I'm a 27yo sports fanatic and bioscience engineer. Whatever sport or task I'm performing, I will give it my all to be the best possible me. I'm really grateful that Etixx helps me to achieve this. I've grown up spending most of my free time on inline skates but my olympic dream has pushed me to switch asphalt for ice. Last winter I proudly represented Belgium at the Beijing Winter Olympics in speedskating.

My favourite Etixx products
I use the Isotonic Lemon almost every training session. It gives me the right amount of energy and water so I don't run out but also don't overload on sugar. The Natural Oat Bar is perfect for my long endurance trainings on the bike. It's not only super delicious, it also makes sure I don't get hungry towards the end.
My favourite healthy snack is the High Protein Bar. I'd call it a guilty pleasure but it's not even guilty, just a pleasure!

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.
