Jeff Browning is an ultrarunner who goes by the nickname of Bronco Billy. He has over 120 ultramarathons on his running resume. He has recently been listed by Utrarunning Magazine www.ultrarunning.com as one of the Top 10 Ultrarunners. Jeff is an ultrarunning coach.
This is Episode 71 of the Mile after Mile Podcast. This is a slightly different type of interview because the focus of the interview is not a single extreme event. Jeff and I don’t just discuss one race we discuss his personal nutrition journey and how he has fueled his ultrarunning over the years.
What is an ultramarathon? How did Jeff get his start in Ultrarunning? Why run a 100 mile race?
