What sums up Embrace sports?On a blank piece of paper, with no limitations or restrictions, we wanted to change the way training holidays were delivered and challenge the mindset about what a ‘training camp’ could be.

If you are going to use your annual leave to go away and train, you might as well get a great holiday as well, Embrace Sports

    Much, much more than just a running holiday.

    From the moment you arrive at Faro Airport, you are welcomed into a ‘family’ of like minded people, many of whom you will become life-long friends with.

    Coaches and Runners all enthusiastic about the week ahead. Drive to camp is good chatting to 1st timers and seasoned ‘Embracers’, sharing knowledge of what is to come in the week. On arrival at Girimar, greeted by some new and some familiar faces – a great group of people, of all ages.

    The Running – a selection of training sessions (twice daily), varying in terrain, speed, difficulty and distance. All sessions tailored to suit everyone’s needs and abilities. Each runner fully supported and encouraged at their own specific level.

    Additional Sessions – several additional sessions were on offer, Strength and Conditioning, Core, Stretching, etc. Nutrition, Q & A, Great if you need a little help in these areas.

    The Food – amazing!! All food freshly cooked every day (apart from the 2 meals out), prepared and cooked by the coaches (with a little prep help from willing hands)(all part of the fun chopping in the sun) Plenty of food to go round, often more than once, and always a little for left overs the next day! Next day left overs are the Best!

    Accommodation – as always – spacious apartments, spotlessly clean and equipped to perfection.

    Swimming pool, paddling pool, table tennis, Pool table, everything needed to enjoy your free time, if not busy sun bathing. Also a wide selection of foam rollers, prickly balls, etc, which you will make full use of during the week. 🙂

    Location – close to town and beaches in all directions. The views and scenery are outstanding. Really friendly area to stay, locals are great and extremely welcoming.

    Overall, whilst I’m not the fastest runner, I always take something away with me after each trip. New facts learned, new PB’s, new friends, an extra few lbs (this is not a weight loss camp, food is just too good!) But most of all – great memories – memories of each of the Embrace holidays I have been on. Its what makes me want to go back each year, again and again!
