Strength training to stay injury free and improve your performance

Hi, I am Lisa

I am an avid runner myself, but this has not always been the case.

I once started with a ’12-week start to run’ programme myself, but to be perfectly honest, I stopped at week 7….

Fast forward to now, several marathons and ultra’s later, I have set myself the goal of making as many people as possible fall in love with this beautiful sport. For me it is really important to have a good connection with my athletes, therefore I put communication as one of my most important coaching pillars.

What are the focus points of the next 16-weeks?

Focus 1

Personalised training plan tailored to your level and goals.

Focus 2

Strength training to make you a stronger, faster and injury free runner.

Focus 3

All the information you need to know to become your best running version.

What athletes say about being coached by Lis(t)a Coaching

Lisa got me fully prepared for my first marathon in just under 4 months. I was given a tailor-made schedule, nutritional advice, could easily reach her every day, she gave me extra motivation when needed and as a result I ran a successful first marathon in top condition.

Lisa is a good coach to work with. Follows you up well and gives plenty of personal advice. I was able to meet and exceed multiple running goals (Marathon & Ultra)!

I am very satisfied with Lisa as a coach! She gives you a lot of motivation and nothing is too much for her. Just ran my first half marathon and without her coaching I would not have succeeded!

Lisa has brought the best out of me as a runner over the past few years, with PRs in the 5km, 10km, 10 miles and marathon! For each distance, she knows how to tailor a schedule that ensures the best results!

Even from a very slow 10k runner , Lisa can make a 'marathoner'. Thanks to fantastic coaching, finally able to train injury-free for months on end and learn to enjoy running ! All credits to Lisa !

Still have questions? Do not hesitate to contact me and we can always schedule a FREE online meeting without further obligations.

What do I need to get started?

A pair of running shoes and lots of energy to start together! I recommend before starting a marathon plan, to be able to already run half a marathon.

How many times a week should I run for results?

For a half marathon I recommend 3x running/ week and for a marathon 4x running/ week. However, the training plans are tailored to every athlete and additional/ complementary sports can be included without problem.

I am very injury prone and I am afraid to get injured.

Another reason to work together with a coach! I watch out for overtraining, adjust your training plan where needed and work closely together with a physio therapist to offer the best possible service to my athletes.

Do I need to go to the gym to do the strength training?

No, I made the strength training so it is possible to do them from home. Every training is accompanied with a video so it also feels like we are working out together.

What exactly entails the extra information that is offered?

A lot of runners ‘just start running’ and often get injured because of the lack of knowledge. I put all my knowledge about running in this course (which stays available forever once you have bought it) & I keep updating it frequently to keep you updated about new scientific evidence to really help you become the best running version of yourself.

Is there a guarantee policy if I don't get results?

Yes indeed (although this is very unlikely to happen)! If you can prove that you have followed all my tips and trainings and still don’t have any results, I will refund you 100%. I don’t want to earn anything if you don’t get the results you signed-up for.
