Thomas De Bock
Hello, I am Thomas De Bock, 30 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.
My discipline
Athletics - marathon -> Runners' lab Athletics Team
Number of hours’ training per week
20 hours
My favourite Etixx products
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.
Why are you satisfied that Etixx has become the new sports nutrition partner of the Runners' lab Athletics Team?
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.

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.

Gymnastics
I am Axelle. I am 20 years old and a gymnast. The event I like and do best is floor exercise. I am also a student, studying biomedical laboratory technology. I mainly use the Etixx Health Supplements. This isn't used much by us yet because it isn't really an endurance sport, we mainly have to be fast and explosive. But if we ever have an energy dip, the Etixx products are an excellent help.

Athletics (Heptathlon)
I am Noor Vidts, all-round runner and bioengineering student. Besides athletics, I also played basketball until I was 18 years old. I love sports and really enjoy what I do. You will regularly catch me smiling. Etixx has a wide range of products that help you to train optimally.
