Hello, I am Thomas De Bock, 33 years old, and in addition to my passion for marathon running, I work as a doctoral student in the Sport Management research group at Ghent University.
In my athletics career I have already participated in European and World Championships, but I still have two big goals: to run as often and as fast as possible under 2:10 in the marathon and to put in a strong performance at this year's European Marathon Championships at home.
Master in history, master in business economics, master in EU studies, PhD sport management
