COMMUNITIES
The feeling of “belonging” begings on the first day someone contacts myathlete. Joining a community that shares common goals and aspirations makes you feel stronger. The encouragement of the group, the support of the fellow athlete, the sharing of the fatigue from training makes the effort easier. Even in individual sports such as running, swimming, cycling or even triathlon, the team dynamic “pushes” you to go forward, to reach further.
But the biggest advantage of myathlete community is smiling while training, racing, most importantly participating. We create moments and memories”together”, we create bonds that give us wings and we enjoy our common steps!

During the training camps we create the optimum conditions for the athletes to be able to focus on the training, have the nutrition needed to support it and complete rest/recovery time. In addition, team training is a great opportunity for teaching and learning the correct exercise techniques that result in improved performance both in training and in races.
TRAINING
1. MARATHON TRAINING
Since 2012 and every year we organize two long run trainings (30 km) in September and October on the Authentic Marathon route. These runs allow either experienced runners to do a training-simulation of the race, or “newbies” to have an initial experience of what they will encounter on Marathon Day. The starting point is given at the official start of the Marathon race.
Participants are gathered and transported by coach from the city center to Marathon. Along the route there are fuel stations every 5 km. so runners don’t have to carry anything. Also, their personal belongings are taken to the finish at the 30th km where kiosks with massages and restorative treatments have been set up in a dedicated area.
In October 2023 the entries exceeded all expectations creating a unique record of 550 runners.
2. SWIMMING TRAINING
Every Saturday in Vouliagmeni a team training takes place for our members which is also open to non-members. Responsible for organizing and conducting the open water swimming training is the experienced myathlete coach and swimming champion Europe Kakogiannaki.
