This training program has helped runners of all levels. Whether you would like to run your first 5KM, or you are aiming for a sub 34min 10km, or you are training for your 4th marathon.

The training philosophy and insights on recovery, nutrition, etc. are the same as those I've shared with a large number of athletes who have achieved new personal bests. Moreover, I apply them in my own daily routine, as they have helped me make the jump from amateur runner to Olympic athlete. There's no better way to achieve your goal than to follow the advice that has helped countless other amateur and elite runners to improve significantly.

Here's the truth... Many coaches come up with their own training philosophies, seemingly controversial advice, or boast about their coaching certifications. If a coach hasn't had athletes reach elite level, or hasn't raced at elite level themselves before, it's hard to claim that their advice really works. Getting an amateur runner to progress is much easier than optimising the progression of a top level runner who might otherwise plateau. My advice and training philosophy are not ‘special’. They are simply what a large number of world-class runners apply because they work and are effective. Moreover, I have achieved impressive progression curves for many of the athletes I coach.

Yes, my aim is to maximise your progress. If you have any questions or need advice on any running related topic, I'm more than happy to help. You can send me a message via the chat function on the online training program, or via Instagram (@heymans.john), or by email (johnheymans@telenet.be).
