Jacolien Ruizendaal

I’m Jacolien, and I’m almost 42 years old. I live with my daughter, my partner, and his son. I love running and do it five times a week. In addition, I do strength training twice a week and also enjoy bouldering. I work 32 hours a week and create several running schedules as well. I really enjoy that—motivating people to bring out the best in themselves, getting them moving, and helping them achieve goals they once thought were impossible.


My disciplines

Running -> Avnop


Number of hours’ training per week

8 - 9 hours

 

"If you want to run, run a mile. If you want to experience a different life, run a marathon. (Emil Zatopek)"

My favourite Etixx products

I am a fan of the Recovery Shake because it is a tasty fast recovery food after my training. And the Multimax because it contains everything I need.

  • Indoor and outdoor gold medals in the 3000, 1500m and 800m for masters
