I'm Kevin, an ultra trail runner and UESCA-certified running coach based in Belgium. Having completed coronary bypass surgery in 2024 and returned to high-volume mountain ultra training, I understand performance, resilience, and the non-negotiables of long-term health better than most.
I train with a professional support team of coaches and specialists, and I want to share my knowledge and insights with athletes who are serious about improving - sustainably and intelligently.
I also host immersive trail running camps at my B&B moleneinde10.be
Great coaching starts with understanding the whole athlete - not just the training data, but the life around it. My approach is structured, evidence-informed, and built for the long game.
I believe sustainable performance comes from progressive overload, smart recovery, and honest self-awareness. I use RPE-guided intensity, periodised nutrition, and careful load management - because consistency over years matters more than heroics in any single week.
My personal medical history keeps me grounded: cardiovascular health, longevity, and injury resilience are non-negotiable. I help athletes train hard without burning out or breaking down.
Camps at Moleneinde 10 in Belgium offer a rare combination: immersive trails, professional gym, individual coaching, and a dedicated recovery environment - everything needed to train, reflect, and grow.
