Q&A

How did you get into the sport?
I got into Crossfit through friends who were already doing this sport. Before that I was a professional cyclist, both on the road and on the track. But after a fall and a long rehabilitation, I couldn't do this anymore the way I wanted and was looking for something new. Crossfit has all the aspects of sports and every day is different. I love this challenge and trying to discover the utmost of yourself in sports. 

How often do you train per week, how many hours and how does your training schedule look like?
I train Sunday to Friday, with active rest on Wednesday in the form of cardio. I train on average 2-3 hours a day. I follow a training programme and my coach gives me daily feedback.

What does an average week look like for you?
Monday: 2 training sessions 
Tuesday: 2 training sessions
Wednesday: cardio
Thursday: 1 session
Friday: 1 session
Saturday: rest
Sunday: Strongman session

What are your goals/ambitions in life, personal and sports?
My goals in sports are as a master to the games. One step closer every year!
I would also like to be on the podium at a big competition like the French Throwdown.
Personally, I am very happy with my son. I work full time in health care and I don't want to change that at the moment. I do want to make a big trip together when my son is a bit older. 

Why did you choose RXDGear?
RXDGear Ear has everything and very good quality materials. The plates are perfect for lifting but also during a wod. The materials have a nice feel and are really made for what they are intended for.
