Athletes fuelled again in 2016

HIGH5 is our chosen nutrition partner and products are available at the Tri Training Harder camps in Portugal. Nutrition is the fourth discipline of triathlon and it makes a big difference on a week long training camp. Correct hydration is always key considering the great weather we have in Portugal all year round. ZERO is our go to drink in these conditions. With a high volume of training over several days, correct carbohydrate fuelling and optimum recovery will elevate your training benefits throughout the week. We’ve got staff on hand that will help you get your nutrition right during your stay.
