With Running by Iris, I create the opportunity for (amateur) runners/triathletes to approach their training and goals in a professional way.

Every runner/triathlete can get started in their own way with Running by Iris because everything is tailored to the individual.

As an ultra trail runner, I really enjoy coaching fellow enthusiasts towards goals like completing their first ultra.

However, because running gives me so much satisfaction, I find it just as rewarding to help someone reach their first 5K, 10K, or even a marathon. No matter how small the goal, achieving a running milestone is something special, even for a coach!

To ensure that the runner and I are a good match for the process, I always schedule a non-binding online meeting in advance. During this meeting, we’ll discuss what the athlete can expect from me and what I expect from them, as well as any questions or expectations they have.

If it’s a great match, we’ll create a connection via a personal link through TrainingPeaks. This is where the training plans will appear, and you can get started with enthusiasm!

I always say: "Everyone can run, but running is a sport." And every athlete has the potential to improve. Through analysis, your weak points can be identified, and by working on them, you can increase your running efficiency.

Additionally, running is a complex movement with many variations. The biggest predictor of injury is having had an injury in the past two years. Due to compensating for pain, movement patterns (often unconsciously) change, which eventually leads to the next injury. These compensation patterns become visible in the analysis.
