What is the benefit of attending a training camp? There is a 3 day camp in my area every March and I have thought of going but I am not sure what benefit people look for when they go to something like that. I figure that people who need to get motivated at the begining of the year get a kick start and beginners learn a lot of valuable info all in one place, but for someone with a few years under his or her belt what is there to gain? Is it mostly social? Are the training sessions that much more productive than regular training with my normal riding or running group? Of course I am stating all this from the standpoint of someone who has not had a problem with motivation yet and I know the educational aspects vary widely among camps. Just though it would be great to here from those who have attending a camp.
