Wietse Keuning, 32 years old, born and raised in Castricum, the Netherlands. Started playing rugby at age 11, played for the first team of Cas RC in the Ereklasse highest level in the Netherlands and represented the National Dutch Rugby team. At age 25 I had to quit due having had too many concussions. I always had the dream to run a marathon, so I ran my first marathon in 3:57 after being coached by Michel Butter (one of the best pro marathon runners in the Netherlands). Having learned a ton from Michel, I decided to train myself and 1,5 years later I finished my second marathon in 3:07 without a coach. Then 2 years later I finished my first Ironman in 11:04 again without a coach. I then realised I wanted to become a coach myself and helped 4 friends complete their first marathon in under 4 hours and 1 friend in 3,5 hours. I am passionate about helping people achieve their running goals and like to work very structured and data driven. I can also help you with a nutrition plan an strength training.
