Frequently asked questions

How many weeks to prepare for Super sprint triathlon?
For an athlete at advanced level, Endu builds a 9-week preparation. If your race is closer, the plan compresses phases while keeping the taper; if it's further away, it extends the base phase.
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.
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.
