Marieke Odink
I am Marieke, 28 years old and devoted to CrossFit. CrossFit has become increasingly popular among athletes in the last few years, which makes me very happy! It is a sport that constantly challenges me. I ask a lot of my body and, with Etixx’s support, I can continue to do so.
My discipline
CrossFit
Number of hours’ training per week
10 - 12 hours
"No challenge, no change."
My favourite Etixx products
I use the Magnesium 100% Bisglycinate PRO LINE and Multimax from Etixx every day. When I’m training, I throw a Sport Hydro Tab in my water bottle to stay sufficiently hydrated. You don't just lose fluid while training, but also other important things such as salts and electrolytes. The Sport Hydro Tab provides this, and it makes the water taste better! After a strenuous training session, I take a High Protein Shake to top up my protein levels for repair and muscle growth.
My personal records
- Deadlift: 153 kg
- Clean and jerk: 85 kg
- 500 meters on rowing machine: 00:01:41
- Half marathon (21km): 01:52:00
My #GiveItYourAll moment in 2021
Since there is no CrossFit competition due to Covid and I am using videos, it is a challenge to find a challenge ;) For the year 2021, I am going to work on becoming a stronger version of myself, which will mean I have fewer injuries. So, back to basics and then building up from that. If anyone thinks of a fantastic goal, share it with me!
