On november 6 Bert Poffé will meet the "Zeepreventorium Atacama competitors"!
 Exactly! When patients heard about Bert's upcoming challenge, they decided to have the same challenge. Together with counsellors and physiotherapist we’re having our own Atacama!
This way we want to give Bert the necessary extra positive energy and convince other people that moving is healthy.
2 challenges have been set up.
Veronique, an adult patient suffering from Cystic Fibrosis, waiting for new lungs (lungtransplantation), started the challenge to run the whole Atacama distance by the time that Bert starts in Chile. She ‘ll be doing it with oxygen- and Bi-livel respiratory support.
The Piranhas group is a group of patients suffering from obesity, between the age of 16 and 18 years old. During the week that Bert is in the Atacama desert, they will do their own Atacama Run. Each indivudual will cover 250 kms! The coming months they will train hard to be in the best shape ever for this project!.
In the coming weeks you’ll be able to follow Veronique’s improvements and the Piranhas training on this blog.
Bert, let’s go for it, together !!

 Less than six months separate me from finding myself running around with a backpack in the Atacama Desert. On the Atacama Crossing, a backpack is not just a backpack, it's your life. Everything you need for the week is in there!
The right choice when picking a good backpack, your closest friend in the race, is vital!
No time for fooling around and fun ‘gear testing’. Having faith in what experienced ultra runners tell me about this backpack, I opted for the Raidlight Runner R-LIGHT 30 l, a record breaker in lightness for this multipurpose backpack designed for long racing events and hikes.

 All competitive athletes know that not only the right attitude and training are required when preparing for a game or competition, the food part is also crucial when you want to be in the best shape possible. That is why we are providing Bert with the right proteins in order to build and strengthen his muscles in a safe and delicious way during his precious preparation time leading up to the big challenge: crossing the Atacama desert safe and sound without injuries.
Daily, Bert is drinking 2 healthy shakes with the Sun Warrior Rice Protein (www.healthxl.be) adding some fruits or greens for extra flavour. After the first week, he noticed a big difference compared to regular whey and soy protein powders: very digestible, no bloating and faster recovery, just to name a few. Right now, he's just started his 4th bottle, I guess that's a sign he really likes the results + the taste :-)
What makes Sun Warrior Rice Protein so special? It contains 85% protein, it's totally vegan without soy or whey and on top of it all, it is tasteful. You can combine it with anything you want: as a base you can use water or any kind of milk, then you can add fresh fruits like bananas and strawberries, some green leafy vegetables or green powder, cacao powder, .... Get creative and gain muscle the healthy way!
In the meantime, Bert enrolled for a workshop on healthy superfoods on October 31st , in Mechelen with my good friends David Wolfe and Piter Caizer.
Good Luck Bert !!
