Dan Jones
Elite ultrarunner
Dan focuses on distance running, specifically trail running, from the marathon distance all the way up to the 100-miler.
Dan initially heard of Precision Fuel & Hydration through his old boss, endurance athlete and coach, Dougal Allan. He then tried the products when out on the trails with his good mate and training partner (and fellow PF&H athlete) Hayden Hawks.
The first proper test using the Precision Fuel & Hydration range was on his Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc debut, where he came away from France with an amazing experience and a 12th place finish. We're excited to be working with Dan to help refine his race nutrition strategy for the epic challenges to come.
Precision Fuel & Hydration has helped fuel my training and racing. It's been a game-changer for me.
