Welcome! I’m Marieke!
I am French by birth, Dutch by adoption and living a Swiss life.
My running journey started more then 10 years ago after the birth of my two children. In a rather hectic life I needed to find an activity that was easily accessible anytime, anywhere. It is very naturally that I started running because it is a convenient sport. Running gave me the ‘me’ time I needed, helped me feel better about myself, and it quickly became my new passion.
RUNNING PASSION
When I turned 40 I made a bet that I should be able to run 40+ kms and Paris marathon was a life changing moment. Not just that day, but the whole journey towards it. By doing so, I made a dream come true!!
On this journey I realized that my body could achieve so much more than I ever imagined! And also that without a strong mind I would not have hit the finish line.
I love taking part in running events from 5km to marathons- I also participated at a Sprint Triathlon. For the atmosphere at the start, for training with a goal, for continuously pushing my limits, for all the emotions that come along with each running event making it a unique and overwhelming experience!
Embrace your own running journey with me at your side to guide you.
RUNNING FOR PHYSICAL & MENTAL HEALTH
When we moved to Zürich after living in Amsterdam for more than 15 years, I had to reinvent myself. Running has helped me so much when settling down and facing the insecurities of starting a new life in a new country.
It had become such a big part of my life that I decided to make from my passion for running my new profession: do what I love, and become a RUNNING COACH! Not only to share my passion, but also for my genuine interest in helping people, feel physically and mentally better, stronger and happier, to guide them on this incredible running journey to transform their life too.
I became a certified Swiss Athletics I and II running coach for adults in French and German in 2019, and I regularly add running-related courses to my curriculum.
Swiss Athletics general education related to coaching
Swiss Athletics I certification for running specialisation
Swiss Athletics II specialisation in writing training plans
RUNDEZ-VOUS, A TOTALLY NEW CONCEPT
At the end of 2019 I started RUNdez-vous, my multilingual (EN, DE, FR and NL) running company in the Zürich area.
Next to proposing group classes, 1 on 1 training and online training plans, I also developed a new concept: giving French conversation courses while running.
As a graduated French teacher -French as a foreign language- I thought of a concept that would combine my teaching background with my running coaching. I propose a French conversation course in this low intensity zone, also called ‘conversation pace’.
This way you can get fit and practice your foreign language in the outdoors all together!
I help you make the best out of your precious time.
