On Saturday 15 and Sunday 16 May 2027, according to the club website. The day-by-day programme is not published yet: in 2026 the XS and S were on Saturday, the L and M on Sunday (17 May).

How do you enter the Angers triathlon?

Online on Klikego, via angerstriathlon.fr. Entries for 2027 are announced to open in December 2026. In 2026 the individual S sold out.

Where is the Angers triathlon swim?

In the Lac de Maine, in Angers. The race village and transition area are on the lakeside esplanade.

Triathlon d'Angers: how many weeks of preparation?

For an athlete at intermediate level, Endu builds a 15-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.

How many sessions per week?

This example has 5 sessions per week. You choose 4 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.

The 2026 course

Everything starts from the Lac de Maine esplanade. The M swims in the lake, then rides a 44.9 km loop according to the race book (about 400 m of climbing), and finishes with two run loops, 9.4 km in all. The L rides the bike loop twice (91.6 km) and runs four loops (18.6 km).

What the race asks of your training

A bike leg a little over 40 km

The M is billed as 40 km with about 400 m of climbing, but the 2026 course in the race book measures 44.9 km in a single loop. Long rides of 50 km or more, with a few blocks at race pace, give you a margin to finish the bike without eating into the run.

Lake swimming in mid-May

The M and L swim in the Lac de Maine, early in the season. Swimming in open water a few times in the spring, in the wetsuit you will race in, helps you handle the mass start and sighting, which the pool does not train.

An early-afternoon start

In 2026 the M started at 1:40 pm. Rehearsing one or two key sessions at that time of day, testing what you eat in the morning and during the race, avoids discovering a heavy stomach or a sugar crash on race day.

Linking bike and run

The M run is two loops. Bricks of bike followed by 15 to 20 minutes of running at target pace, every week late in the build-up, teach you to find your rhythm straight out of transition.

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.

Three disciplines, one load

Swim, bike and run are planned together: brick sessions, key sessions spread out, and a coherent total load week after week.

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.

“For triathlon, having all three sports in the same schedule really makes my life easier. I spend less time organising my training and I still enjoy following it just as much.”
Maxime · Triathlon
“At first I just wanted to try it. Now checking the next day’s session has become my little evening ritual 😊”
Sarah · Triathlon
“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.”
Julien · Running
“I took Endu to prepare a trail race with friends. I really like having my week already organised: it motivates me and I enjoy my runs more.”
Émilie · Trail
“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!”
Julie · Trail
“A good find to prepare my swimrun! It’s nice to find a plan for this sport. I’ve recommended it to my teammate.”
Antoine · Swimrun
“I run more regularly and, above all, with more desire. For that alone, I’m delighted.”
Laura · Swimrun
