We will began on Mount Taygetos where are accommodation is at 1000m elevation which the weather at this time of year is usually cold in the early mornings and late evenings but mild during the day. We have chosen this location to give the opportunity to enjoy the breathtaking landscape during our runs, beautiful trails and plenty of fresh air.
Accommodation and all meals are included in our Mount Taygetos retreat all made freshly from local products. We will have a day spent in Sparta which is an ultra running society since it hosts many ultra running events with most well known the Spartathlon 246km , you can have the chance to visit King Leonidas’ Statue. Enjoy a day with a sport massage and the chance to try out the local cuisine.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The second of your training will be in the seaside town of Gytheio 42km from Sparta, and enjoy the rest of your training by the sea at very mild weather conditions. In Gytheio your hotel and breakfast is included but not other meals giving you the opportunity to stroll around the town and try different dishes. Apart from your every day runs we place a lot of emphasis on your recovery with ice baths at a river, sport masage and stretching and yoga for runners. We have a lot of strength training routines as well.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_btn title=”DOWNLOAD BROCHURE” style=”classic” color=”success” size=”lg”][vc_single_image image=”3974″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=”COACHES” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:40|text_align:left|color:%23606060|line_height:1″ google_fonts=”font_family:Montserrat%3Aregular%2C700|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]
