Marathon training plan
Marathon nutrition guide
A marathon is run with your legs, endured with your mind, and finished with your gut.
Running a marathon is not only about the training. It is also about staying injury-free and about the right nutrition before and during your race. That's why I created the Marathon Masterplan Full Package. Besides the training plan, it also contains The Marathon Masterplan Nutrition Guide and The Resilient Runner Strength Plan.
The nutrition guide will guide you through everything you need to know about your nutrition before, during and after your race!
It explains you:
which foods to avoid and when
how to carb load
how to make sure your hydration is optimal
how to use solid food instead of gels
A 24-week home strength plan specifically designed for runners. Ideal for beginners as well as for more advanced athletes. No/minimal equipment needed.
In the Resilient Runner Strength Plan, you will find:
An overview of what each exercise set entails
A weekly plan with different training frequency options
A step by step guide for each exercise
Pictures demonstrating each exercise
Different options and progressions for each exercise

I think your Marathon Masterplan Nutrition Guide is fantastic! Very clear for people who are lost in all the information that is out there. Your view on separating fuel and hydration is very interesting. I always thought I could combine them, but my body never tolerated it well.

I really like the Resilient Runner Strength Plan as the exercises are very clear. I have done them for 4 weeks now and last Sunday was the first time I didn't experience any pain during my 15km run!
Experiences
I ran a sub 4h marathon in April 2025, which was my goal after my first marathon back in October 2023. I ran 40 min faster in 1.5 years. For my next goal, I will train with Louise again to run a sub 3h45 marathon in Antwerp, end 2025.

I increased endurance from 1/2 to a full marathon, while maintaining a heart rate below 160 for the full race. Basically, I can run long distance now ❤️ I ran my first marathon in 4h40 (in less than ideal physical circumstances), but, and I really want to mention this one as well, I also ran 35km in 3h30!!

I was looking for a coach for a trail running race when a good friend recommended Louise. She seemed very knowledgeable about training and avoiding injury, and was very friendly. My fitness, strength and endurance increased significantly without injury (e.g. VO2max increased from 53 to 56). I finished the race with a good feeling and a good time, significantly ahead of my estimated finishing time.
