Sports break: preparing for my first triathlon at the CPO in Vittel

Prepare for your first triathlon during a sports course alongside other enthusiasts! Organized at the CPO in Vittel, this course offered by Les Endurants focuses on 3 fundamental areas: training, skills and health. Endurance experts will guide you through tailor-made sessions, enabling you to experience your first triathlon with complete confidence.

Alongside triathlon coach Lucas, you’ll learn the basics of triathlon while benefiting from personalized coaching. You’ll benefit from the top-of-the-range facilities at the CPO in Vittel: indoor swimming pool, indoor athletics track, connected bikes, all in an exceptional natural setting. This all-inclusive course includes accommodation, catering, coaching and access to the spa, so you can concentrate on your preparation.

On Friday January 31, your adventure begins in the early afternoon at the CPO in Vittel. After checking into your room and getting to know the other participants, Lucas will take you for a first pool session, during which a video analysis of your technique will be carried out. You’ll continue with a 6-minute running test on the athletics track to assess your level. The day concludes with a presentation of triathlon rules and practical tips, followed by a convivial dinner.

The following day, after a hearty breakfast, you’ll return to the pool for a technical session dedicated to improving your swimming ease. Lucas will correct your areas for improvement and help you gain confidence in the water. You’ll then move on to a stretching and muscle-strengthening session, essential for preventing injury and optimizing your performance. After lunch and a well-deserved siesta, you’ll train on one of the key stages of triathlon: transitions. Lucas will guide you through practical exercises to optimize these strategic moments, such as gearing up quickly, preparing for the transition and getting on your bike. At the end of the day, you’ll relax at the Vittel spa before dinner and an overnight stay at the CPO.

On Sunday, February 2, your final day begins with a hearty breakfast, followed by a fun swimming session. Through relays and water games, you’ll work on your technical skills while having fun. After this session, Lucas will talk about nutrition, a crucial aspect of triathlon, and teach you how to adapt your diet to triathlon. You’ll have lunch before finishing the course with a mini triathlon. This will be an opportunity to put into practice what you’ve learnt over the weekend, and to test the sequence of the 3 disciplines in a controlled environment.

This course takes place both indoors and outdoors, but weather conditions can sometimes influence the program. If the conditions are not right, the supervisor will adapt and adjust the activities accordingly. A new date will be proposed in the event of postponement, and a refund will be given if you are unable to attend.
