Five training days.
Without filling every hour.
Each day has one clear training function. The hardest work is placed where you can absorb it; meals, rest and recovery make the next session possible.
We align sport, experience, current load and goal beforehand. During the week, route, duration and intensity can be adjusted daily to recovery, group level and conditions.

01 / Is this right for you?
For athletes who already train and want better direction.
The Performance Week suits endurance athletes and triathletes who can responsibly train on consecutive days. You do not need to be race-level; a stable base, honesty about your capacity and a willingness to take recovery seriously matter more.
If you are injured, starting entirely from zero or cannot yet handle several training days, we will first discuss whether this week is appropriate now.
Cycling, running or triathlon can be the focus. Participants do not all have to complete exactly the same session.
Mention this in your request. We first assess whether participation is suitable and what adjustment may be needed.
02 / The training week
A week that manages training load.
The exact sessions follow from your intake and are adjusted on site to recovery, level, weather and local conditions.
Sport, goal, experience and current training load form the starting point.
Fatigue, recovery and conditions determine what makes sense that day.
You finish with feedback and concrete choices for your next training weeks.
Intake and weekly framework.
Check in, inspect equipment, discuss goals and finalise the first days.
Technique and focused progression.
The main sport-specific sessions, with easy training and recovery around the key work.
Combine specifically.
A longer or combined session that brings pace, fueling and execution together.
Consolidate and apply.
A suitable final stimulus, evaluation and concrete direction for the training weeks at home.
