Summary

You head off to a beautiful destination with bike, wetsuit, and running shoes packed and ready to go where you will spend multiple days in a lush destination without the distraction of work, family, and other life priorities. You are officially immersed in solid training with days and nights filled with multisport activity, food, and camaraderie.

Are you at a classic training camp, or are you having a training experience? Should you return from a camp feeling accomplished, but completely exhausted and overcooked? In fact, What should you look for coming out of this week and how can you judge whether it was a "success" or not?

Today, Matt outlines your pathway to a successful training camp experience - one that leaves you feeling invigorated and sets you up for a successful season. He discusses:

The difference between a training camp and a training experience or getaway with some buddies
The value of a camp and why you should consider attending one to support your training
Five components of a successful training camp
How to judge the success of the camp, especially as you navigate through your season

A training camp doesn't guarantee or produce magic results. It is the successful application of the lessons you learn and implement that produce that magic.

Educate and execute.

Then come home and implement.

That is your pathway to training camp success.
