I am Ingrid Rosmalen 41 years old. Sports and a healthy-lifestyle are a common thread in my life.

At the age of 34 I came into contact with running, it felt right away and from there I also started to develop a passion for trail running and obstacle running. Today, I run distances from 5 to 55 km. You can also wake me up for a 5-kilometre race in my city Nijmegen, or the Nijmegen four-day walking event. So one time I run a marathon in Lapland on the Arctic Circle and 3 months later an ultra trail of 53 km through the mountains of Mayrhofen in Austria. On the road, in the forests through the mountains in the snow, with obstacles... it can't be challenging enough for me. A while ago I ran an obstacle run for three days in a row in the mountains of Morzine and started an expedition to the top of Killimanjaro in Africa. And as my most recent adventure, I ran the Cyprus marathon. My motto is:

If you want to achieve something then you can, but you have to believe in yourself that you can do it!

I so enjoy running outside and being one with nature. To enjoy what nature has to offer throughout the year: every season has its charm. A few times a year, I go abroad for a trail in the mountains or to run a marathon in a place not commonplace. Over the years, I have also had the opportunity to climb the podium several times; a few proud highlights:

• First woman Kaaijsjouwers run 2019
• Third woman City run Oss 2019
• First woman Artic Wild marathon of Lapland 2022
• Third woman in age group 40-49 Cyprus marathon
• Third woman in age group 40-49 Molenhoeks Makkie 2022

Besides running and trail running, I also do crossfit and since the beginning of this year I have been competing in Hyrox races this is a functional-fitness competition. The combination of strength and fitness makes Hyrox a race for athletes from different sports backgrounds; with more than 45 races on 3 continents. The race consists of 1km of running followed by a workout and this pattern repeats 8 times.

From 2018 I have been using products from FIT Muscle Care, Through social media I won a tube of FIT Sports Balm and since then there has always been a tube like this in my bag. I use it before and after a race, after a hard workout. It helps me restore my muscles, tendons and joints and makes them relax properly after a tough workout or sporting event.

FIT's balm feels really good when I rub it in and is not sticky or greasy. As a result, I can always use FIT even if I want to apply medical tape when I need to.

As an ambassador of FIT Muscle Care, I can really recommend the products to everyone, whether you are a recreational athlete or a top-level athlete. I am therefore proud that FIT has the confidence in me as an athlete.
