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.

Cycling

I am Maaike Coljé, professional cyclist for the French team Arkea B&B Hotels. I also graduated in Industrial Design Engineering and do small projects as a freelance (graphic) designer. Besides a passion for sport, I have a passion for food, cooking & baking, nature and design. I love to draw and therefore love working on design briefs. I am convinced that the purest possible food is best for health and performance. For this reason, I bake and cook a lot to make use of pure ingredients. I hope to inspire others with my recipes and application of pure food.

Running and fitness

Hi. I am Robbert Slagers, I am most happy when I run that gives me so much joy. I did different sports like korfball, hockey 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.
