Start2Run in Antwerp and Niel

Want to start running but don't know where to begin? Start2Run guides absolute beginners to a solid running base in 10 weeks, with professional coaches, a personal plan and attention for your whole body. No race pressure, no minimum requirements.

What is it?

Ten weeks, from zero to a solid running base

Start2Run is a coached running program for anyone who has never run before or wants to start again after a long break. You build up week by week, at a pace that suits you, with a coach beside you who tracks your progress and adjusts where needed. The program starts on 12 October 2026.

What's included?

Three sessions a week, plus strength and mobility

You train three times a week: two coached group sessions and one session at your own pace via TrainingPeaks. Your personal running plan is ready in the app from day one. Strength training and mobility are a fixed part of it, because anyone who wants to run injury-free trains more than just the legs.
