DAY 1: WARM UP & SCENERY
Meet and greet in the morning after airport pick up, we will have a casual lunch at the hotel. It’s a good opportunity to meet the fellow athletes, and make sure that all your gear is ready, with the help of our support crew.
We will start the camp with a 1.5 hour bike ride to loosen up the legs, on beautiful country roads through the vineyards, with amazing views of the lake and mountains. Upon return to the hotel, we put our running shoes on right away and go for a one hour jog for our first brick session, running in the forest in a calm and relaxed atmosphere. We then head into the gym studio for a 90-minute strength & conditioning workout with plenty of stretching to build resistance for the upcoming days.
After a well-deserved free time, we will have dinner at the hotel, and experience a beautiful gourmet menu prepared by one of the top chefs in the region.

DAY 3: TRIATHLON
The best way to finish a triathlon weekend is with……a triathlon!
This is not a competition, but we will put to the test all the elements we worked on the last couple of days. Starting with a 1 hour swim in Lake Geneva, we will head straight into the mountains for a challenging and epic climb of La Barillette, the highest peak in the Jura mountains, standing at 1500 meters above sea level.
We finish our camp with a 30-minute run in the forest, and our triathlon is complete!
Lunch will be provided at the hotel right after the run, and it will be a good time to share your amazing experience with your fellow athletes.

ATHLETE REVIEWS
My goal is to complete a long distance triathlon here in Spain, and I wanted to take my training to the next level. I contacted Thierry and have been really impressed with his professionalism and his dynamic approach to triathlon training. I struggled to balance my work, family, and training. But Thierry understood my situation, and adapted the program as a result. After a few months of training I can feel a big difference; I feel great. I can’t wait to see how far I can go with Jura Sports’ training.
