Thessaloniki Training Weekend 🇬🇷🚴♂️🏃♂️Know your numbers. Understand your body. Train smarter.
Join us for a special training weekend in Thessaloniki, Greece, combining scientific performance testing, endurance training, running technique, and the opportunity to learn and train together.
The weekend will take place under the guidance of **Nikolaos Sideris**, an accomplished triathlon coach and athlete, with the valuable support of **Coach Age**, a Greek coach and athlete who has been active in Bulgaria for the past 10 years.
Friday – Performance Testing at Ziogas Lab
Our weekend begins with performance testing at Ziogas Lab, giving athletes a clearer understanding of their current fitness and the data needed to train more effectively.
Depending on the tests performed, athletes will have the opportunity to assess:
- Overall fitness level and current endurance performance.
- VO₂ max — the body's maximum capacity to take in and use oxygen during exercise.
- Lactate threshold — an important indicator for understanding sustainable exercise intensity and endurance performance.
- Individual heart rate training zones, based on physiological testing.
- Power-based training zones, using cycling power output in watts, to better understand the relationship between heart rate, power, and exercise intensity.
The goal is to move beyond guessing training intensities and give athletes valuable information to help structure their training according to their individual physiology and performance.
Saturday – Coastal Road Cycling 🚴♂️
We will head out for a group ride of approximately 100 km on road bikes, enjoying the beautiful coastal scenery around Thessaloniki.
This will be a great opportunity to build endurance, improve our cycling fitness, and share a quality training experience together.
Sunday – Running Technique & Training 🏃♂️
On Sunday, we will have a dedicated running session at the auxiliary stadium of Kaftatzoglio Stadium.
This practical lesson will focus on learning how to run efficiently, understanding proper running technique, and progressing towards identifying and developing our individual running paces.
The goal is not simply to run more, but to understand how to run better, how to control our effort, and how to train at the right speeds.
After the session, we will enjoy a well-deserved brunch together before departing for Bulgaria.
The Goal
A weekend dedicated to performance, education, endurance, and community — learning from experienced coaches, testing our limits, and becoming better athletes together.
