CJ Albertson
Elite Marathon Runner
CJ is a professional marathon runner from Fresno, CA, USA.
He has four top-10 finishes at World Marathon Majors and is the 50k world record holder.
He has been using Precision Fuel & Hydration for two years after a recommendation by his uncle and used it exclusively in 2024, where he set his marathon PR of 2:08:17 and ran 2:10 or faster five times throughout the year.
In addition to racing, CJ is a cross country and track and field coach at Clovis Community College.
Using Precision Fuel & Hydration has allowed me to conveniently consume 100+ grams of carbs per hour and keep my intensity high throughout marathon races. I've also been able to complete two high-intensity workouts in a day with better energy levels.
