I am primarily someone who doesn't give up easily and who sees everything positively. I run recreationally 60-100 km/week. 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!


My discipline

Running


Number of hours’ training per week

10 hours

 

"Tough runs don't last,
tough runners do!"

My favourite Etixx products

Isotonic Drink Energy Gel during training sessions: easy to use, the body doesn't object to the gels, delicious.

Recovery Shake PRO LINE (banana) after strenuous training sessions and competitions: a shake that I find hard to resist. Really delicious and also super useful for recovery!

Collagen Complex every day: injury prevention in a pot! Flavourless is a plus point here!

Carbo-Gy/ Natural Oat Bar/ Energy Sport Bar before training sessions (especially if I plan to go for a run after work): handy energy-deliverers that I switch around according to the training session/time of day. The Natural Oat Bars in particular taste heavenly!


My personal record

Not giving up after a lot of injuries, 3 operations and literally having to start again from 0.

Modern pentathlon & athletics

When the alarm clock goes off in the morning, I always look forward to going to train. Exercise is the highlight of my day. As a former gymnast and current endurance athlete, I got involved in an Olympic project with an ambitious goal: to be the first Belgian to qualify for the Olympic Games in the modern pentathlon. Since then, every day has become even more meaningful.

Running, mountain biking, fitness and swimming

Over the past eight years, I have learned a lot from my experiences with running, both what works and what doesn’t. These experiences have allowed me to listen to my body. Due to my PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), sports have become an important outlet for me. At the same time, I try to help as many people as possible by giving them advice, so that they can also benefit from what I have learned.

Athletics (5000m and 10000m)

I am a distance runner of 28 years old and I live in Kapelle-op-den-Bos. I started taking part in international championships at the age of 22, and the Olympic Games in Tokyo were the biggest event I ever had the privilege of taking part in. Until last year, I was still studying for my bachelor's degree in architecture at the LUCA school of arts in Brussels. Since this year, I have been practising my sport professionally under contract at Topsport Belgian Defence. I dream of achieving a top 10 place at a World Championship or Olympic Games.
