I started using Precision Fuel & Hydration before my race at Challenge Daytona and I couldn’t believe how much better I felt before, during and after the event. For me, it’s a game-changer.

Adam Bowden

Elite Marathon Runner

Adam is a professional runner who competed at a national standard in athletics and swimming earlier in his career, representing Great Britain and England at cross country and on the track and road.

Adam specialised in the 3km steeplechase and he finished 9th at the 2006 Commonwealth Games, before being crowned British National Champion and Olympic trials winner in 2008.

Seeking a new challenge, Adam moved into triathlon and was accepted as a member of British Triathlon’s talent identification program. Following a 2016 ITU World Triathlon Series where he finished the season ranked in 9th place, Adam achieved his highest placing in an individual ITU World Series event when he finished 4th at Leeds in 2017.

Adam turned his attention to longer distances racing, winning his first IM 70.3 in Dubai and he broke the British middle-distance record. He then returned to his running roots in 2021 and has won numerous road marathons in elite fields since.

I started using Precision Fuel & Hydration before my race at Challenge Daytona and I couldn’t believe how much better I felt before, during and after the event. For me, it’s a game-changer.
