Running condition test

It motivates me! As a very recreational, starting and not so young athlete, it is thanks to the good explanation and the feasible schedule that I have not yet given up on running. On the contrary: it motivates me to train 3 times a week!

Body composition analysis (DXA)

You get a good explanation of what all values mean, and a good insight into how your body is composed. I found it very interesting to see all percentages in black and white. Also a very nice welcome, very pleasant atmosphere. You also get good tips on how to reduce your fat percentage. Definitely recommended if you want to be more aware of your body.

Start 2 Run

The ideal app for novice runners, with this app you learn to run 5 km in one go in 30 lessons! After that, there are different series to build up to greater distances or better speeds! You can link these with Strava so that your achievements will automatically appear there too! You will also receive useful tips & tricks from warming up to nutritional advice! Do you want to learn to run then this app is definitely for you!
