Steve Born

 

Steve's decade-plus of involvement in the sports nutrition industry, as well as nearly 15 years of independent research in nutritional fueling and supplementation, has given him unmatched familiarity with the myriad product choices available to athletes. Steve provides individual consultations to athletes of every level - beginner to professional - and in every discipline of endurance sports, helping them to achieve optimal performance in their training and racing. Steve says, "I derive just as much pleasure helping other people reach their goals as I do my own; it's the best part of the job."

Steve's athletic career spans 15 years. Among his accomplishments he is a three-time Race Across America finisher, the 1994 Furnace Creek 508 Champion and 1999 runner-up, the only cyclist in history to complete a Double Furnace Creek 508, and is the holder of two ultra marathon cycling records. Steve's most recent achievement was induction to the Ultra Marathon Cycling Hall of Fame. He is the fifth person to receive this recognition. In addition to cycling, Steve is also an avid Nordic skier, having competed in several marathon races in the past decade.

Along with providing technical support to athletes, Steve is the editor of Endurance News, authored "The Endurance Athlete's Guide To Success" (which will exceed 100,000 copies/downloads by early 2004), and manages the several hundred events that Hammer Nutrition sponsors.
