Sunday Run and Fun Day

For the past years, a group of us has met on Sunday mornings to run through Zurich, at our own pace, without pressure, and usually finishing with a coffee. Marieke is moving on to Geneva, and I'm picking up where she left off.

Nothing you liked about these mornings is going away. Same day, same time, same relaxed spirit, same price. What I'd like to add is a bit more structure to the sessions, a bit more of the city's stories along the way, and more of your ideas in how this club grows.

What I bring

Structured sessions that actually make you better
Support that fits your level
Answers to all your running questions (yes, even the weird ones)

What I expect from you

Team spirit: we start together, we finish together
Respect and good manners, for everyone and every pace
A high five when the session's done

All levels, all paces, no drop-offs
The unhurried, non-judgmental atmosphere that made this group what it is

Four phases, every time.

Warm-up

We wake up the muscles and joints the session will actually ask for.

Strengthening and specific work

A different part of the body each week: core, glutes, calves, posture, form drills.

The run

Endurance or intervals, flat or hills, depending on the session and where we've met.

The coffee debrief

Officially a phase. Attendance strongly encouraged.

No two Sundays are identical

The plan changes every week, built around four things:

The weather Zurich in February and Zurich in July are not the same sport.
Your condition on the day Tired week? We adapt. That's what a coach is for.
Upcoming races if anyone in the group is preparing for one.
What you want to work on: speed, endurance, hills, strength, technique and your knowledge of your capacities!

Run and Stories.

I've run through this city a few hundred times, and I've become the kind of person who reads plaques on buildings. Zurich is full of corners with a story behind them, and I happen to be a history nerd. So on some routes we'll stop somewhere specific, catch our breath, and I'll tell you why that place is worth knowing about. Two minutes, no exam at the end.

You're not participants. You're the club.

This only works if it isn't one person deciding everything. Any idea you have, a race to sign up for together, a Secret Santa, a lunch, a birthday, a summer edition somewhere outside the city, bring it to me or straight to the group.

Races

I'll keep the group updated on what's coming up: in Zurich, elsewhere in Switzerland, and beyond.

Social events

Propose, and we'll make it happen.

Our three values

INCLUSION

Exclusion is not, and never will be, part of my vocabulary. Everyone in this community is expected to stand behind that.

RESPECT

Different countries, backgrounds and fitness levels. Nothing here is a competition or a comparison.

MANNERS

When something needs to be raised, we raise it directly, calmly, and to the right person.

Hi, I'm Konstantin.

I'm French and living in Zurich for 4 years. Discovered the wonderful world of running while I was a Corporate Robot in a Big 4, and the passion never left me. I decided to move on and pass my coaching certification. My approach is: it is a hobby and a hobby can be both taken seriously and be fun! So I want to transmit you this passion.

esa Running certification (Erwachsenensport Schweiz / Swiss Athletics, Magglingen)

esa is the Swiss federal adult-sport programme, covering safe, structured, health-oriented training for adults.

You will never be asked to be faster, enter a race, or prove anything to anyone.

But I'll be there to push you when you need it most.
