What the race asks of your training

An ideal first 10K

Flat course, music, wave starts: it is a good race for a first 10K. In 8 to 10 weeks, three runs a week are enough to finish it running, without walking.

A build-up through the summer

To race on 12 September, an 8 to 10-week build-up starts in early July and runs through the holidays. Running early in the morning when it is hot, and keeping at least two runs a week even when travelling, matters more than volume.

Pick your pen from a real time

The 10K pen is chosen at registration, from your target time. A 5 km test during the build-up gives a reliable estimate of your 10K time, so you start with runners of your level and do not get carried away.

The plan below prepares the Course 10 km format, for an athlete at intermediate level with 4 days available per week, with race day on 12 September 2027. Aiming for another format?

Why this plan works

Science-based periodisation

Base → build → specific → taper, with a recovery week every 3 to 4 weeks. Load goes up, but never two hard weeks in a row without a breather.

Paces, not vague feelings

Every session has target zones (pace, HR) computed from your MAS or a reference performance. A MAS test is built into the plan if you don't know yours.

A plan that listens

After each session you rate how it felt (RPE). Too hard? The plan eases what follows. Skipped a session? It reschedules or absorbs it.

On your watch

On Garmin with the Endu app, on COROS by direct sync: the guided workout shows up on your wrist, step by step.

4.8/5

  • “I used to spend more time looking for a plan than following one. Now I have my sessions, I know what to do and I stick to it. Really glad I tried it.”

    Thomas · Running

  • “Training for my first half marathon and honestly, I’m getting into it! I even look at my next sessions ahead of time, when before I was mostly looking for an excuse not to go out 😂”

    Camille · Running

  • “Simple to follow and really handy with the watch. I start my session and off I go.”

  • “What I like is no longer asking myself a thousand questions before going for a run. I follow the plan and I enjoy training.”

    Nicolas · Trail

  • “With work and the kids, I thought I’d struggle to follow a plan. In the end, having a structure helps me a lot. Running has found a real place in my week again, and it feels good!”

  • “I run more regularly and, above all, with more desire. For that alone, I’m delighted.”

Frequently asked questions

When is La Parisienne 2027?
On Sunday 12 September 2027, for the 30th edition, with a 9 am start and a race village open from Friday 10 to Sunday 12 September. The 2026 edition, the 29th, took place on Sunday 13 September.
When does registration for La Parisienne 2027 open?
The date is not announced yet: the official site says registration is not open for 2027. The first 1,000 bibs are sold at the lowest price, so it pays to register as soon as it opens.
Where do I collect my La Parisienne bib?
At the race village, Stade Émile-Anthoine, 2 Avenue de Suffren, on Friday 10 September 12pm to 7:30pm or Saturday 11 September 10am to 7pm, with your ID and e-ticket. No bib is handed out on the Sunday or sent by post; someone else can collect it with a copy of your ID.
How long is La Parisienne?
Three formats on the Sunday: a 10 km run, a 7 km run and a 7 km walk.
Is La Parisienne open to men?
The runs and the walk are for women only, aged 16 and over. The race village and the Saturday yoga session are open to everyone.
La Parisienne: how many weeks of preparation?
For an athlete at intermediate level, Endu builds a 11-week preparation. If your race is closer, the plan compresses phases while keeping the taper; if it's further away, it lengthens the preparation, and when the gap is large the preparation starts right away, gently and at your current volume, before building up.
Is this plan well built?
Pass at Endu’s plan check, the same as for any plan: 14 of 14 checks passed. A 11-week build (recommended minimum: 6); a longest run never more than 7% above the previous month’s; volume rising at most 11% from one week to the next; 87% of the time at easy effort; a taper cutting volume by 45% in race week. The rules and their sources are public on endu.fr/en/controle-technique.
How many sessions per week?
This example has 4 sessions per week. You choose 3 to 7 training days and the exact days (e.g. Tue, Thu, Sat, Sun): the plan sticks to them.
I'm a beginner, is this plan for me?
The plan adapts to your declared level (beginner to semi-pro): starting volume, progression and intensity change. Endu also offers a "Discovery" mode without a race to build a base first.
Can I follow sessions on my watch?
Yes, on Garmin and COROS. On Garmin, the Endu app (Connect IQ Store) shows today’s session and starts it as a guided workout. On COROS, link your account from your profile: your running, trail and cycling sessions land in the watch calendar. Other brands are not supported yet.
How much does it cost?
14-day free trial, then €7.99/month with no commitment or €59.88/year (€4.99/month). Unlimited objectives and sports.
