Brussels Runners - Tuesday Intervals
We do cycles of 4-6 weeks, with a progressive load, and a recovery week at the end of the cycle.
Session:
* 10 - 20’ warm up (easy run and drills)
* Core session (ie. 6x5' - 2' recovery)
* Cool down
We run together during Warm-up, and cool down and tey to regroup during recovery time. Paces are not imposed (everyone runs at his/her own pace) given the intensity suggested.
Notes:
It's NOT required to have an activity tracker or smart watch to be able to follow the session, as I'll be giving signals with a whistle.
Intervals training is not advised for total beginners. To have an idea, the average pace at the warm up is around 5'45"/km-6'15"/km so this pace should feel very comfortable

Build a Modern API with FastAPI
[French version below]
You’ve built an API — or at least explored one. But have you ever used an API that documents itself, validates your data automatically, and tells you exactly what went wrong… without writing extra code?
Welcome to FastAPI.
FastAPI is one of the most popular modern Python frameworks — and for good reason. It’s fast to write, hard to break, and comes with powerful features that used to take hours to set up, right out of the box.
In this hands-on workshop, we’ll build a real API together using FastAPI and discover what makes it such a game changer compared to traditional approaches.
🔍 **What we’ll explore**
* How FastAPI differs from frameworks like Flask
* Using type hints as real validation tools (not just documentation)
* Pydantic: define your data once and get validation + clear error messages for free
* The magic of /docs: an interactive API documentation generated automatically from your code
👩💻 **Workshop style**
This is a hands-on session — we’ll code together step by step, so you can follow along and experiment in real time.
👉 **Who is this for?**
* You have basic Python knowledge
* You’ve seen or built a simple API (e.g. with Flask) — or you’re curious to go one step further
* You want to understand how modern APIs are built today
🧰 **What to bring**
* Your laptop with Python 3.x installed
* A code editor (VS Code recommended)
* Install before the session: pip install fastapi uvicorn requests
* Enthusiasm and curiosity!
✨ By the end of the workshop, you’ll have your own working API — and a solid understanding of why FastAPI is becoming the go-to framework for modern backend development.

**Construisez une API moderne avec FastAPI**
Vous avez déjà créé une API — ou au moins exploré ce concept. Mais avez-vous déjà utilisé une API qui se documente toute seule, valide automatiquement vos données et vous indique précisément ce qui ne va pas… sans écrire de code supplémentaire ?
Bienvenue dans FastAPI.
FastAPI est l’un des frameworks Python modernes les plus populaires — et ce n’est pas un hasard. Il est rapide à écrire, difficile à casser, et propose des fonctionnalités puissantes qui demandaient autrefois des heures de configuration, directement prêtes à l’emploi.
Dans cet atelier pratique, nous construirons ensemble une véritable API avec FastAPI et découvrirons pourquoi il change la manière de développer des APIs par rapport aux approches plus traditionnelles.
🔍 **Ce que nous allons explorer**
* Ce qui distingue FastAPI de frameworks comme Flask
* L’utilisation des type hints comme outils de validation (et pas seulement de documentation)
* Pydantic : définir vos données une seule fois pour obtenir validation et messages d’erreur clairs automatiquement
* La magie de /docs: une documentation interactive générée automatiquement à partir de votre code
👩💻 **Format de l’atelier**
C’est une session pratique — nous coderons ensemble étape par étape, afin que vous puissiez suivre et expérimenter en temps réel.
👉 **À qui s’adresse cet atelier ?**
* Vous avez des bases en Python
* Vous avez déjà vu ou créé une API simple (par exemple avec Flask) — ou vous êtes curieux·se d’aller plus loin
* Vous souhaitez comprendre comment les APIs modernes sont construites aujourd’hui
🧰 **À apporter**
* Votre ordinateur portable avec Python 3.x installé
* Un éditeur de code (VS Code recommandé)
* À installer avant la session : pip install fastapi uvicorn requests
* De la curiosité et de l’enthousiasme !
✨ À la fin de cet atelier, vous repartirez avec votre propre API fonctionnelle — et une bonne compréhension de pourquoi FastAPI est en train de devenir un standard pour le développement backend moderne.

\#\#\# UX TALKS
**Talk 1:** **UX with AI: Did we all just get promoted?**
By An-Sofie Rombouts, Product designer @ Gorilla
Working in a startup often means designing without established UX processes. So with AI emerging, it can feel like a lifeline: faster prototyping, '*deeper*' research, and more concepts to explore. But somewhere between the third AI-generated prototype and losing the thread of your prompted designs, it can become painfully obvious what the impact is of designing with LLMs.
We're not executing anymore, we're reviewing, approving, and critiquing, like a manager.
This talk gets honest about what that actually means: the speed gains are real, but the cognitive debt is quietly compounding, and your future as a designer depends on understanding why.
Explore how designers can protect their cognitive depth, enhance their review capacity, and stay in control when the machine can almost draw anything.
**Talk 2:** **Growing UX in organisations that are not there yet.**
By Koen Peters, Designer at Namahn
More and more organisations are asking us to help build design expertise in-house, even putting together a design team for them. I have learnt that in such cases, you need to set aside your own biases and assumptions first: your neatly mapped-out methodology, your Figma dogmas and all the other things you as a design agency take for granted. The reality in these organisations is often very different: limited resources, no design culture and few or no trained designers on the team. Through a few client case studies, I will show how we have tackled such challenges. Organising a training in UX and design thinking is a good first step, offering a chance to get to know the team and identify which skills are already there and which are missing. I will also demonstrate tools and activities that we have used to help a team get started and become more aware of UX research and design. These include a script for choosing the right UX approach, skills assessment models to identify gaps and first steps towards creating a design playbook.

Brussels Singles Relational Lab — Facilitated Connection Experience
# Tired of dating apps culture and surface-level?
This is different. And people often leave surprised by how quickly strangers can feel human, warm, honest, and real again.
Free to RSVP,
👉 $59 to confirm your spot
[https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/stayconnected](https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join)
Relational Labs is a guided connection experience for singles who want more honest, playful, emotionally intelligent interaction — without performance, pressure, or endless small talk.
This is not speed dating.
Not networking.
Not “pitch yourself to strangers.”
It’s a facilitated relational container rooted in psychology, emotional intelligence, attachment work, social dynamics, nervous system awareness, and real-world human connection — made practical enough that you can actually live it instead of reading another 50 books about it.
## What happens
• A 2-hour guided online relational experience
• Real-time connection exercises designed to create authentic interaction
• A format that adapts in real time to whoever is present
• Optional participant-led in-person continuation afterward
• WhatsApp connection thread after the session
## This may be for you if:
• You’re tired of shallow or repetitive social spaces
• You want deeper connection without forced intimacy
• You enjoy personal growth, psychology, communication, or relational work
• You’re open to meeting people in a more intentional way
## Important
This experience runs with whoever is present and takes its own shape each time.
Sometimes expansive.
Sometimes intimate.
Both are the real thing.

Marketing Monday Networking
Monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners. One specific topic, one to three actions you can run this week.
You can be the best at what you do and still be invisible. If local buyers cannot find you, the phone does not ring.
Marketing Monday Lunch + Learn is a monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners focused on building relationships, local networking, and local marketing. Every kind of local business welcome. No pitch round, no pressure, no upsell.
**This month**
Most local businesses pick one or two places to be visible and call it good. The result is inconsistent calls and a feeling that marketing is not working. We will walk through the three places every local business needs to show up, plus the fourth place most owners ignore that quietly produces the warmest leads.
**What to expect**
Doors open at noon. Order lunch and drinks at the cafe counter or bring your own. You get real conversation with other local owners and a focused marketing lesson. You leave knowing people and with one to three actions to run that week. The room is reserved through 1:30 PM.
**Who this is for**
Any local business owner who wants clearer marketing direction and real local relationships. Service businesses, retail, home services, professional services, online owners building local presence, anyone serious about being part of the Columbus business community.
**Not the right fit if**
You are here to pitch the room or recruit for an MLM.
**Details**
* Second Monday of every month
* 12:00 to 1:30 PM
* Good Cafe Easton, 4400 Easton Commons, Ste 150, Columbus, OH 43219
