Can’t speak for you, but while I applaud and admire Ian, I want to WIN health and energy wise whether I’m an athlete or NOT.
Athlete Ian Adamson Optimizes His Health]
Using Tahitian NONI
There are some pretty amazing people out there who love and endorse Tahitian Noni International and its products. One of those amazing people is Ian Adamson.
Recently we caught up with Ian to learn a little bit about what makes him tick. Ian is an incredible athlete, a wonderful person, and I’m guessing you’ll be pretty impressed with his accomplishments. Let’s get to know Ian a little better, and find out why he depends on Tahitian Noni Bioactive Beverage to keep him going strong.
Tahitian Noni International: Ian, it’s so great to be with you! For those of you who don’t know you, please give us a little introduction.
Ian Adamson: My name is Ian Adamson and I live in Boulder, Colorado. I was born in Sydney, Australia and moved to the US in 1991 as a bio-medical engineer. I’m now a dual US/Australian citizen.
TNI: You are a true multi-sport athlete. What exactly does that mean, and in what sports do you compete?
IA: I’m an ultra-endurance athlete, which means I compete in long distance races–anything over a 26.2 mile running marathon in length (or equivalent). I’m a multi-sport athlete which means I compete in many sports, sometimes many in one race. This may include running, cycling, kayaking, swimming, climbing, mountaineering, horseback riding, sailing, skiing … pretty much anything non-motorized.
TNI: WOW! Anything over 26.2 miles? Crazy! How long have you competed like this?
IA: My first experience in ultra-endurance competition was in 1984 in a 70 mile kayak race. I placed 3rd and was hooked.
TNI: What made you decide to be an ultra-endurance athlete?
IA: I have always been a Jack of all sports, so when adventure racing (events like the Eco-Challenge and Primal Quest) became popular it was a natural fit. The Eco-Challenge introduced millions of people (and sponsors) to the sport in the US in 1995 and gave me the opportunity to become a professional athlete.
TNI: You’ve been involved in so many races and events–what has been your greatest achievement as a competitor?
IA: Competition has been kind to me over the years, but a few highlights stand out. Winning Gold, Silver and Bronze medals at the ESPN X-Games, my 7th adventure racing World Championship win in 2006 and current Guinness Book World Record for endurance kayaking (262 miles in 24 hours) are my favorites.
TNI: Impressive! I love that you’re a Guiness World Record holder! Now I’m sure you face so many challenges as an ultra-endurance athlete. What is your greatest competitive challenge?
IA: This year’s Badwater Ultramarathon (July 12th) is proving to be my biggest challenge to date. This is a single sport (running only), starting at the hottest time of the year and continuing non-stop for 135 miles to Mt Whitney portal. Daytime temperatures can average 140 degrees and there is over 16,000 ft of elevation gain.
TNI: UNBELIEVABLE! So I’m assuming Tahitian Noni Bioactive Beverages are a big part of your training routine. When were you introduced to Tahitian Noni Bioactive Beverage?
IA: Merilee Johnson (daughter of Lil) introduced me to the Juice in (about) 2001. There is no question that TNBB has been a contributing factor to the longevity and success of my athletic career.
TNI: How do you use Tahitian Noni Bioactive Beverage and other TNI products in your training?
IA: I drink TNBB and take supplements daily for training and health maintenance.
TNI: Do you consider TNI Products an important part of your daily routine?
IA: Absolutely. It is ESPECIALLY important to allow me to maintain the highest level of fitness and remain healthy. Heavy endurance training creates immense stress on your body and immune system and requires top quality nutrition. Tahitian Noni Bioactive Beverage and all the other TNI products help me maintain physical capacity and mental acuity necessary to compete at the highest level of competition. Personal care products protect me from the elements and help me maintain my youthful appearance!
I must say I’m impressed, but I’m so tempted to put a clip from super Nanny here that includes a mother running after toddlers, or staying up waiting for a teenager to come home, or even a father who works all day and is then expected to dig deep and find the energy when he gets home to help out around the house and spend time with the kids.
We may not all be marathon runners, or extreme fighters, but each and everyone of us have our own version of being an athlete in our own lives. The pulls on our energy and energy reserves are our personal mount Everest. We’ve got to get it done… get it all done. What works for Ian can work for us.
