, such as Ironman, Ironman 70.3, Challenge events, World Championship preparation or technical skills such as climbing, descending, open-water swimming and race-day execution.

Can you help me prepare for Ironman 70.3 Mallorca?
Yes. Mallorca is one of the best places in Europe to prepare for Ironman 70.3 racing.

We can include bike-specific work, climbing, descending, open-water swimming, pacing, fuelling and brick sessions to help you build confidence for race day.

Can you help me prepare for Ironman Wales, Nice or other hilly races?
Yes. Mallorca is excellent for athletes preparing for hilly and technical races.

We can use sustained climbs, rolling terrain, technical descents and race-specific brick sessions to replicate the demands of events such as Ironman Wales, Ironman 70.3 Nice and other challenging courses.

Is swim coaching included?
Yes. Swim coaching is included as part of the triathlon camp experience.

Depending on the camp and location, this may include pool-based technique work, open-water skills, wetsuit confidence, sighting, pacing and race-specific swim preparation.

Do you include open-water swimming?
Yes. Open-water swimming is included where conditions allow.

Mallorca provides excellent locations for open-water confidence, technique, wetsuit practice and race-specific swim skills.

What level of bike fitness do I need?
You should arrive with enough fitness to ride several days during the week and handle back-to-back training.

You do not need to be the strongest cyclist, but you should be comfortable riding a road bike, clipping in and out, descending safely and following coaching instructions.

Is there a no-drop policy on rides?
Yes. Our rides are coached and supported with a no-drop approach.

This is not a race. Athletes are expected to ride responsibly, listen to the coach or ride guide, and stay within the structure of the session.

Can I ride ahead if I feel strong?
No. The rides are coached sessions, not free-for-all group rides.

For safety, route management and the quality of the camp experience, athletes are expected to follow the coach or ride guide and not change direction or ride off independently.

How much training will I do in a week?
Training volume depends on the camp, the group and the purpose of the week.

A typical week may include multiple swims, rides, runs, brick sessions, recovery work and education. The week is built to create fitness and confidence without simply chasing mileage for the sake of it.

Is nutrition support included?
Yes. Fuelling and hydration guidance are part of the camp experience.

We help athletes understand how to fuel training, manage hydration, practise race-day nutrition and avoid common mistakes such as under-fuelling long rides or arriving dehydrated.

Do you offer VO2 testing?
Yes. VO2 testing is available on selected camps and bespoke 1:1 weeks.

This can help identify training zones, energy use, carbohydrate demand and more individualised pacing and fuelling strategies.

Do you offer sweat and sodium testing?
Sweat and sodium insight is available on selected camps and bespoke packages.

This can help athletes understand their hydration needs more clearly, especially when training and racing in heat.

Can you help me create a race-day fuelling plan?
Yes. Race-day fuelling is a key part of what we do.

We help athletes understand carbohydrate intake, hydration, sodium needs, pacing and recovery so they can arrive at race day with a plan they have practised.

What is included in the camp price?
The exact package depends on the camp, but group camps usually include accommodation, food, airport transfers, bike support, coached swim/bike/run sessions and education.

Premium testing or bespoke 1:1 options may include additional performance testing and individual planning.

Are flights included?
No. Flights are not included.

Athletes book their own flights to Palma de Mallorca Airport. We then support the camp logistics from arrival.

Can I come alone?
Yes. Many athletes come alone.

The camp environment is friendly, supportive and built around like-minded athletes. You do not need to arrive with a friend or club group.

Can couples or friends book together?
Yes. Couples, friends and small groups can book together.

We can help make sure the camp works for different levels, goals and experience levels where possible.

What airport do I fly into?
You should fly into Palma de Mallorca Airport.
Where in Mallorca are the camps based?
Camp locations may vary depending on the week, hotel availability and the purpose of the camp.

We choose locations that give athletes access to excellent cycling, swimming, running and recovery.

What happens if the weather changes?
The schedule can be adapted around weather, wind and athlete safety.

This is one of the advantages of a coached camp. The week is not a fixed route package. We use local knowledge and coaching judgement to make the best decisions each day.

Can you help with climbing and descending confidence?
Yes. Mallorca is ideal for developing climbing, descending and bike-handling skills.

For athletes preparing for hilly races, we can include sustained climbs, technical descents, pacing work and confidence-building sessions.

How do I know which camp is right for me?
If you are unsure, contact us with your race goal, current fitness level, experience and what you want from the week.

We can then guide you towards the most suitable group camp or bespoke 1:1 option.

How do I book?
You can book directly through the website or contact us first if you want help choosing the right camp.

Once booked, we will guide you through the next steps so you know what to bring, how to prepare and what to expect.
