🚀Two minutes faster at the Brussels 20km! Even though the climbs out of the tunnels felt tough, he hung in there and gave it his all until the very end!

👏Well done Liebrecht on this great progress! A fantastic training session to kick off your preparation for your first marathon!

🌍Our first runner to enter the Sinksenjogging Bavikhove 10K (world-famous race in Harelbeke? 🙃), took up running last autumn.

🦵Drawing on her history in rowing and fitness, she progressed quickly. When an injury interrupted her preparation, she remained unwavering, restarted patiently from scratch, and made it to the start line anyway.

🥵Despite the hot weather on race day, Emma stayed strong and clocked an average pace below 6:00 min/km.

👏An excellent first experience!

🚀Taking on the 10K leg, Marie faced a sudden, fast handoff from her son Martin and had to jump right into the action.

🦵Even with an intense start, she pushed through the dark forest sections ("c'était un peu flippant") and dug deep during a demanding ninth kilometer to finish with an excellent sprint.

💪NB: In the picture the team of 5 before the start

🥸After a break from running for several years and struggling with a dodgy achilles tendon, Kevin reached out to us for some guidance. We focused on rebuilding his routine from the ground up and his physio tackled a mobility issue that was at the core of his injury troubles.
We kept the focus entirely on the fundamentals to ensure he had a positive, healthy experience back on the race course.

💪On May 3rd, it was mission achieved. Kevin crossed the finish line in an excellent 1:50:54, a rock-solid 5:15min/km pace.

🔭Now that the foundations are firmly laid out, we are excited to look ahead to an autumn challenge and help him take the next steady step up in his running journey!

🦵Nothing scares Michaël Raets ! A former 400m runner, he now expresses himself on longer distances and road races. After completing his first marathon last year in Visé, he returned this year to tackle the half-marathon.

🎢💨Despite the elevation gain concentrated in the second half of the race and a strong wind (just look at the flags!), he didn't give up. It was a great performance that has left him hungry for more!

👏 , our team’s resident chef, just treated himself to his very first marathon in the Czech capital! And it’s safe to say that Prague didn't make it easy for him, offering up some pretty tough weather conditions. The sun was definitely shining a bit too brightly over the city 🥵

🦵In fact, things got so intense during the week that the organizers decided to move the start time up by an hour. But that wasn’t enough to discourage Marco! He hit the starting line more motivated than ever (even if he was a little nervous).

🤩It was a fantastic first experience, and we hope it’s just the first of many to come!

🤓After improving his PB in Malaga in December last year, Riccardo and his friends set their sights on Bergen in 2026. The surprise came quickly: there was in fact a significant hill to climb in the first third of the race.

🦵Nevertheless, Riccardo’s training metrics were looking very strong, so we both knew there was a small chance he could go for that PB. What followed went beyond what either of us had imagined: Riccardo improved by an impressive 14sec/km and crossed the finish line in 1h41’56 🔥

✈️At this pace, Riccardo feet were barely touching the ground (see picture). We’re still waiting to hear whether the organizers will disqualify him for flying 😅

👏A new personal best for Carlos at the Antwerp 10 Miles! This city really suits him. The atmosphere, the course, and the sun (maybe a bit too much of it!) were all there. Pure joy!
