A training camp can help you build early season fitness, but you need to be ready to do the work. This includes having a clear understanding of what you hope to achieve from the training camp, such as improved endurance, stronger performance in specific events, or a higher level of fitness. Creating the time to plan and prepare for the training camp will help you to maximize the benefits and achieve your goals.

• Outline your goal outcomes for the camp.
• Set milestones for training to reach that level of fitness.
• Have a packing list for camp.
• Review and capture all logistical elements.
• Plan in recovery before and after camp.
