Jelle Geens

I am Jelle Geens, and I participate in triathlon. I am the first and still the only Belgian to ever win a World Triathlon Championship Series. Of the three disciplines, my favorite is running, especially long-distance tempo runs.


My discipline

Triathlon --> Triatlon Vlaanderen
 

Number of hours’ training per week

30 hours

 

"In it to win it"

My favourite Etixx products

I use the Double Carb Energy Gel; it has a delicious taste and contains a high amount of carbs, which is beneficial for long training sessions.


My greatest sporting achievements 

  • Double winner of the World Triathlon Championship Series
  • Podium finisher at the European Championships
  • And two-time 4th place finisher at the World Championship

Swimming

I started swimming when I was only 3 years old. Since then perserverance, sacrfice and ambition have been the key to my success and mark me the way to act and thnik. Howecer,I am not only a swimmer, i am a Biologist too (speciality pharmeceutical industry) that is why I see the importance of supplementory feeding in sports preparation. I have been working together with Etixx for mny years. They have accompanied me to great championships (Rio 2016) but also to personal challenges such as Camino de Santiago. Finally, I concluded that sumplementory feeding is esencial for succes.

Running

I am primarily someone who doesn't give up easily and who sees everything positively. In addition to running for myself recreationally (60-100 km/week), I am also Charlotte Van Hese’s trainer. The aim is to make her a real top athlete without her losing the pleasure of running. The Etixx products are a fantastic asset for my (now much less) injury-prone body. I am very proud to be a part of this top team!
