Jacolien Ruizendaal

I’m Jacolien, and I’m almost 42 years old. I live with my daughter, my partner, and his son. I love running and do it five times a week. In addition, I do strength training twice a week and also enjoy bouldering. I work 32 hours a week and create several running schedules as well. I really enjoy that—motivating people to bring out the best in themselves, getting them moving, and helping them achieve goals they once thought were impossible.

My disciplines

Running -> Avnop

Number of hours’ training per week

8 - 9 hours

"If you want to run, run a mile. If you want to experience a different life, run a marathon. (Emil Zatopek)"

My favourite Etixx products

I am a fan of the Recovery Shake because it is a tasty fast recovery food after my training. And the Multimax because it contains everything I need.

My greatest sporting achievements

Netherlands Marathon Championships Silver in 2014
Indoor and outdoor gold medals in the 3000, 1500m and 800m for masters
Winning the Berenloop Marathon, one of the toughest marathons in the Netherlands.

My personal record

21,1 km 1h23
42,2 km 3h10
10 km 38h40

My #GiveItYourAll moment in 2025

I would like to run a 5km in 18 minutes again and a fast half marathon in the fall.

Axelle Klinckaert

Gymnastics

I am Axelle. I am 22 years old and a gymnast. The event I like and do best is floor exercise. I am also a student, studying biomedical laboratory technology. I mainly use the Etixx Health Supplements. This isn't used much by us yet because it isn't really an endurance sport, we mainly have to be fast and explosive. But if we ever have an energy dip, the Etixx products are an excellent help.

Athletics

As a sports enthusiast, I love taking on challenges and am always striving to improve, both as an athlete and as a person. With a positive and dynamic attitude, I bring a good vibe, whether on or off the field. Continuous growth and enjoying the journey are at the heart of everything I do.

Triathlon

I am a 26-year-old physiotherapist, and in 2024, I have set the ambition to become a professional triathlete. Although I am aware of the head start my competitors have, I know exactly what I want and am fully committed to achieving my goals.
