Mike Van Puffelen

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.

My disciplines

Running, mountain biking, fitness and swimming


Number of hours’ training per week

6 - 15 hours

My favourite Etixx products

As an athlete, I am always looking for products that can support my performance and improve my recovery. The Isotonic Drink from Etixx is the perfect product for me. It not only has the ideal balance of carbohydrates and electrolytes my body needs to stay hydrated and energized during intense training, but it also tastes wonderfully refreshing. What I particularly appreciate is that it is quickly absorbed by my body, allowing me to maintain my energy levels and prevent cramps and fatigue.

I am a motivated person who likes to keep busy, you can usually find me with a full diary and a smile on my face. I became an ambassador for Etixx this year, but I have been using the products for much longer. I often suffer from energy dips and I have found the solution to this in Etixx’s products, including the Sport Gummies and the Energy Sport Bars. But, looking forward to the Recovery products afterwards can also increase motivation during training. The Etixx ambassadors team is a great group and I am proud to be a part of it!

Triathlon and fitness

Over 8 years of an active life. Set a sports goal after being quite ill for a long time. This is a hobby that got out of hand and enjoys being active. Combining family time and sports time makes for intense workouts.

Distance running, cycling and padel

I am Jeroen D'hoedt and I like to practice a number of sports including running, cycling, padel, tennis, mountain biking, etc. The nice thing is that Etixx has the right products for each of these sports in its range, ensuring optimum recovery between training sessions. I have also been able to take part in a few Etixx events such as the Ghent-Wevelgem Cyclo, a fantastic experience!
