"I reach 80 to 90 kilometres running per week in periods with no competition. In addition, I am on the bike for about 15 hours and I have six swimming training sessions on the schedule." (atni.be, 27 Feb 2021)

"I love training because making your body tired is the best feeling in the world. You never know how long life will be so it's very important to enjoy it and I think that's what I'm doing at the moment. I'm really competitive so the competitions motivate me to go out and train and to be the best in the world." (Super League Triathlon YouTube channel, 17 May 2021)
