I am primarily someone who doesn't give up easily and who sees everything positively. In addition to running for myself recreationally (60-100 km/week), I am also Charlotte Van Hese’s trainer. The aim is to make her a real top athlete without her losing the pleasure of running. The Etixx products are a fantastic asset for my (now much less) injury-prone body. I am very proud to be a part of this top team!
Running
10 hours
"Tough runs don't last,
tough runners do!"
Isotonic Drink Energy Gel during training sessions: easy to use, the body doesn't object to the gels, delicious.
Recovery Shake PRO LINE (banana) after strenuous training sessions and competitions: a shake that I find hard to resist. Really delicious and also super useful for recovery!
Collagen Complex every day: injury prevention in a pot! Flavourless is a plus point here!
Carbo-Gy/ Natural Oat Bar/ Energy Sport Bar before training sessions (especially if I plan to go for a run after work): handy energy-deliverers that I switch around according to the training session/time of day. The Natural Oat Bars in particular taste heavenly!
Not giving up after a lot of injuries, 3 operations and literally having to start again from 0.

Athletics (Heptathlon)
I am the type of athlete who thrives on training, embracing even the toughest physical sessions with a positive mindset. I see every challenge as an investment in my future success, knowing that each effort brings me closer to my goals. Beyond my individual training, I have a deep passion for collective sports, where teamwork and shared experiences create unforgettable moments. Whether pushing my limits solo or connecting with others in a team setting, I find joy and purpose in every aspect of my athletic journey.

Enjoying life is very important to me so family time, travelling, foodies but definitely running are my priorities. I can also combine my running story with the rest so that is definitely a plus.
