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.

I always use the Isotonic during my endurance training so that I can finish my workouts with enough energy and keep my fluid levels up. I also use the Sport Hydro Tab every day for longer, more intensive training sessions.
Etixx has a very wide and scientific range of sports nutrition products. This means that every athlete in our team can find all the products in the Etixx range, tailored to his/her needs and in function of his/her number. This allows training sessions and races to be completed even more efficiently.

Urologist & Endurance Athlete Sport has been an integral part of my life from an early age. Beginning with swimming and volleyball in my youth, I continued this passion through secondary school, focusing on sports sciences. Today, as a practicing urologist and surgeon, I find balance and rejuvenation through running and cycling after demanding days in the hospital. I am proud to serve as a team doctor for Alpecin–Deceuninck, where I merge my medical expertise with my enthusiasm for cycling. Personally, I’ve completed several granfondos, notably finishing as the fourth woman in the Cannibale. Over the past two years, I’ve embraced gravel biking, enjoying the freedom it offers in nature. Running remains a cornerstone of my routine. Since 2025, I’ve been a member of the ASICS FrontRunner team, embodying the philosophy “Sound Mind, Sound Body.” With three marathons completed and a personal best of 3:45, I’ve recently ventured into trail running and am preparing for my first trail race this summer. For me, sport is more than just physical activity—it’s therapy, passion, and a way of life.
