Hey runners! 🌞 Are you ready to kickstart your summer season with a 2-4 week training camp in one of the most beautiful places on Earth? Tenerife is calling, and we’re putting together an unforgettable experience for amateur runners like us who want to train, explore, and have fun in the sun! ☀️ ▶️What’s the Plan? We’re a small group of passionate runners from Estonia decided to escape cold and grey Northern Europe for best conditions for training in a last minute planning to spend March in Tenerife. As a certified running coach, I’ve designed a flexible training plan that combines: - Trail running (steep, technical, and scenic routes). - Flat runs for endurance and recovery - Interval sessions and uphill strides - Altitude training (hello, Mount Teide!) - Strength work to prevent injuries and improve running economy - Stadium sessions for structured workout But it’s not just about running! This is also about enjoying the island, meeting new people, and making memories. Whether you’re a middle-distance or long-distance runner, or just someone who loves staying active, this is for you. We will adjust training Intensity for everyone. Who Is This For? - Middle-distance and long-distance runners looking to build volume and intensity for the summer season - Trail runners who want to explore Tenerife’s stunning landscapes - Anyone who loves running and wants to combine training with a sunny, active holiday - Hikers or those who prefer to join only easy recovery runs and strength sessions i—you’re welcome too! What’s Included? - Training Plan: A mix of trail runs, flat runs, intervals, strength work, and altitude training. - Flexibility: Join as many or as few sessions as you like. This is your holiday too! - Strength Work: Special focus on injury prevention and running economy. - Exploration: Hike, swim, or relax on the beach between runs. - Community: Train with like-minded runners and make new friends. Logistics - Accommodation: We’ll find a rental that fits the group size (the more people, the better the options!). - Transport: We’ll rent a car to explore the island and access trailheads. - Costs: Shared expenses for accommodation, car rental, and other group activities plus very affordable fee for coaching and organisation. Second coach available in the island for second group who want to explore slowly. ( specializes in trail-running, ultras)

Since many of you in this community are from Estonia, I wanted to share an exciting race opportunity for the late summer season of 2025. 🌟 👉 Heavy Metal Ultra – a Backyard Ultra event happening on 10 August 2025 in Keila, Estonia, just outside Tallinn 🇪🇪 For those unfamiliar, a Backyard Ultra is a truly unique challenge: you run a 6.7 km loop every hour, on the hour, until only one runner remains. It’s a test of endurance, strategy, grit, and resilience like no other. I participated in this race last year, and it was an absolute blast! Beyond the fun, it was also an incredible learning experience that pushed me to discover new limits. Whether you're aiming for your first 50k, 80k, 100k, or even 160k+, this format is perfect for testing yourself, dialing in your fueling strategy, and seeing what you’re really made of. 👊 This is not a sponsored or affiliated post. I have nothing to do with the event. It's just a unique and fun race I believe any seasoned runner should try. Race has a limited 100 spots and as of today there's only around 25 spots left. Backyard Ultras are exploding in popularity, and for good reason. It’s not just a race – it’s an experience. There are many Backyard Ultras all around eastern Europe, but HMU is one of the oldest and original. Have you heard of a Backyard Ultra before? Maybe you’ve even participated in one? How many loops do you think you could complete?
