YOUR TRIATHLON TRAINING CAMP IN CROATIA

Planned and organized by professionals – all you have to do is show up fit for training!

  Istria is an excellent base for a triathlon training camp due to its wide range of hotels and facilities. Our agency can offer a number of different options on accommodation, running and cycling routes, while there are also plenty of swimming pools and open-water swimming options to consider. Istria attracts thousands of cyclists to its shores each year and for good reason; it is ideal. Each winter teams such as the Croatian, Hungarian, Slovenian and Russian national teams come to Istria to make use of the excellent road surfaces, varying terrain and scenic routes.

Why choose Istria and our team?

Istria is Croatia’s largest peninsula, around which the Adriatic Sea rushes, washing its indented coast with thousands of lagoons and islets. The pleasant Mediterranean climate in Istria is characterized by mild winters and warm summers. The sea temperature ranges from 9°C in March to 24°C in August. It is a real experience to swim in the warm sea even until the end of September.

At the tip of Istria lies the enchanting village of Medulin, which is ideal for your training camp with its landscape, mild climate, extremely good location and especially the value for money. Medulin offers numerous sports terrains with various sports and recreational facilities that will satisfy even the most demanding guests.

The organization of the triathlon training camp was taken over exclusively by professionals who, after years of experience, know what really matters in a training camp. The leading director of the training camp is Željko Bijuk, who is Sport Development Coordinator for Europe at the International Triathlon Union (ITU). He and his team are all trainers with an ITU – Level 1 and Level 2 license and are therefore highly qualified to lead your training.

The following dates were selected by the team of experts for your triathlon camp in Medulin:

  • Termin 1 : 29.03.-05.04.2025
  • Termin 2 : 10.05.-17.05.2025
  • Termin 3 : 27.09.-04.10.2025

ACCOMODATION

The hotel selected for you is the 4-star Hotel Park Plaza Belvedere in Medulin. The hotel offers you optimal comfort as well as relaxation and rest after hard training. Excellently equipped with a 25 meter indoor pool with sea water, a wellness area with whirlpool, finnish sauna, steam bath, a fitness and weight room, massage rooms, outdoor pool, meeting rooms for seminars and specialist lectures as well as all meals in buffet form with sports-friendly nutrition and much more. Due to its ideal location, right by the sea, open water units can also be carried out here.

SOCIAL PROGRAM

At the beginning of the training camp, smaller endurance tests are held in the various disciplines. In this way, the trainers get a better overview and can divide the participants into smaller homogeneous groups and thus organize the training units more efficiently and focus on the individual athletes.

Right at the beginning, all participants receive the training plan of the week and can thus better prepare and adjust to it. Not all workouts need to be followed. In the end, everyone makes their own plan, depending on their strength and endurance. On the first evening there is a welcome lecture, during which the weekly training schedule is reviewed and the coaches and athletes get to know each other.

During the week, several specialist lectures will be held on proper nutrition, exercise techniques for the individual sports, rules and behavior and the associated penalties, etc. The individual lectures will be posted on a bulletin board where you can register daily for the specialist lectures, all of which are included in the price.

We also offer you the option of performance diagnostics (run + bike) including a training plan during the training camp. If you should decide to do so, please let us know when you book the training camp so that everything can be organized for you in advance and awaits you on site.

Important : the training sessions and specialist lectures are conducted by our specialist staff in English. However, our German-speaking supervisors are on site for you every day and are always at your disposal.

SWIMMING TRAINING

Guided swimming technique training is held almost daily in the camp on reserved lanes in the heated seawater indoor pool. If desired, a video analysis can also be made during training in order to make it easier to draw attention to errors. Our highly qualified trainers will help you with the units and of course answer all your questions. Because the indoor pool is included in the price at the Park Plaza Belvedere hotel, you can practice and try to improve your techniques as you please. Due to the excellent location, right by the sea, the trainers also organize open water units. If you don’t have a wetsuit, you can borrow one from us.

BIKE TRAINING

The roads and nature trails in Medulin are ideal for accumulating kilometers. Partly untouched nature and the mild climate offer suitable conditions for cycling. For better supervision and more efficient training, smaller homogeneous groups are formed for which the routes are adapted in terms of performance level. For longer trips, the hotel will put together a packed lunch to take with you. Water and isotonic drinks are also available on every bike ride.

Rental bikes are available on site. We have 30 rental bikes including carbon road bikes and carbon triathlon bikes in all sizes. Simply state the desired frame size or your height when booking the camp. Please bring your own cycling shoes, helmet, pedals and drinking bottle. If you are sensitive, we also recommend taking your own saddle with you. This shortens the adjustment period by quite a bit.

RUNNING TRAINING

A guided running training in untouched nature and on the street. Running training can also be held in the nature reserve Kamenjak, where extreme challenges await you. Thanks to the many years of experience of the trainers, they can help you to improve your running technique and style. Which is particularly important because it teaches you to cover longer distances faster and more easily.

COUPLING AND CHANGE TRAINING

Inevitable and not to be underestimated are the coupling and alternating training, which are also included in the training plan. The transitions between the individual disciplines have to be right, because they can cost a lot of time in competitions.

ACCOMMODATION

There is also the possibility to come to the camp as a single traveler and still not spend more. Simply indicate when booking that you would like to book half a double room and that you are looking for a roommate. If we find a suitable roommate for you, we will let you know immediately. Family holidays can also be combined with the training camp, as we offer special prices for training camp non-participants. The large offer in the hotel with indoor pool, fitness room and much more is already included in the price for the training camp non-participants.
