" John has helped me a lot with his broad knowledge on so much running topics, and his training plan that focused on developing specific areas of my running that I needed to make progress.
The most valuable aspect for me was to learn to focus on my heart rate during training. He taught me more about how to calculate my target heart rate for different workout types.
I would recommend his coaching to anyone, as we have good communication, he is a very professional coach (and also an olympic athlete), and he created an exceptional schedule which made me progress a lot and enjoy the journey. "

" Having John as a coach has really improved my running, helping me get my 10 km time under 35 minutes. In one month, I managed to cut 3 minutes off my time. When I was looking for a coach, I knew I wanted someone with experience, and now I feel like I'm on the right track. After an injury that kept me from running for a year and a half, I felt pretty hopeless. John's knowledge has been amazing. We’ve talked about preventing achilles injuries, nutrition, and the best running shoes. He clearly knows his stuff and always gives great advice. I chose John because you don’t get as fast as he is without learning a lot along the way. I genuinely think he's a great coach because of that."

My bio
I’m an Olympic 5000m finalist with a passion for running distances from 1500m to the half-marathon. I've coached athletes of all levels: from hybrid athletes competing in HYROX, to first-time marathoners, or I even made athletes represent their countre-y in international competitions.
Your favorite workout ?
I cannot choose between two ones:
First, I love the good old-fashioned 10km tempo workout at a comfortably hard pace. But I also love the following brutal race-specific workout: 6x1000m at 5km pace. I remember running them from 2'37/km to 2'28/km, right before the Olympics.

My bio
I have an hybrid profile: professional running coach and French literature teacher. For now, I train high level middle distance athletes from Belgium, France, Luxembourg and even Portugal. My work is to lead everyone of the athletes I coach to the best of themselves through national and international level in running/Track&Field.
Your favorite workout ?
​As a coach, I would say it depends of the event you are preparing for. Every step of the prep is interesting when I am always looking for the athlete to reach the next step before we go further. But if I had to choose it's a mixed Combo Workout of threshold + VO2 work. For example : 6k at threshold (around HM pace) followed by 6x600 at VO2 (around 5k pace) with 200m jog rest.

My bio
I am Lander, a dedicated 1500m (3'46) runner from Belgium with a Master’s degree in Sport Science. During my studies, I specialised in biomechanics research, with a focus on running economy and supershoes. Now, I bring my passion and expertise to coaching, working with middle- and long-distance runners to help them train smarter and stay injury-free. My goal is simple: to equip runners with the tools to reach their goals confidently and unlock their full potential!
Your favorite workout ?
3 x 4 x 300 @ 1500m tempo. Starting a little slower than 1500 race pace and progressing to somewhat faster in the end. Doing this workout gives me confidence for the upcoming races!!

John has been instrumental in helping me achieve my running goals. His personalized approach and consistent support have kept me motivated and on track. By taking a step back and focusing on foundational training, he helped me build a solid base that has paid off tremendously.
Since being coached by John, I've noticed substantial improvements in my running performance. My endurance has increased, my pace has improved, and I recover faster after long runs.
His expertise, personalized approach, and genuine dedication to his athletes' success make him an outstanding coach.

We love accompagnying each runner in their personal journey, no matter their level. We know what it takes to achieve great running results and we'd love to help you achieve your running goal(s) as well.
Our training phylosophy is the one that made our current athletes win medals at the global stage, but adapted to your level. It is volume and threshold (zone 3) focused. However, don't expect a uniquely developed training method by some random running guru. It's simply the training phylosophy that most of the elite (middle-) distance runners apply. Robust and effective.
