Nick Wildman

An early trip to Africa changed the course of his life, it led to the British Army and the world of adventure.

I first met Graingey prior to an operational deployment to Afghanistan in 2002. We were beasted daily during the months of arduous build-up training and then served together on the same team. Living side by side in that austere environment you develop a great bond, he has been a long standing and trusted friend ever since.

Nick has led expeditions, travelled and worked extensively around the world. He has often returned to Africa. His favourite destinations are the mountains of Morocco, the Arctic and the Himalayas. Not only do these experiences give you a positive mental reference point for the future but they introduce you to cultures and people you would have never have met… a part of them stays with you when you leave.

Taking part in adventurous challenges is the only way to test your mettle to see if you have the mental and physical robustness to thrive in an ever-changing and occasionally demanding landscape. It’s where your confidence, self-esteem and humility are cultivated and humour shows its rich value. Races and events are great ways to keep you motivated in the short term but they do not live long in the memory.

Trident was born out of a passion for seeking out challenging experiences, to stretch the comfort zone and get the very best out of yourself. Above all, we are about enjoying incredible experiences with a superb team of positive likeminded people.

Going on a challenging adventure, being immersed in amazing wilderness and enjoying the company of good people… there’s never been a time when we need these experiences more than we do now.

Sign up now for your next adventure and we’ll see you on the hills soon!

Arctic Cold Weather Drills

The arctic is a stunning environment to operate in, the skills and drills you learn there are massively transferable. Things can take a little longer to do, so your personal

Which RTG is for me?

Not sure which Remote Training Group is best suited to your specific needs? Don't worry we have got you covered, just answer a few questions below and we can give you our recommendation!
Are you training for an event that requires you to carry weight?

Let's learn some more about your event...

Does your chosen event or focus include inclines and declines?
Does your chosen event or focus require you to work across undulating rough ground, where foot placement can sometimes be rocky, poor ground underfoot?
Is your chosen event or focus under 12 miles?
Is your chosen event or focus on adventure type racing or assault course inclusion?

Your personalised recommendation...

The following recommendations are based on your answers. If you sign-up for any of our remote training groups (RTGs) one of our team will discuss your specific needs with you in more detail. This will ensure you get the maximum benefits to achieve your target.
Include progressive programming through strength and conditioning to improve your baseline S&C and robustness at a tendon, ligament, and muscular level. Move through running, cross country running and then fell running to allow the adaptations in your balancing muscles and coordination and thus agility. Advanced strength training to improve capacity to include training with weight over undulating ground when you are capable and efficient, to hill reps and weighted tempo sessions to build that strength lactate threshold and multi-system taxing above and beyond weight and duration of event.
Progressive running program to include cross training such as Bike work and strength and conditioning.
Inclusion of progressive Bergen weighted work on inclines at speed for tempo rate sessions to improve strength and lactate threshold, shorter duration rep work to improve VO2 max and power rate.
Quality speed work program with and without weight to improve your flat speed. Inclusion of some interval and tempo work on inclines. Cross country running to hit balancing muscles and improve coordination and overall flat speed. Later progress tempo into longer speed for endurance sessions.
Progression onto fell running with and without weight to improve strength and conditioning and power, thus allowing latter sessions to work hard off the beaten track to facilitate efficiencies at a coordination and balance level. Hill work with weight. Include cross graining on fitness days with weight or fell running, working hard on down hills.
Lighter inclusion into off road/track fell running to improve conditioning leg strength and balance. Progressive program to set training targets above goal weight and duration to improve capacity at higher rate.
Work hard at improving VO2 max and Lactate threshold levels, shorter power sessions to include hill reps, tempo work and strength and conditioning cross training such as inclusion of jump squats and burpees into interval sessions. Working towards speed over distance training between 1-3 miles x 4 with efficiency rate recoveries.
Increasing long slow distance, hill work and endurance sessions to allow for Mitochondria efficiency and increase. Progressing into heavy weighted hill running emphasis on incline and decline speed and efficiency midline rate. Progressing to be able to put the power down for extended periods. Strength and conditioning reducing in the latter period to take up the slack on increased capacity building.
Baseline strength and conditioning to improve flexibility, strength and coordination moving to deficit style training to explore capabilities before failure. Multi-disciplined training sessions to allow for multi system taxing.
