What do others say?

Luka H., runner coached by Louise Hendrickx
โ€œI train to stay healthy and in shape, and to learn to run faster and longer without getting injured. Thanks to Louise's guidance and training schedules, I don't have to doubt how to best approach this; I know when to do which training so that it remains challenging but still manageable. It's because of the guidance and exercises I received from Louise that I've been able to rebuild my training in a healthy way after a persistent shin injury.โ€
Luka H.
Jana W., runner coached by Louise Hendrickx
โ€œOver the past years, I've often started running, but I've also quit again and again โ€” my heart rate was always too high and I didn't know how to build up slowly. Since Louise became my coach I get personal advice, injury-prevention exercises and running training that never feels like a chore. Recently I ran a 14 km trail run with 400 m of elevation gain. I never thought I would be lining up at the start so confident and proud!โ€
Jana W.
Louise vK., runner coached by Louise Hendrickx
โ€œBefore I started with Louise's running coaching, I couldn't run 5 km. After a few months of working together, I ran a half marathon without any injuries or problems. Louise makes a schedule tailored to your own pace and rhythm. Don't be intimidated or afraid that the level is too high โ€” if I can do it, everybody can :)โ€
