Hi. I am Robbert Slagers, I am most happy when I run that gives me so much joy. I did different sports like korfball, hocke and basketball. Until my son's BSO school asked if I wanted to join the kids run of the Eindhoven Marathon. I liked it so much and it was a great experience that I started getting into running. I started training to get my fitness level up, so that I could start achieving my goal of running a longer distance at the Eindhoven Marathon one day.
Then I also started my Instagram page to share my passion for running with other people to motivate them to start running. Due to my work as a truck driver, it is not always easy to find time to train. Time that I have, I try to train to achieve my next goal. Also, I want to show that anyone can run as long as you believe that anything is possible, even you can achieve it.

I drink the Recovery Shake PRO LINE after heavy workouts and races. I also use the Isotonic to keep my energy levels up during races and replenish my minerals and, of course, the Energy Gels are also great during races and training sessions.
Trail running, running, cycling, and triathlon
Sport has been a part of my life since I was a child. When I discovered trail running through my climbing partner at the end of 2015, this sport grew into my biggest passion next to cycling. Covering ultra-distances over inhospitable terrain. Overcoming yourself, nature and the elements after an endless battle. Finishing a challenging trail run or skyrace gives me great satisfaction. Running gives me the faith and mental strength to keep going at all times. Both on a professional, personal and sports level. Etixx is an important link in this chain. You find the necessary willpower, determination and physical capability within yourself. But having the right nutrition before, during and after exercise can sometimes be the key to success.
