.
🏊 Swim Preparation for the Vendée Globe Canal
The race begins with a point-to-point swim through the scenic Vendée Globe canal. Our plan includes video-guided swim drills to improve efficiency, body position, and open-water confidence. From beach starts to sighting practice, you'll be prepared for canal currents and navigating in a crowd.
.
🚴 Ride Strong Through the Vendée Region
The 91 km bike course rolls through forests, salt marshes, and coastal roads, with 600 meters of elevation gain. You’ll build power and stamina through heart rate-based intervals, endurance rides, and hill-focused sessions designed to mirror the terrain. Progressive weekly volumes ensure steady adaptation, minimizing overuse risk.
.
🏃 Run Ready Along Les Remblai Promenade
With two flat laps totaling 21.1 km, including a short beach section and loops around Lake Tanchet, this run demands consistency and focus. Our plan builds gradually from run-walk intervals to longer tempo efforts, supporting your aerobic base and mental stamina for race day.
