Created by Charles from our Clinical Gym team
Introduction
Have you tried running before but it didn’t click?
Do you dislike running but would you love to love it?
Do you want to run with confidence, build strength and stamina, and prevent injuries?
Are you looking for some accountability and wanting to turn running into a fun and connecting experience?
Then our Walk to Run programme is exactly what you’re looking for! We’re very excited to be launching the FOURTH edition powered by Charles with expert support from the Waves Clinical Gym team.
Running is one of the most common fitness goals we hear about at Waves Leuven, and for good reason — it’s accessible, effective, and empowering. However, it’s also one of many causes of musculoskeletal injuries, often due to poor preparation and biomechanics. That’s why we created a programme designed to help you transition to running safely and sustainably.
DETAILS
What
Walk to Run is a realistic and effective 12-week, 2 sessions per week programme that combines strength training with running and walking. A powerful combination improving your strength and stamina and bringing the confidence and fun back into your running experience.
Programme outline:
- We start with an individual intake session*
- One weekly walk/run outdoor group session with Charles & the gym team**
- One weekly strength & stability group session at Waves with Charles

* The intake session is charged separately to the running programme but is required if you haven’t done a previous edition.
