Thank
you for the CCC training sessions. They
really helped me to learn the route,
and to develop a good race plan and
strategy for the event. I finished just
outside my target time, but that was
due to a problem with my shoes in the
last 10km or so. I was really happy
though, and your efforts to train me
made all the difference

Great
to see you again, and thanks as ever
for all the support and for a tough
day out in the hills. The weather made
it a tad harder, but that's all part
of the fun isn't it?

Just
a quick note to say a belated thanks to you
for the trail running tuition I received the
other week. I found the session very useful
and learnt quite a lot in a just a few hours.
This was invaluable in helping me complete
my first trail race (The Mont Blanc Marathon)
last Sunday. I did the race in 7 hrs 27 which
was not too bad for my first outing –
and would have been quicker but for a knee
problem I developed half way round which slowed
me down for the rest of the race. I would
certainly recommend Icicle to anyone looking
to develop their trail running skills

Mountain
fitness assessments
|
|
What
better way is there to test how your mountain
fitness programme is progressing, than on
real mountain terrain, in the UK or the Alps?
These mountain fitness assessments are based
in mountainous terrain, where you are taken
out on terrain to test your balance, fluidity
of movement, recovery, speed and strength. |
|
At
the end of the assessment, your Personal Trainer
will be able to advise you on how to adapt
your current training regime on the build
up to your course. This is invaluable in ensuring
that you are working on the correct muscle
groups, and developing sufficient levels of
aerobic endurance. |
|
A
key focus of these mountain fitness assessments
is to help build your confidence on training
on mountain terrain, to cross train various
parts of your body, in order to help protect
you from injury. After the assessment your
Personal Trainer will be able to advise on
how realistic your course goal is. |
|
In
the mountains there can be no absolute guarantees
of success, but no one will ever doubt that
you get more out of any trip, the more that
you put into it. Many clients found these
mountain fitness assessments a useful tool
to focus their training, and to provide clear
intermediary goals. |

When
you are based in the office, and going
to the gym a few times a week, I found
it very hard to guage where my fitness
was at in terms of how I'd perform on
a mountain. I found this assessment
session brilliant to know I was on track,
and it paid off when I was on Mont Blanc

I
really appreciated the honest and open
feedback that I got from my trainer.
On the weeks after, I kept remembering
tips I'd been given, to use as training
tools

A
genuine thank you for giving me a gentle
kick up the bum (not literally) to increase
my training. It made all the difference
when I was on the ski tour, and I knew
how to work well at my recovery rate.
I could not endorse this assessment
high enough to anyone. It made the difference
between success and failure for me

Personal
trainer booking
|
|
We
have helped people with a wide range of requirements,
from working on ascent and descent techniques
when they are running cross country, to weight
management, toning, and the development of
long term training plans. |
|
Many
people are now turning to Personal Trainers
to provide more than the latest trendy class
at the gym, to provide real results. All our
sessions are outside, in the best gym of the
world: the mountains of the Lake District
or the Alps. |
|
Get
in contact to speak with one of our Personal
Trainers to discuss your requirements, and
to arrange a training session to assess your
current level, and how to develop further,
in order to achieve your goals realistically. |
|
The
focus of our style of training, is to provide
a tough but goal driven workout in an amazing
environment, and to introduce some fun back
into training. It doesn't have to be a slog
for the sake of it. We know, we've been there! |
|
For some guests the training is at walking pace, others scrambling on rougher ground, and some fell running. We aim to provide a 50:50 mixture of activity and coaching various skills for you to be able to practice afterwards. |
|
In the 2 hour session, you should expect to go no further than 10km, but be trained on fell and mountain terrain. |
|
|
|
Please
pass on my thanks for a highly inspirational
and motivational series of training
sessions. They really helped get my
mojo back, and I'm more focused than
ever before, so thanks again

Living
in the Alps, it sounds silly, but I
had never seen the mountains as my gym,
but now my eyes are opened to the potential,
and I can't wait to get out again

These
bookings have really moved by race training
up a couple of gears, and it was so
good to be trained by someone who had
competed in the race I was aiming for

we offer Virtual Personal Trainer services, to develop

to meet a Personal Trainer, as all the planning
is done over the internet. We are based in the Lake
District, and can also arrange for a meeting to
discuss a training plan, if you prefer a face to
face meeting. The key for us it to treat your training
requirements as being as unique as you.
