Running coaching in Brussels

First 10K, half, marathon or trail: the plan is built around your life, not the other way round. I coach Brussels runners of every level, a short walk from the Bois de la Cambre and the Sonian Forest.

The ground we work on

The studio sits at 27 boulevard de la Cambre, at the entrance to the woods. The loops of the Bois de la Cambre for threshold work, the Sonian Forest for long runs and elevation, the neighbourhood stairs for hill work: all of it reachable on foot from the door.

For a Brussels runner that is a luxury, and it changes the quality of the sessions. No car journey before you start running.

Running faster goes through the weights room

A runner who only runs eventually gets injured, or stalls. Targeted strength work — posterior chain, glutes, calves, core — is what lets you absorb volume and hold a clean stride when fatigue arrives.

It is often the part runners neglect, and the part that produces the clearest gains across a season. Two strength sessions a week are enough to change things.

A plan, not a template

Training plans found online assume a typical week that nobody actually has. Yours starts from your real calendar: three slots on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday, or whatever you can hold without wrecking the rest of your life.

We adjust week by week based on what the sessions give back. A bad week is not a failure, it is information.

Frequently asked questions

I have never run. Where do I start?

With walk-run intervals, in short blocks, three times a week. Most beginners run too fast and give up after a month. The first job is learning to run slowly.

How long to prepare for a first 10K?

Eight to ten weeks for someone starting from zero but in good health. For a half marathon, count on twelve to sixteen weeks from a 10K base.

I get injured regularly. What changes?

We look first at volume, how it progresses and your shoes, then fill the strength gaps that come up most often. If the injury is current, a physiotherapist comes before the training.

Can you write me a plan without in-person sessions?

Yes, that is the online coaching: a personal programme, regular adjustments and one coaching session every three months.
