Robin Hendrix

I am a distance runner of 28 years old and I live in Kapelle-op-den-Bos. I started taking part in international championships at the age of 22, and the Olympic Games in Tokyo were the biggest event I ever had the privilege of taking part in. Until last year, I was still studying for my bachelor's degree in architecture at the LUCA school of arts in Brussels. Since this year, I have been practising my sport professionally under contract at Topsport Belgian Defence. I dream of achieving a top 10 place at a World Championship or Olympic Games.


My discipline

Athletics (5000m and 10000m) -> Runners' Lab Athletics Team, Kon. Olympic Essenbeek Halle


Number of hours’ training per week

My favourite Etixx products

Recovery Shake PRO LINE: The ideal recovery shake I need after heavy workouts.

Iron 125 AA: I use it to go on altitude training, where it is crucial not to have an iron deficiency. In addition, the included vitamins ensure good absorption.

Night Protein Shake: Helps me to recover well during the night from a heavy training or competition.


Why are you satisfied that Etixx has become the new sports nutrition partner of the Runners' lab Athletics Team?

Etixx's extensive product range makes it easy for me to use products I feel comfortable with and which are necessary in the sport I practice. Moreover, Etixx has many years of experience in sports nutrition and its products are of very high quality.

Marathon

I am Simon Debognies, a professional distance runner with the Ministry of Defence and the Runners' Lab Athletics Team. I am currently specialising in the 5000 metres and the 10000 metres. In the longer term, I want to make the step to the marathon. The running bug has been with me since I was a child, and I caught it during my first school cross-country run in the park at the end of my street. Immediately afterwards, I joined the local athletics club and the starting shot was fired for a career as an athlete. Many worn-out running shoes later, I have Belgian and European medals in my pocket, as well as experience at international championships. Now, with a lot of passion and ambition, I am working towards my next goals.
