The Compex team are delighted to welcome Pau Capell to our roster of athletes. Pau is a 2x Ultra Trail World Champion and will now have an army of Compex training and recovery products to help him #FeelNextLevel.

We sat down with Pau to discuss his life, career and new affiliation with the Compex brand.

Compex: Welcome to the Compex Team, Pau! Please could you explain to the Compex audience something about yourself? What is your background? 

Pau: I am a professional Trail Running athlete and also an engineer, but I never got to work on it. After recovering from a cruciate ligament and meniscus injury at the age of 20, I discovered Trail Running and from then on I discovered a parallel reality. I have always been very athletic, loving both football and tennis. This quote chases me: "Fight for your goals and love what you have”. I think it is essential to have a strong balance between the dreams that you have and the people with whom you want to achieve them. For me, family and friends are the most important things, so if they can they always accompany me to the races.

Compex: How did you get into doing sports?

Pau: It all started because of my parents. I remember being a kid and practicing sports with them. I have always played football and tennis, always at the amateur level, but the best thing was practicing them with my parents and brothers and being able to share this passion with them. In addition, I am passionate about the sea and I have also competed in sailing.

Compex: Which Compex products do you normally use?

Pau: I use muscle stimulation to recover from intense training sessions, but I hope to use all the products that Compex has recently released on the market.

Compex: How does Compex help you find the competitive edge?

Pau: In recovery, a lot!

Compex: Tell us a quote that describes your way of life

Pau: Fight for your goals and love what you have.

Compex: Hi Frederik, great to see you and hope you're well! Please give us an insight to you?

Frederik: Hi guys, certainly so I'm from Belgium, living in Menen close to the border with France (Lille) and I'm affiliated to Compex Benelux team.

Compex: Thanks Frederik, and how did you get into your sport?

Frederik: I'm a Triathlete. I started when I was 17 (I'm now 40 in 2019) and I turned pro when I was 23, having previously been a competition swimmer. My goal as an athlete is to continue until 2020 and win as many Ironman as possible. I still have 3 years to prove my value. For me, the important thing is to believe in yourself, and that's what I do all the time.

Compex: That's great, you've certainly been a committed Triathlete for a long time! How does Compex Muscle Stim help you to find a competitive edge?

Frederik: Compex helps me in every concept to improve. To recover faster and better so that I can train harder to get stronger.

Compex: Good to hear! Which programme/s do you use?

Frederik: I use it for Recovery after training and competition which really helps me a lot. I also use it before some training sessions to prepare muscle activity, which is very helpful!

Compex: Do you use other Compex products? 

Frederik: I'm really interested in using Compex Tape more often.

Compex: Awesome, well we wish all the best for the season Frederik, we're sure you'll smash it!

Frederik: Thanks a lot guys!
