Why use a personalized training plan?

No two runners are the same. A one-size-fits-all plan might get you started, but it won’t adapt when life happens, when you improve, or when your goals shift. That’s where personalized training makes the difference.

A well-designed plan increases mileage and intensity gradually, allowing your body to adapt and grow stronger without risking injury. You’ll build endurance, improve efficiency, and develop speed in a sustainable way - so you can keep progressing week after week.

Personalization also means every detail is shaped around you: your fitness level, your schedule, your strengths, and your weaknesses. Struggle with consistency? Your plan can help you build routine. Training around work, family, or another sport? It flexes with your lifestyle. Returning from injury? It adjusts to keep you safe and rebuild confidence step by step.

The right plan doesn’t just tell you what to run. It connects your sessions with recovery, strength, and nutrition, ensuring you have the full toolkit to train smarter, not harder. With this structure in place, you’ll unlock your potential, reduce the risk of setbacks, and - most importantly - enjoy the process of becoming a stronger, more resilient runner.

Hi! You’ve taken the hardest step: getting started. Whether it’s a race, a distance, or just running stronger, we’ll keep you on track week by week - so you reach the finish line confident, prepared, and proud.

Uitleg over workouts

Your personalized training plan includes a mix of sessions - each with a clear purpose. Here’s what they are and how they’ll help you on race day.

Rustige loop

Easy runs are slower, conversational-paced runs. They build fitness while giving your body time to recover, so you’re fresh for the harder sessions.

Heuvels

Long runs are steady efforts at an easy pace, gradually building distance. They improve endurance and efficiency so you can go further with confidence and maintain form deep into your runs.

Intervalsessies

Hill reps are hard efforts run uphill with an easy jog or walk back down. They build leg strength, power, and running form - helping you stay efficient and resilient at any distance.

Lange termijn

Intervals are short, fast bursts with recovery in between. They boost speed and running economy, making goal pace at any distance feel more comfortable and sustainable.

Herstelloop

Recovery runs are very short, very easy jogs after tough sessions. They help loosen muscles, improve circulation, and get your legs ready for the next key workout without strain.

Versnellingen

Strides are short, fast bursts of running (10–20 seconds) that boost speed and running form. They sharpen leg turnover and form, leaving you feeling quicker and more efficient.

Temposessies

Tempo runs are sustained efforts at a “comfortably hard” pace. They build the strength and speed endurance to hold faster paces for longer, whatever your goal distance.

Time Trial

Time trials are your chance to put your training to the test - running a set distance at your strongest, most sustainable effort. They highlight how far you’ve come, build confidence, and give you the focus to push for even bigger gains.
