Description

Are you interested in increasing your strength and endurance, while enjoying some of the local scenery? Then this one-day trail running program is right for you!

Join me for this three part session, in which we will go over the best practices for strengthening muscles through trail running in the morning, put these to use on an afternoon trail run in the Sonian Forest and wind down with a question and answer session about what we’ve done.

Located on the outskirts of Brussels, the Sonian Forest is a marvelous natural forest full on interconnected pathways, lakes and wildlife. It’s the perfect activity for those who enjoy running and live in Brussels or are traveling here for several days and are looking to escape into the outdoors.

Since the maximum number of participants is limited to 12, this is an excellent opportunity to work directly with myself or another experienced trail runner and learn what the best postures and techniques are.

There will be plenty of opportunities for one-on-one advice as well as a good atmosphere for socializing with others during the run.

We will also be able to enjoy this beautiful forest, which was named a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2017. Composed of deciduous trees and numerous lakes, we might even get the chance to spot some local wildlife and learn a bit about the forest’s social and ecologic importance to Brussels and Belgium.

So what are you waiting for? Book now and prepare for an informative, interesting, and most of all, fun day of muscle strengthening through trail running in the Sonian Forest!

If you like the look of this trip then I think you will also enjoy my weekend trail running on the Escapardenne Eisleck Trail!

Mountain Leader

Passionate about trail running, the outdoors and everything that nature provides to us, I got certified as a mountain leader by the Club Alpin Belge. I also work as a school teacher and devote my free time to my artistic pursuits.

Maps are another of my big passions. I collect them and spend hours looking at them and searching for the best itineraries in the Alps, the Andes, the Carpathians...and then I take you to explore them, running or walking.

My mission is to share with you the happiness that a high altitude lake can provide, the comfort that one can find in a rustic mountain hut and the excitement of walking along a mountain ridge. Looking forward to meeting you!

What people are saying about Thibault

Valeria

First of all our guide was not Thibault as communicated initially but Nathalie. Already when in contact with Thibault communication wasn't smooth, he only replied via the platform days after the message with very short info. I had asked several times more details about the activity but I never got them...the day before I got a message from Nathalie just giving practical tips about clothes, meteo etc I was told that we would have had orienteering challenges in teams but on the day the guide was sending instructions to get to a point via smartphone (only to me) which was quite useless because I was the only one trying to find a way. On the other hand if she wanted to do something with smartphones she would have warned us in advance so that all colleagues would have had an active one and for exemple she could have sent the messages in a chat with everybody in. Anyway the best would have been to print out for us simple maps/instructions like the ones she had. All this should have been discussed and agreed with me/us in advance...otherwise it would have been far more interesting a simple walk with a guide that knows the history and characteristics of a place and that could tell us something (this was an offered option) interesting.

Pour ceux qu’un stage/week-end organisé de Trail tente, je ne pourrais que vous recommander Trek Atout. Superbe weekend passé dans les Hautes Fagnes... 3 sorties trail sur des tracés magnifiques, super encadrement et top ambiance... plus que vivement conseillé ! Merci Thibault

Des parcours magnifiques, un we bien rempli mais juste ce qu'il faut, un niveau adapté, une guide au top et un chouette logement ! En résumé, un we inoubliable.

J'ai participé à la journée rando-photos à Bouillon ce dimanche et j'ai adoré! C'était super interessant, le cours etait très bien donné, la prof nous a super bien coaché durant la rando et l'endroit était magnifique!! Vraiment a faire!! Je ferai sûrement d'autres cours chez vous pour me perfectionner maintenant!

Il y a juste deux petites semaines, j'ai participé à un weekend rando Trek Atout... Un superbe weekend ! Ok, la météo nous a fait un super cadeau : de la belle neige sur nos Fagnes! Mais tout de même, sans le "président" rien n'aurait été pareil ! Nous avons été accueillis comme des amis, Thibault nous a emmené sur des petits chemins et sentiers magnifiques, nous avons appris à jouer au whist, nous avons partagé l'apéro, Thibault nous a préparé une (demi)soupe sur un sol enneigé, nous avons échangé et beaucoup rigolé ! Je pourrais encore allonger la liste pour les non convaincus! ... Merci encore Trek Atout! (Depuis, je m'entraîne encore plus à la course à pied en espérant un jour faire un trail avec TrekAtout).
