Description
I propose a 3-day trail training course in the Estaubé and Gavarnie cirques in the heart of the Pyrenees to improve your physical volume and endurance.
Based on intense races accumulating many kilometers and important altitude differences, this trail training course aims to prepare a big sporting competition several weeks in advance by leading you to push your limits and to allow your body to be in physical overcompensation on the day of the event.
The + of this course:
- Small groups allowing personalized training.
- A mountain leader specialized in trail and accustomed to the competitive environment .
- Pedagogical courses.
- Friendliness and fun guaranteed.
To get started in the activity or continue to improve your performance and technique, I also offer:
- an introductory trail course in Ariège,
- a snow trail course above Ax-les-Thermes,
- a 3-day trail course at altitude in Font-Romeu and
- a 2 days to recognise the Aneto Trail in Luchon.
