A word from the author

We all want to run better, lighter, stronger, without pain. But breakthroughs don't happen by chance. They emerge through patience and presence, not force. Showing up with grace, day after day. I wrote this book because real progress comes from learning from those who've been there: world class coaches, elite athletes, experts and recreational runners. Over a decade of conversations, I've discovered the answers aren't found in secret workouts or miracle supplements. They're found in patience, presence, and showing up with curiosity.

This book is your dream team of support, with tested and proven lessons. I hope they'll help you become stronger, healthier, and happier, not just as a runner, but as a human being.

WHAT RUNNERS SAY ABOUT MY NEW BOOK:

“Whether from personal experience or conversations with the most elite athletes on Earth, Floris distills the most important lessons he’s learned into something that will improve your own path forward.“

— Robbe Reddinger, Senior Editor, Believe in the Run

“If you’re looking for answers as a runner, read Running Breakthroughs.”

— Kofuzi, running Youtuber and gear reviewer

“A running book for curious running minds, Running Breakthroughs catalogs a lifetime of learning about endurance, performance, and running. It’s both a source for running knowledge and a foundation for further exploration.”

— Matt Fitzgerald, bestselling author of 80/20 Running and How Bad Do You Want It?
