Central Coast Camp
The same coast as the July camp, twenty degrees cooler.
House of Triathlon camp · Hội An 2026
About This Camp
The season opener. February on the Da Nang / Hoi An coast is dry, around 24°C and comfortable all day: the opposite of the July camp on the same roads, and deliberately so. This is the week for the athlete coming out of a northern winter who wants volume in daylight and warm water, without spending the first three days learning to cope with 34°C. Full triathlon terrain from a base with an international airport.
Camp Focus
A first real training block of the year on the central coast, run in the dry, mild window before the heat arrives. Long coastal rides, ocean swimming in water that is still calm, and enough climbing on the Hai Van road to make the week count.

What these sessions are
- Arrival
- Land, build the bike, meet the group. Nothing is trained on the first day.
- Evening debrief
- The group sits down with the coaches: the day's data, pacing, fuelling, and what changes tomorrow.
- Open water
- Sea or sheltered-water swimming as a group, with cover on the water.
- Endurance ride
- Steady aerobic riding, at a pace you could hold all day. Most of a camp week is this.
- Easy run
- Running kept genuinely easy, off the bike or on its own.
- Pool swim
- Technique and a structured set, in a pool, where the set can actually be held.
- Climbing block
- Sustained uphill work, on the best climbing road the base has.
- Recovery
- Mobility, an easy swim, or nothing. The session that makes the next hard one possible.
- Bike intervals
- Structured efforts above endurance pace, with the recoveries written in.
- Free
- Nothing scheduled. The afternoon is yours.
- Long ride
- The long day on the bike. Route recced before you arrive, support vehicle following.
- Brick
- Bike then run, back to back. The part of a race you cannot rehearse one discipline at a time.
- Departure
- Bikes packed, transfers out. The camp closes on the Friday it opened on.
Indicative structure, not a contract. Sessions move for the weather, the sea and the group that turns up. There are deliberately no durations, distances or intensities here: those get written for the athletes actually on the camp, once the coaches have seen them train.
The destination
About Da Nang / Hoi An
Best season
February for the cool coast · July for peak heat
Terrain
Coastal / Heat / Heritage
The flagship. Hot, humid tropical conditions, an international airport, and a complete triathlon playground: rolling coastal roads, the Hai Van Pass for climbing, and ocean open-water swimming. UNESCO Hoi An is a few kilometres away.
Why train here
Hot, humid conditions are the most differentiating argument in the whole offer: a real, full-scale rehearsal of hot-race conditions. South of Hoi An, open coast and a hot drying wind reproduce the Kona sensation. International airport makes it the most travel-friendly base for athletes flying in with a bike. February is the other face of the same coast: 24°C, dry, and the sea still swimmable.
