Robbert Slagers

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.

My favourite Etixx products

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.

My personal sporting achievements

10 km marathon Eindhoven in a nice time.

My #GiveItYourAll moments in 2024

Above all, I want to stay fit this year. And maybe run a half marathon.

Cycling

I am Nanoi Van Wettere, 18 years old, and I grew up in the world of cycling.
