The penultimate challenge in Le Coeur du Chateau, a 3km open water swim at the beautiful La Sille Plage. Next year we are planning to extend the swim to 3.8km, so come join us. #swimbikerun #wildswimming #triathlonlife #sportsfestival

Festival fun. Our track warm up challenged a few of our festival goers. Bit of work to do to get some coordination back! #running #runningdrills #warmupexercise

At the festival, we welcomed campers - with dedicated showers, washing up area and fire pit. Everyone had use of the performance gym, 25m pool, lake and running trail. We even trialled a dedicated recovery area with ice baths, saunas and hot tub. #travel #goodvibes #festival

More festival magic, enjoying our local triathlon. We're proud to sponsor it and £30 for an off-road sprint is great value too. Come and enjoy the atmosphere in 2026 for this family friendly event, with a kids race too. #triathlon #triathlontraining #ironmantriathlon #swimbikerun

In preparation for the next day's triathlon, we welcomed the local volunteers for dinner and then enjoyed some fireworks. Not bad for a place in the country! #fireworks #festival #chateau

Delicious, unpretentious food, sourced locally. Not only nutritionally balanced and designed to fit with your training programme, our meus are tailored to your dietary preferences, the foods you like, so that you delight in every meal. #healthyfood #goodfood #athletefood

The first of four challenges, our century ride had 100 mile and 100 kilometre options and some stern challenges, exploring the best the region has to offer. #roadcycling #cyclinglife #swimbikerun #sportsfestival

It was great to watch Stage 8 of the Tour during our festival. Mayenne's a haven for cyclists with its own pro stage race. Why? Quiet roads, smooth pavement and glorious landscapes. Its not easy either - our Festival Ride had over 2,000m of elevation. #bike #tourdefrance #cycling

More great memories - our free swim clinic and squad sessions were great fun and hopefully guests feel more comfortable and efficient in the water. Open water stroke analysis coming soon to London. 20 free places, so watch this space!

Lovely photography retreat, even my very uneducated eye was in awe of dawn at Ste Suzanne. #photography #beinspired #captureyourimagination #feelbetter

Keep running and reduce your risk of injury. Incorporate some calf raises into your schedule. #loverunning #ultrarunning #trailrunning #keeprunning

Looking forward to welcoming Paul Mitchell and 10 photographers for our Spring 2025 Capture your Imagination retreat today and tomorrow.  Beautiful skies yesterday on our way to the Chateau. #photography #landscapephotography #blueskies #skies

CPET helps beginners and experienced athletes realise their potential, making training efficient and more effective. The protocols and equipment we use are reliable, research proven and only available in sports performance labs. Even better they're free on most of our camps.

Sometimes we feel so lucky to be able to enjoy nature close up. Take a moment to look what's around and be inspired. #feelbetter #naturelover #escapetothechateau #escapetothechateaudiy

A great long weekend break at our spring Run Well escape.

Forget about AG1 or IM8, make your own super greens powder, its cheaper, better for you and more adaptable. #foodiefridays #foodiefriday #healthysupplements #superfoods

Creative activities positively impact brain function by boosting cognitive flexibility, reducing stress, and promoting emotional well-being. We're adding Bridge, Cookery and Motorsports Photography to our existing creative escapes. 

Solve our Brainteaser. Keep your brain active.

Which running shoes? An easy way to compare running economy.
1. Warm up, then note Base HR.
2. Run 1km at target pace, noting average HR.
3. Change shoes, recover to Base HR, repeat.

Lower average HR should more economical.
