My convinction for choosing Etixx as sports nutrition partner
Etixx offers a very wide range of products that are essential for optimizing an athlete's performance! They are high-quality products and there is no risk of banned substances.
My favorite Etixx products
Recovery Shake: a very interesting protein ratio, a delicious taste, perfect to supplement protein immediately after exercise and to optimize recovery.
Isotonic Drink (red fruits): non-chemical flavor, interesting drink for carbohydrate intake during training efforts when I do a long effort.
Oat Bar (caramel): delicious! Perfect if you need a snack to go!
All supplements (vitamins, magnesium, iron, etc.) that are essential for the athlete without deficiencies. Great composition!

Marathon
I am Simon Debognies, a professional distance runner with the Ministry of Defence and the Runners' Lab Athletics Team. I am currently specialising in the 5000 metres and the 10000 metres. In the longer term, I want to make the step to the marathon. The running bug has been with me since I was a child, and I caught it during my first school cross-country run in the park at the end of my street. Immediately afterwards, I joined the local athletics club and the starting shot was fired for a career as an athlete. Many worn-out running shoes later, I have Belgian and European medals in my pocket, as well as experience at international championships. Now, with a lot of passion and ambition, I am working towards my next goals.
