Jelle Geens

I am Jelle Geens, and I participate in triathlon. I am the first and still the only Belgian to ever win a World Triathlon Championship Series. Of the three disciplines, my favorite is running, especially long-distance tempo runs.

My discipline

Triathlon --> Triatlon Vlaanderen

Number of hours’ training per week

30 h

"In it to win it"

My favourite Etixx products

I use the Double Carb Energy Gel; it has a delicious taste and contains a high amount of carbs, which is beneficial for long training sessions.

My greatest sporting achievements

Trail running, running, cycling, and triathlon

Sport has been a part of my life since I was a child. When I discovered trail running through my climbing partner at the end of 2015, this sport grew into my biggest passion next to cycling. Covering ultra-distances over inhospitable terrain. Overcoming yourself, nature and the elements after an endless battle. Finishing a challenging trail run or skyrace gives me great satisfaction. Running gives me the faith and mental strength to keep going at all times. Both on a professional, personal and sports level. Etixx is an important link in this chain. You find the necessary willpower, determination and physical capability within yourself. But having the right nutrition before, during and after exercise can sometimes be the key to success.
