During winter, without any races going on you’re mostly just training (more or less by yourself). You train but you still don’t really know where you stand in comparison to other athletes. Then Easter rolls along, many have already been in their first training camp for this year and the race season is only a few weeks away. Yup, time is definitely flying by and with it comes the question if we are on course/track. Am I training enough? Am I making progress? Is my data correct?
Training camps are good, because all you have to do is concentrate on one thing which is training, okay and eating. But that’s about it. Nothing else to worry about, no bad weather mood, no stress. Just training. However nobody goes into a training camp alone. You either sign up for one or you make up your own with your training buddies.
