Career

He was born in Inverness and first took part in athletics at primary school.[1] He was with Inverness Harriers for 13 years and was the first member of the club to win a world medal.[2]

He studied at Heriot Watt University, graduating with MA (Hons) in International Business Management and Languages degree and a winner of the Watt Club Medal for Languages in 2011.[3] After graduating he took on a part-time job as an athletics development officer in East Lothian.[4]

In the 2011 European Athletics U23 Championships, competing for the Great Britain team he won gold with the 4 × 400m relay.[5]

He ran in the 2013 World Championships in Athletics – Men's 4 × 400 metres relay, and the team ran a season’s best but finished fourth. UK Athletics selected him to receive support from the World Class Performance Programme for 2013-2014 because they judged him to have Olympic potential.[6]

On 18 January 2014, while competing at the Scottish National Open in Glasgow he set a personal best of recorded 47.09 seconds, which was the second-fastest time for Scottish men's indoor 400m.[7] On 15 February 2014, he lowered his personal best for 400 Metres on an indoor track to 46.58 seconds, when competing at a British Athletics Grand Prix in Birmingham.[8] He was then selected to run in the Great Britain 4 × 400m relay team at the 2014 IAAF World Indoor Championships, running the third leg and winning a silver medal.[9] He then went to Florida for a month for some intensive training before the Commonwealth Games.[10]

In August 2014, Bowie competed in the 4 × 400 m relay for Scotland team in the xx Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.[1]

In January 2015, in the first international match of the British Athletics indoor season he ran in the individual 400m, winning the race with a time of 47.38 seconds.[11]
