Day one is arrival: an airport transfer from Antalya, check-in at the villas, and time to build your bike before the week starts. From day two the pattern settles. Mornings are bikes and runs, often as a BRICK session — 60km then 10km for the second group, 40km then 5km for the first — on the flat asphalt and mountain roads around Antalya. You finish with a recovery drink and head to the spa for hot and cold therapies.

Swim days mix a structured open water session in the Mediterranean with strength and core work including plyometrics, then a shorter ride of 30km or 45km. Lunch is back at the villas, followed by an afternoon nap and another spa session. The camp works on race conditions specifically: swimming in waves, headwinds and crosswinds, bike handling, and hill reps on the climbs.

Day seven is the big one. The second group rides 140km and runs 21km; the first group rides 90km and runs 10km. That evening there is a social gathering with awards. Day eight is a parkrun-style timed effort — 10km for the second group, 5km for the first — uncoached and logged on Strava, before transfers back to Antalya Airport.

What separates this from a generic training holiday is the route itself. Antalya hosts the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship and the camp rides the official course, so the climbs and coastal roads you train on are the ones you will race. Coaches specialise in open water swimming, cycling and trail running, and athletes are split into beginners, those easing into the season, and those chasing specific skills.

The villa village sits in the mountains above the coast with a large pool, several rooms per villa, a full kitchen, washing machine and air conditioning. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are cooked on site to a menu put together by a nutritionist for athletes. A yacht tour is part of the package, and there is a sauna, massage, diving excursions and photo shoots on offer in the free time.

Families are welcome. While you train, partners and children can use the beach, go sightseeing, or join the animation team's programme for kids — games, workshops, theatre, sports, cooking, drawing and yoga.
