Silke Werkhoven

Hi, I’m Silke, also known as @fitbysilke. I’m a passionate runner on a mission to break the 3-hour mark in the marathon. When I’m not logging miles on the road, you’ll find me on the bike, I even founded a cycling group in Friesland to bring people together through movement. Through every high and low, I share my journey authentically to inspire others to move with purpose, grow through challenges, and push beyond their limits.

My favourite Etixx products

As a dedicated runner, I swear by Nutritional Energy gels. They’re my go-to fuel for those challenging miles. Whether I’m pushing through intervals or chasing a long-run goal, they give me the boost I need to stay strong and keep moving forward.

Atletismo - Salto con pértiga

Soy Fleur, 23 años, saltadora de pértiga y estudiante de fisioterapia. Practico el atletismo desde los 6 años. A los 15 me especialicé en salto con pértiga. El deporte es mi afición y mi pasión. Soy un animal competitivo, me encanta superar mis límites físicos y me mueve alcanzar mis metas. Además de en la pista de atletismo, también puedes encontrarme entre mis libros de texto, sobre la bicicleta de carreras o en una acogedora cafetería. Los productos Etixx me ayudan a rendir de forma óptima durante los ajetreados periodos de entrenamiento y competición y, de este modo, seguir persiguiendo mis objetivos.

Trail running and ultrarunning

Enjoying life is very important to me so family time, travelling, foodies but definitely running are my priorities. I can also combine my running story with the rest so that is definitely a plus.

Distance running, cycling and padel

I am Jeroen D'hoedt and I like to practice a number of sports including running, cycling, padel, tennis, mountain biking, etc. The nice thing is that Etixx has the right products for each of these sports in its range, ensuring optimum recovery between training sessions. I have also been able to take part in a few Etixx events such as the Ghent-Wevelgem Cyclo, a fantastic experience!
