Jimmy Laeremans

I am primarily someone who doesn't give up easily and who sees everything positively. I run recreationally 60-100 km/week. 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!

My discipline

Running

Number of hours’ training per week

10 hours

"Tough runs don't last,
tough runners do!"

My favourite Etixx products

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!

My personal record

Not giving up after a lot of injuries, 3 operations and literally having to start again from 0.
