OUR RESIDENT COACH...

Unlike many larger training camps, we have the same qualified and experienced coach on hand throughout your stay to create your ideal training/racing break

Richard is a qualified BTA and British Cycling Coach as well as having a vast knowledge and expertise gained as a elite athlete (swimming and triathlon) and RAF Physical Training Instructor (whilst in the RAF he was part of the relay team who broke the world record for the Belgium to England Channel crossing and has completed numerous other channel swims). His additional experiences as a lecturer in sports science and as a personal trainer (YMCA qualified ) give him exceptional practical and theoretical knowledge. In addition to his coaching Richard still competes in all disciplines.

TAILOR-MADE COACHING AND TRAINING ADVICE...because Richard has this breadth of experience, and an excellent knowledge of the surrounding area, your exact itinerary is often better finalized on arrival. It is however, easy to modify your itinerary as the week progresses, should you prefer to discuss and plan an itinerary prior to your training/ competition break. Or indeed discuss any particular or additional requirements a group or an individual may have prior to the training holiday, either by phone or Email.
Richard is also one of the coaches for Tri Catalan (Perpignan's Tri/Du Club) so it is easy to accommodate pool swimming sessions in Perpignan (25m or 50m ), perhaps combining this with a relaxing day in the City.  We also offer individual training programmes, fitness testing, lectures and seminars, technique analysis (including video analysis), flexibility and sports massage.
