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!

Marathon
I am Simon Debognies, a professional distance runner with the Ministry of Defence and the Runners' Lab Athletics Team. I am currently specialising in the 5000 metres and the 10000 metres. In the longer term, I want to make the step to the marathon. The running bug has been with me since I was a child, and I caught it during my first school cross-country run in the park at the end of my street. Immediately afterwards, I joined the local athletics club and the starting shot was fired for a career as an athlete. Many worn-out running shoes later, I have Belgian and European medals in my pocket, as well as experience at international championships. Now, with a lot of passion and ambition, I am working towards my next goals.
