\"Portugal<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After 2 years Ennis Track athletes head off to Portugal, more specifically Fal\u00e9sia for their warm weather training camp. Many nights organising has gone into making this a reality and much appreciation is given to Pat, Marie, Ita and Ger for their hard work. Thank you to all the parents for their patience, understanding and help as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why do athletes go on a warm training camp – its only a holiday some say, well anyone who has been on a warm training camp will attest that holidays come in different forms and this is definitely focused on training and recovering. Warm weather as the pictures will show the sun is shining, and the athletes are enjoying training in the sunshine (while we still light our fires and stare out at the rain here). Secondly the days are just spent on training, away from home distractions, days of just focused training being watched and analysed by their coach. Along with the running, time for recovery is most important, stretching, yoga, sleep, this goes hand in hand with their training. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each day pictures, vblogs etc will wing its way to us from Portugal showing us a snippet of how the training is going over there, not to mention the haircuts, meal successes\/disasters etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
