Simon Debognies
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.
My discipline
Marathon -> Runners' Lab Athletics Team (team), Topsport Defence (employer) & Olympic Essenbeek Halle (athletics club)

My favourite Etixx products
I use the Etixx Recovery Shake Pro Line. Always been satisfied with it. Goes in smoothly, is tasty and does not lie on the stomach. I already used the Iron 125 AA as an iron supplement during altitude training. Also already experience with Magnesium 2000 AA.
In addition, I also frequently use the Isotonic Drink Energy Gel, Isotonic Drink, Multimax, Caffeine Energy Shot and the High Protein Sport Bar.
Why are you satisfied that Etixx has become the new sports nutrition partner of the Runners' lab Athletics Team?
I am convinced of the quality of the product range and have already had good experiences with some of the products. Just like within our team, the scientific approach is very important to you. The guarantee of doping-free products is also a must. I also immediately noticed your personal approach with the ambassadors (team day, whatsapp group,...). That is why I am fully committed to our cooperation!

Athletics
I am Stijn Fincioen and I have been doing athletics for over 25 years now. In addition to being an athlete, I am also a ‘Trainer A’ [top-level trainer] for middle distance/long distance. I now pass on my experience and knowledge to my athletes at Olympic Brugge and the West-Vlaamse Alliantie (WVA) I was already there when Etixx was launched and I feel particularly good with these products. They provide good support alongside my daily diet. In 2019, I became an Etixx ambassador. I am happy that, as an ambassador, I can share my experiences with other athletes so that they can prepare themselves optimally according to their personal goals.

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.

Ciclismo - Cantabria Deporte Río Miera y Federación Catalana
Siempre trato de dar lo mejor de mí en los deportes, pero también estudiando. Me encanta estudiar y aprender cosas nuevas en la universidad. En cuanto a mi faceta deportiva, creo que soy muy constante y trabajadora, también bastante perfeccionista. He pasado por una etapa difícil este último año que me obligó a dejar de correr por un tiempo indeterminado, pero estoy tratando de mejorar mi ciclismo para competir al más alto nivel. Me siento muy feliz de poder combinar el deporte y los estudios en mi vida, eso me hace muy feliz.
