My favourite Etixx products
I really like the Double Carb Energy Gel PRO LINE as I use them a lot during my trainings. Also the Isotonic watermelon is the product that I use the most. The Recovery Shake PRO LINE Chocolate is also one of my favourite products and I can use it almost everyday because it taste really good and it's really efficient.
My personal records
- 29'17'' in the 10km run
My #GiveItYourAll moment in 2024
I want to qualify for the Olympic Games and be in the top 15 in the WTCS ranking at the end of the year.

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.
