Alex Bowman is a running coach who went from non-runner to marathon runner to ultra runner in just three years, turning what were once distant dreams into lived reality. In December 2025, Alex moved to Dubai to pursue a career and passion rooted in running, movement, and community.
For Alex, running isn’t just about pace or distance, it’s a way of life. It’s a powerful tool that helped him navigate pain and trauma experienced over the years, transforming those challenges into purpose, passion, and daily discipline. Through running, Alex discovered resilience, clarity, and the rewards that come from showing up consistently.
His personal achievements include completing 8 marathons across Europe and the UAE, a 2:50marathon time, a 1:17 half marathon, running 100km on a treadmill, and completing 6 ultra marathons in 6 days.
Alex’s mission is to be open about his journey the highs, the lows, and everything in between, to help inspire others to start or continue their own personal running journey, whatever that looks like for them.
One thing Alex firmly believes: never downplay any run. There’s no such thing as “I only did.” Any distance, any pace, simply getting out and running is an incredible achievement.
