Soon we are approaching the middle of July and the training season is well underway. A big change for my training this season is that the Belgian team is offering many more training camps throughout the whole training year. This will help to build team spirit and create a cohesive training philosophy all the way from the base training period into the race season! We are working hard towards building up the women's team, and the goal is to compete at the Olympic relay in Anterselva in 2026. One step along the way is to hopefully participate in a relay at the world cup during this upcoming season. I am very excited to be an active part in building something new, and I am grateful for the opportunity that the Belgian federation has given me and the other women on the team to achieve something never done before for our country. 

We have already completed two training camps, one in Belgium and another in France, which is also the destination for our next camp right around the corner. This time we will be going to Bessans, France, for the first altitude camp of the year. This season I will include altitude training in my plan, and I will stay in Bessans for three weeks. I’m looking forward to adapting to the thin air and to putting in the hard work needed these upcoming months!
