How does it work?

The general training plans explained

These are 24-week training plans designed to increase your mileage and training intensities in a gradual way towards your race.

Three levels per distance

  • • Beginner: 3 runs and 1 strength training per week.
  • • Intermediate: 4 runs and 2 strength trainings per week.
  • • Experienced: 5 runs and 2 strength trainings per week.

Built to make you adapt

  • • Every 3 weeks of training are followed by 1 deload week with lower mileage and intensities to recover and adapt.
  • • Plans are based on training zones instead of pace — a sheet explaining the different training zones is included.
  • • General workouts build your aerobic base, race-specific interval sessions sharpen you for race day.
  • • A weekly strength session is scheduled; you decide what that workout looks like (no specific exercises included).

Testimonial

A structured approach!

Hans V., runner coached by Louise Hendrickx
“I wanted to run the Antwerp Marathon. Louise created a well-structured schedule for me. Without injuries and in good shape, I made it to the start. The marathon turned into a successful experience. A structured approach and guidance are a must, and it allows you to make progress more easily. Happy to have Louise on my team ;)”
