Lerenhardlopen is a running and fitness coaching service based in ’s-Hertogenbosch, working with individuals, businesses, organisations and healthcare providers within approximately 30 kilometres of the city. Its services help people learn to run safely and build fitness, from taking their first steps to progressing towards longer distances. Training is available in groups or individually, with personal coaching and guidance tailored to participants’ needs and experience.

The offering includes beginner running programmes, running clinics, technique and posture training, running therapy, and instruction for the Beweegkuur. Clinics cater to both novice and more experienced runners, while workplace programmes give colleagues the opportunity to train together and prepare for races. Lerenhardlopen also provides coaching and support for businesses and teams, with an emphasis on vitality, health and gradual endurance training.

The service is led by Alex Bekkers, whose credentials include personal coaching, running instruction, endurance coaching and CrossFit Level 2 training, as well as a running-trainer licence from the Dutch Athletics Union.
