Reed Fischer

Pro Marathon Runner

Reed is one of the top half and full marathon runners in the U.S.

After a quiet high school career, Reed was a walk on at Drake University where he developed into a multi-time NCAA Qualifier. He then moved to Boulder, CO in 2017 and helped found the team he currently trains with, Tinman Elite.

Reed has finished top-10 in multiple World Marathon Majors, the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials, and has qualified for the World Half Marathon Championships twice.

Joining the Precision Fuel & Hydration team in 2025 after over a year of using Carb Only Drink Mix and PH 1000 electrolytes to fuel his marathons, Reed is excited to continue running and fueling hard.

Beyond the race course, Reed is a run coach and manages marketing efforts for his team, Tinman Elite.

Before finding Precision Fuel & Hydration, I was doing my best to fuel with one-size-fits most formulas. Being able to dial in my nutrition and fueling for my own needs with PF&H has been huge for my performance.

Reed's Top Tips

  • Train your gut early and often
  • Take your splits every 5km in a marathon as breaking the race into bigger chunks can be a mental boost
  • Add short and fast strides to a couple of easy run sessions per week
