Jacolien Ruizendaal

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.

My greatest sporting achievements

Netherlands Marathon Championships Silver in 2014
Indoor and outdoor gold medals in the 3000, 1500m and 800m for masters
Winning the Berenloop Marathon, one of the toughest marathons in the Netherlands.

My personal record

21,1 km 1h23
42,2 km 3h10
10 km 38h40

My #GiveItYourAll moment in 2025

I would like to run a 5km in 18 minutes again and a fast half marathon in the fall.
