Manuela Soccol

Enjoying life is very important to me so family time, travelling, foodies but definitely running are my priorities. I can also combine my running story with the rest so that is definitely a plus.

My discipline

Trail running and ultrarunning -> Add Tongeren

Number of hours’ training per week

10h

"The more miles I run,
the more food for my belly."

My conviction for choosing Etixx as sports nutrition partner

In recent years, I have been experimenting with different brands and have not had a fixed line in my sports nutrition. It is definitely an added value to find all the products within one brand, especially if it is well supported.
