Fischer ran under Coach Dan Hostager while competing at Drake University[2] from 2013 to 2017. In his time at Drake, Fischer ran personal bests[3] of 8:04 in the 3,000m, 13:47 in the 5,000m, and 28:48 in the 10,000m.

After graduating from Drake University in 2017, Fischer moved to Boulder, Colorado to train with Drew Hunter and Sam Parsons. The trio eventually formed professional running team, Tinman Elite[5].
