Sandrine Tas
I'm a 27yo sports fanatic and bioscience engineer. Whatever sport or task I'm performing, I will give it my all to be the best possible me. I'm really grateful that Etixx helps me to achieve this. I've grown up spending most of my free time on inline skates but my olympic dream has pushed me to switch asphalt for ice. Last winter I proudly represented Belgium at the Beijing Winter Olympics in speedskating.

My favourite Etixx products
I use the Isotonic Lemon almost every training session. It gives me the right amount of energy and water so I don't run out but also don't overload on sugar. The Natural Oat Bar is perfect for my long endurance trainings on the bike. It's not only super delicious, it also makes sure I don't get hungry towards the end.
My favourite healthy snack is the High Protein Bar. I'd call it a guilty pleasure but it's not even guilty, just a pleasure!

Running
I am primarily someone who doesn't give up easily and who sees everything positively. In addition to running for myself recreationally (60-100 km/week), I am also Charlotte Van Hese’s trainer. The aim is to make her a real top athlete without her losing the pleasure of running. The Etixx products are a fantastic asset for my (now much less) injury-prone body. I am very proud to be a part of this top team!

Athletics (marathon)
Hello, I am Thomas De Bock, 31 years old and working as a doctoral student at the research group of sports management at UGent. In between working hours I run a lot of kilometres, mostly in preparation of a marathon. In the past, I have already tasted European and World Championships but I still have two major goals in my athletics career, namely to run under 2h10 at the marathon and qualifying for the Olympic marathon in 2024.

Athletics
I am Stijn Fincioen and I have been doing athletics for over 25 years now. In addition to being an athlete, I am also a ‘Trainer A’ [top-level trainer] for middle distance/long distance. I now pass on my experience and knowledge to my athletes at Olympic Brugge and the West-Vlaamse Alliantie (WVA) I was already there when Etixx was launched and I feel particularly good with these products. They provide good support alongside my daily diet. In 2019, I became an Etixx ambassador. I am happy that, as an ambassador, I can share my experiences with other athletes so that they can prepare themselves optimally according to their personal goals.
