Jana Van Lent

Sports were instilled in me from a young age, and soon I, like my brother and sister, got involved in athletics. Long-distance running is a form of relaxation therapy for me, even though my goal is to reach the top. As a dietitian, I traded the nurturing spoon for the Etixx gels, which I hope, just like the nurturing spoon, will help me grow big—but in sports.

My favourite Etixx products

The Isotonic Drink is one of my favorites, as it helps me maintain my hydration balance. And the PRO LINE Recovery Shake, which is essential for proper recovery after intense training.

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.
