Jeff Browning is one of the greatest ultrarunners of our generation. Winning over two dozen 100-mile races, being on the podium of some of the hardest ultras, and most recently, securing an FKT on the Colorado Trail, Jeff has immense experience in the sport of ultrarunning. Some of the biggest keys to his success comes from his mindset and how he mentally approaches ultras. And his approach isn't woo-woo; it's backed by neuroscience and psychology, which speaks to why Jeff is able to keep performing at a high level throughout his career. On top of that, logistics play a huge role in ultrarunning. When it comes to pacers, crew, and time at aid stations, optimizing those things also can be a difference between a longer finish time and a PR. And Jeff has fine-tuned his logistical strategy to be top-notch over the years. In this episode, Jeff shares practical tips on how to deploy proven and powerful mental strategies in an ultra, how to rewire your brain to not DNF in an ultra (even if you have before), and how to save tons of time in your ultras by mastering the logistics.

Episode Summary:   In this episode, Peter Defty and Jeff Browning dive into applying the science of optimizing metabolic health for athletes. The focus of the discussion is on the benefits for athletes of all levels, not just elite competitors. Through their combined experience and expertise, they explore how to enhance performance, recovery, and overall health using strategic nutritional interventions and training adaptations.   Key Takeaways:     Building Metabolic Capacity yields the Metabolic efficiency and flexibility necessary for athletes of all levels to enhance performance and recovery. Strategic fueling and hydration tailored to the individual and conditions makes a significant difference in endurance events. Recovery is as important as training, with specific dietary strategies playing a key role in minimizing inflammation and speeding up recovery. Through maximizing beta-oxidation, the fat burning state, and minimizing glycolysis OFM prevents the damaging effects of the oxidative stress and lactate load you need to recover from. This is the real reason OFM recovery is “off the charts” . Collaboration between athletes and coaches is essential to continually improve and adapt strategies for optimal performance. Topics Discussed:   Helping All Athletes:   Peter and Jeff discuss working with athletes of various abilities and how building  metabolic capacity isn't just for elite runners. Success stories from athletes participating in ultra-endurance events like the 250 and 125-mile races.   Nutritional Strategies for big races:   Importance of using Vespa every 2 hours during races and staying on top of hydration needs, especially in maintaining electrolyte balance. Adjusting nutrition and hydration in the highly dynamic environment of the longer ultras. Focusing on  the foundational fueling of fat adaptation with a focus on building metabolic capacity rather than an oversimplified formula of carb calories in to make up for the energy expenditure.   Case Studies:    Highlighting specific athletes like Mike and Chad who have seen significant improvements by adopting these nutritional strategies. Chad's journey to becoming lean and race-ready with Jeff's guidance.   Training and Lifestyle:    The role of OFM in lifestyle, also being able to race more and perform at optimal levels consistently. How Jeff prepares his athletes, including personalized training camps and optimizing their diets for race day.   Adapting on the Fly:   The need to be intuitive and adapt nutrition and hydration plans based on race conditions. Real-world examples of how athletes adjusted their strategies during events. How building metabolic capacity through OFM gives the athlete metabolic efficiency and flexibility. Post Race Recovery Techniques:   Post-race recovery strategies to minimize inflammation and promote faster recovery. Importance of diet in the first 72 hours post-race to enhance recovery and reduce swelling, water retention and inflammation.   Longevity and Health:   How building metabolic capacity yields long-term health and athletic longevity. Personal anecdotes from Jeff on how this approach has benefited him in his mid-forties and early fifties. This episode provides valuable insights into the practical application of OFM. Whether you are an elite athlete or just starting, the strategies shared by Peter and Jeff can help you achieve better performance, health and longevity in sport and life!   The first and simplest step to experience what tapping into your limitless energy can do to transform your fueling is to go to Vespapower.com and grab a 12 pack of Vespa, a metabolic catalyst to support your native physiology.   If you want help to build your metabolic capacity check out our resources at ofm.io.

62. Your Genetics Are Not Your Destiny: How Lifestyle Choices Shape Our Health Destiny

Food for Thought

Play Episode Listen Later Feb 15, 2024 24:16


Elite Ultramarathoner, Jeff Browning, is most often perceived as an outlier due to his extraordinary health, fitness and ability to compete at the top of the sport at the age of 52, but the truth is, Jeff has made lifestyle choices that prioritize his health rather than follow a path most people consider as ‘normal'. Truth be told, Jeff is what normal should be. Let's dive in.   Jeff comes from a background that many would find surprisingly ordinary. Raised in a Midwestern farming family, Jeff's history is one not of genetic exceptionalism but of conscious lifestyle choices that have steered him away from the health issues that plagued his relatives.   Here are the talking points of this interview:   Background and Family Health History   Jeff comes from a Midwestern farming family, challenging the notion that his health achievements are due to special genetics. He has a family history of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease, with both parents and siblings initially struggling with weight and health issues. Despite these challenges, Jeff has made significant health improvements, demonstrating that genetics don't have to dictate health outcomes.   Diet and Lifestyle Choices:   Jeff witnessed the negative health impacts of the standard American diet and sedentary lifestyle on his family. While Jeff was always physically active he was influenced by an uncle who maintained good health through regular exercise and a healthier diet. His uncle stood out among other family members because he maintained his health as he aged which left an impression upon Jeff to adopt similar habits. Jeff's journey to OFM was one of transitioning through various diets, including vegetarianism, before committing to the OFM in late 2015.  Jeff & OFM's emphasis is to mainly use whole, unprocessed foods with an emphasis animal products.   Limitations of Vegetarian Diet:   Jeff was always hungry on a vegetarian diet. He found his body composition was drastically affected on the Vegetarian diet and this motivated him to try different animal based whole food diets. While OFM's dietary recommendations center around consuming the “Whole Animal” for nutritional balance, this does not mean consuming a ton of meat. In fact, because animal based foods are so nutritionally dense, the amount a person needs is surprisingly small.   How OFM Transformed Jeff's Health:   With OFM Jeff has optimized his body to burn fat, which has helped him to continue competing at the highest level in his sport.  In addition to avoiding the health outcomes of his family, OFM got his Candida overgrowth under control and in remission.  OFM allows him to consume carbs on occasion and without stress to yield the health and performance benefits he enjoys without his Candida flaring up. Exercise and Physical Activity:   Jeff emphasizes the importance of regular physical activity, including running, weightlifting, and outdoor sports. His exercise regimen aligns with natural human movement patterns and contributes significantly to his overall health.   Environmental and Sustainable Food Production:   Advocates for supporting grass-fed ranches and local agriculture as more environmentally sustainable practices. Challenges the environmental impact of monoculture farming and promotes understanding of natural systems and the importance of animal products in a balanced diet.   Personal Health Improvements and Insights:   Not only has OFM helped Jeff avoid the health issues prevalent in his family but it has kept him at the top of his sport and relatively injury free. He emphasizes the role of nutrition to: Avoid pharmaceutical interventions  Placing conditions like his Candida into remission without pharmacological means. (note: this is conditional. When appropriate pharmaceutical interventions are necessary to correct an acute case of a certain disease)   Advice on Genetics and Health:   Jeff and Peter make a compelling real world argument against the fatalistic view that genetics are one's destiny through advocating for diet and lifestyle choices as tools to program our genes to work for us rather than against us.

In this conversation, Jeff Browning discusses his introduction to ultra running and his transition to 200-mile races. He shares his coaching philosophy and how it has evolved over the years. Jeff also talks about the challenges and strategies involved in training for and racing 200-mile events. He reflects on his experiences in Moab and Sedona Canyons 125 and how they have informed his approach to Cocodona 250. Jeff emphasizes the importance of nutrition, hydration, and sleep strategies in 200-mile races, as well as the recovery process after such events. In this conversation, Jeff Browning discusses various aspects of ultra running, including race strategy, the rise of 200-mile races, perspective shifts after running 200-milers, future challenges, the puzzle of ultra running, highs and lows in races, favorite gear, and the search for limits. Takeaways 200-mile races have gained popularity in recent years due to the adventure and challenge they offer. Training for a 200-mile race requires a strategic approach, including building up mileage, strength training, and practicing nutrition and hydration strategies. Coaching and learning from 200-mile races have helped Jeff refine his coaching philosophy and develop strategies for his athletes. Recovery from a 200-mile race can take longer than recovery from a 100-mile race, and nutrition and sleep play crucial roles in the recovery process. When running a race, it's important to focus on your own race and not get caught up in someone else's pace. 200-mile races are becoming more popular and challenging, and there is a growing body of knowledge and coaching expertise around them. Running 200-mile races can change your perspective on shorter distances and make them seem less intimidating. Ultra running is a puzzle that requires constant learning and improvement, and there is always room for growth and fine-tuning. Favorite gear for a 200-mile race includes comfortable and durable shoes. Ultra runners are constantly searching for their limits and pushing themselves to new challenges.

55. Running The Spine: Peter Mortimer's OFM Approach for a Podium Finish in spite of Jet Lag

Food for Thought

Play Episode Listen Later Sep 8, 2023 70:52


In this podcast episode, long-time OFM Athlete, Peter Mortimer, is welcomed as a guest to share his insights . Although not a professional ultrarunner, Peter competes at a high level and has won some big races. His  ‘day job' is a career in orthopedics for a medical device company, assisting and advising surgeons in operations for hip, knee, or shoulder replacements. His work schedule is erratic because it revolves around  being present at the actual surgeries. Like most of us Peter has a life partner, adolescent children and a couple of Basset Hounds. On top of it all he has even started coaching others in ultras.   Today's podcast centers around Peter's big race of the year, The 268 Mile Spine Race, which was held this past June and is billed as Britain's toughest race. Not only does the course and distance present significant challenges to any runner but Peter had the added challenge of starting the race in a seriously jet-lagged state.    In spite of all these challenges Peter found himself finishing second overall covering the 268 miles in 93 hours, 12 minutes and 27 seconds. This included a lot of racing, ultra style, during the late stages of the race between Peter and others contending for second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth place when this group were all within a few hours of each other. And this is where the advantages of being OFM adapted played into Peter's success.    Our collaboration with athletes like Peter who are pushing themselves at the outer edge of Human Performance yields valuable insights we can share with you to reach your potential of “Higher Health & Peak Performance”.  So let's dive in.    Peter faced a considerable challenge from the onset due to the demands of international travel from Arizona to the UK without time to adjust. So, from the start of his odyssey, Peter was jet-lagged. Add to this, upon arrival Peter met with family (he's originally from the UK) whom he had not seen in years. This set him up to arrive at the start line in a state of serious sleep deprivation and jet lag.  Naturally, the physical and mental fatigue set in early, with the sleep deprivation presenting severe obstacles like sleepwalking and falling asleep unintentionally in unexpected places, including a bathroom.   Throughout the discussion, the theme is clear: the race's physical challenge is paired with a substantial mental one. From navigating unfamiliar trails and landscapes, dealing with fatigue and sleep deprivation, and experiencing hallucinations, the race is as much a mental battle as a physical one.   One specific challenge he recalled was reaching the same signpost repeatedly, despite taking different paths, which made him question his mental state. Moreover, he vividly remembers hallucinating an eerie, albino man dressed in white, on a white bicycle, beckoning to him, which startled him greatly!   However, as the runners went deeper into the race, Peter's resilience from optimizing his fat metabolism, along with the support of a LOT of Vespa Ultra-Concentrates and real food, shone through allowing Peter to pull ahead of the other runners to finish second overall.    They delve into Peter's journey with the Optimized Fat Metabolism (OFM) approach since starting in 2017. Prior to adopting OFM, he was a regular middle-of-the-pack runner who faced the energy swings and GI issues as he tackled longer distances. His nutrition was heavily carbohydrate and processed food-based, leaving him feeling drained. After hearing about fat adaptation and seeing other runners' success with it, he decided to start using Vespa and change his dietary approach. Shortly after meeting with Peter (Defty) in 2017 where they dialed Peter in,  his performance significantly improved, the energy and GI issues disappeared and Peter was able to consistently race stronger and stronger, often finishing on the podium and even winning races like the prestigious HURT 100 in 2022.   Peter's general eating philosophy centers on whole fresh foods like meats and vegetables. While he occasionally indulges, he feels the negative effects when he deviates from his usual diet. The conversation delves into the variability and individuality of the OFM approach, noting that while some, like Jeff Browning,  consume more protein and fruits, others find using more starches as their “Strategic Carb” yield better results.    Also discussed is the importance of gut health, especially on the development of a diverse biome for food tolerance, immune system health and overall well-being.  The conversation also touches on the post race emotional and mental aftermath, describing feelings of depression, which is more pronounced after longer races. The contrasting experiences between intense, prolonged endurance activity and the daily grind of life, including a sense of disconnect when returning to daily life. Circadian Rhythm and Sleep   The podcast discussion revolves around the importance of the circadian rhythm and how it impacts health, performance and well-being. Podcast Host, Peter Defty, emphasizes aligning wake-up time with sunrise, noting the significant benefits it has on entraining circadian rhythm. Peter's experience of completely upsetting his Circadian Rhythm at the Spine Race makes this abundantly clear.    The Benefits of a Optimizing Your Fat Metabolism   The dialogue transitions into discussing the more nuanced aspects of the OFM (Optimized Fat Metabolism) approach. While many associate OFM with a low-carb diet, it's clarified that the approach is more nuanced, taking into account aspects like chronic stressors, circadian rhythm, and vitamin D.   The focus then shifts to the benefits of the OFM approach in ultra-running. The approach has enabled some runners to achieve unprecedented fat-burning rates, allowing them to run longer distances more efficiently.    Peter's upcoming race, the Mogollon Monster, is this weekend (September 9&10th). After his race we plan to have him back to talk about the Lifestyle benefits he's seen through optimizing his fat metabolism. Stay tuned!

In today's podcast, our guest, Jesse Haynes, shares his remarkable Life  journey of balancing his career as a construction project manager, husband and ultramarathon trail runner at the elite level. Jesse's life has no shortage of daily challenges, ones which require him to access,adapt and act as part of the job. Naturally, OFM plays a key role, enabling him to stay at the top of his game in work, life and on the trail.   Most of all this podcast offers insights into how OFM can enhance your journey. Whether we realize it or not, everyone is entered in that one ultra-endurance event called Life and Jesse's commitment to a healthy lifestyle serves as both an inspiration and example for all of us. His experiences shed light on how to overcome the daily challenges faced by those in physically and mentally demanding jobs which often lead to bad habits and breakdown of both mind and body typically seen in construction. I know because in a former life I was in the same profession and position as Jesse.    Key Points:   Jesse works in construction as an on-site project manager. This requires him to ‘do it all' from planning and scheduling to setting grade and even hopping on a piece of equipment. It requires decision making and people skills ranging from working with his crew of operators to sub-contractors, inspectors and consultants.  In this high stress environment, construction work takes a toll on health due to long hours, an ‘on the go' diet often rife with processed foods, caffeine and nicotine and high-stress levels. Jesse offers an alternative path, one where the stress of the job makes him more confident and capable of handling Life's challenges. Even with the physical demands of his job, Jesse races at the elite level of ultra trail racing and recently achieved a second-place finish at the competitive Leona Divide 50 Miler at the age of 50. Like your own Life Journey Jesse shares how he transitioned from mountain biking to road cycling then finally developing a love for trail running.  Jesse talks about his partner Keira, how they met and the races she organizes and directs. Highlighted is her passion for getting people outdoors, promoting health, and creating accessible races for runners of all levels. Jesse's OFM transformation came on the heels of his close friend, Jeff Browning's, OFM transformation in 2016.  Jesse immediately noticed Jeff as  a leaner version of himself who went on to dominate his first Vespa powered race, the 2016 HURT 100 miler. Not only did Jeff win but both Jeff & Jesse were blown away by the recovery the very next day where Jeff was walking without a limp in his gait and had none of the severe edema (swelling) in his feet and legs that is considered normal after an ultra-endurance event.  Fat adaptation: Jesse discusses how adopting Vespa and OFM aligned with his natural eating habit as he never felt good consuming copious amounts of carbohydrates.He emphasizes getting plenty of fat and protein in his diet with just enough carbs to give him that performance edge.  Improved recovery and reduced calorie intake: the positive impact of Vespa and fat adaptation on his race performance and recovery. This includes experiencing shorter periods of soreness and being able to resume running within a few days, despite consuming fewer calories. The demanding job and its impact on training time: The various ‘Hats' Jesse wears daily, which highlight the demands of his job which is also coupled with a long commute. . . . the early morning wake-up and commute translate into time constraints for training during the workweek. While most of his training occurs on the weekend, stretching, intervals or strength training make up the workweek training…..that is, when he can.The take home: OFM allows Jesse to maintain a high level of fitness in spite of the constraints to his training. Incorporating Strength Training and Interval Training: Jesse talks about shifting his weekday training to focus on strength, stretching, and intervals to maximize time and improve performance. Balancing Time Commitments:  the challenge of balancing time between work, personal life, and running and the vital role OFM plays in facilitating Jesse to thrive in all aspects of Life. The importance of Hydration, especially Electrolyte Supplementation for performance level fat adaptation: Fluid and electrolyte intake are critical during training and racing. Jesse emphasizes this by discussing how he consumed 21 grams of Sodium/Salt during his recent 50 mile race and 2nd overall finish.  As you can see Jesse is no different than you . . . he prioritizes his health and performance through his adoption of OFM which provides the individual with all the tools they need to construct a sustainable Lifestyle in all aspects of Life so you can attain “Higher Health & Peak Performance”.....just like Jesse!

This week we are interviewing Vespa / OFM Ambassador Bree Lambert Sanders, who is a nutritionist and coach in the San Jose area. Bree who, at 54 years young, still competes at the elite level including winding up with an overall win or a place on the podium .     In this interview, Bree explains that she has always had a passion for fitness and nutrition. Her business, Live Well Finish Strong, focuses on nutrition and movement for business executives and athletes in Silicon Valley.  After several years of watching the consistent performance of fellow ultrarunners Bree made the switch from a high carbohydrate approach to using Vespa and adopting the OFM protocol. She shares her experience including how her performance, recovery and overall health/longevity have benefited in spite of being a “Woman of a certain age”. We also discuss the longevity aspects of making the switch to fat based fuel.    Bree discusses the benefits of being metabolically healthy in the podcast.   Here are some of the talking points:   How Vespa and OFM have helped Bree with performance and recovery. The combination of Vespa and the OFM protocol has been shown to help prevent cellular damage and aid recovery. How and why OFM Athletes like Jeff Browning are able to keep  doing something big every six weeks due to the rapid recovery of OFM and Vespa, which is actually due to the prevention of damage from burning glucose. Research from the Western States Study showed how fat-adapted athletes' cell wall fatty acid levels returned to pre-race levels within two days after Western States, while the conventional fueled athletes were still struggling to normalize a week after the event. How the effect of proper sun exposure is necessary to generate vitamin D, referencing Andrew Huberman who discusses the importance of rest, good nutrition, and sunlight to achieve wellness. Carbs and Calories - why people need calories, but they don't need as much as they think they do, especially if they're fat-adapted. Women are designed to be the ultimate fat burners. While they have more sensitive hunger triggers and store more fat easily, females have to be self-sufficient during late gestation, childbirth, and lactation. The effect of stress and how it can be just as detrimental to health as too many carbs in the diet. How being metabolically healthy makes people less prone to illnesses and chronic diseases as they don't have a compromised immunity system and metabolism.

We have the pleasure of talking to Jeff Browning today. Jeff grew up around sports in a very sports driven family, always doing stuff outside and just naturally came to love all kinds of sports, such as football, rock climbing, mountain biking, and many others. He always ran on the side and has come to really love running, doing a lot of trail running and triathlons now. Jeff is at a point now where he will do 100 mile runs, which has taken a whole lot of training, but he is now at the point where he is able to handle a lot of abuse from this kind of exercise. What got Jeff into running 2:17Jeff's training 11:45Different diets 20:40Predators and close encounters with animals 33:06Strength training 42:55Get in contact with Jeff 72:20“The backpacking trips we had taken would be like 20, 30 mile loops where you're doing 7-8 miles a day with a giant pack on, and it sucks. You have blisters and you're sore, and all of the sudden you could put like a couple pounds of water and a few gels in your pack and run that whole loop in a day. So that's what really attracted me to the sport in the first place is that background in endurance that I already had, kind of putting all those different disciplines together into one sport.” 10:46@gobroncobillygobroncobilly.com

This week Clint and Dawson sit down with Tara Dower. Tara shares her last 13 months which was amazing and very successful. Here is her list; attempted Benton MacKaye FKT in September of 2021. Injured myself badly. One month later I raced my first 100 miler called Uwharrie 100. Won for women. Raced my second 100 in Alabama called Blood Rock and came in 2nd overall behind Jeff Browning. Umstead 100 in April was my next 100 and placed 3rd women. Cruel Jewel was the next month in May and got 2nd woman. One month later went for the Benton MacKaye FKT again and smashed the overall record with sub 5 days. I think it was 4 days and 21 hrs and some change. Went on a little vacation to California a month later and finished backpacking the JMT. Started training for Run Rabbit and working hard to prepare for CO with different methods. The race went well and placed 2nd woman behind Annie Hughes with a huge 6 mile push at the end where I ran sub 8 minute miles and passed #2 woman. Whoa right?! also check out Tara's YouTube channel. What an amazing person. Thanks for listening! Find all our episodes at dayfirepodcast.com This podcast is powered by ZenCast.fm

It was an honor to spend time with Jeff Browning, known in the ultrarunning industry as bronco billy. He is a pioneer in the sport and has finished over 100 ultra marathons in his twenty-year career, with 25 career ultra wins (17 of those in 100 milers). A few weeks ago, he won the Moab 240-mile ultra at the age of 51. Jeff is also an endurance coach, ultra athlete, husband and father of three kids. In this conversation, we discussed mindset, how to control your emotions when things get challenging, the importance of constantly challenging ourselves, parenting, creativity, and longevity. It is so clear to me why he is a champion. He is a master at pushing his mind, body, and spirit within his craft. Most of us will never run a 100-mile race, but that doesn't mean we can't train our mindset like Jeff no matter where we are in life. Connect with Jeff at https://www.gobroncobilly.com/ Instagram: @gobroncobilly   This episode is brought to you by Age Is Your Edge book: A practical guide that includes strategies, tools and real-life relatable stories that help you discover purpose and develop a positive, resilient mindset during midlife. Pick up a copy here: scottpapek.com.   ABOUT THE BOOK Exploring our full potential is an ongoing process that takes place throughout our entire lives. Yet even though we know this truth deep inside, sometimes we use age or our current responsibilities as an excuse to stay in our comfort zones, even though deep down we're miserable. By changing our mindset, clarifying our purpose, and focusing on what we can do instead of what we can't, we can become empowered to courageously move toward our dream life and achieving our potential, one step at a time. In this concise manual, Scott Papek shares his personal and professional experiences and real-life stories to guide midlifers through a simple self-discovery process that shares introspective questions, details the four pillars of CARE, and explores mental skill strategies that open the heart and strengthen the mindset to embrace all the possibilities, no matter the age. Through his roadmap, midlifers will learn how to be comfortable in the uncomfortable, discover the importance of identifying strengths and core values, set appropriate, realistic goals, incorporate positive self-talk into every action every day, and overcome fear and distractions.

In the season 1 finale of the PRP, Adam connects with professional ultra-runner, eccentric omnivore, father of two and budding philanthropist Michael McKnight who has been preparing for the Across The Years 24 Hour on December 30th, 2021. Michael dives in and gets vulnerable from the jump as he shares some of the difficulty he encounters when trying to explain to others the entire scope of what his athletic pursuits entail. What's different about the race Michael is aiming to conquer? He will be attempting to run the entire thing while ingesting absolutely 0 calories along the way. Michael explains both the genesis of his curiosity about his diet and shares why his past relationship with food fuels his current diet fire; while also touching on the story of how a dear friend of his, Jeff Browning, introduced him to the keto game at the inception of their relationship. Sarah McKnight, avid cycler, crew chief extraordinaire and Michael's wife joins the show as guest host and offers some wonderfully raw insight into the world of supporting Mike through his extreme endeavors. Although she is thrilled that the keto lifestyle he has adopted has clearly enhanced his performance and overall wellness, there have definitely been some major learning curves along the way while supporting his diet while raising a family with two young children. Did Michael decide to start a strict keto diet on the exact same day his first child was born?! The three take a deep dive into some of the day-to-day difficulties involved when it comes to fasting windows and not eating carbs and admit that the nutrition piece of Michael's athletic package is likely the most difficult and inconvenient to manage. Michael shares some tremendous insight into the origins of the plan for this race and explains how it evolved from a low key solo endeavor to a big experiment with several contributors, analysts and scientists. He shares in depth detail into his teams plan to gather and analyze data from his body before, during and after the race. Mike is the first to raise his hand admit that the current keto data out there isn't super favorable and there is still loads of scientific unknowns about whether or not this kind of approach is good for the body. With so many people following his journey and supporting him, he feels that it is his responsibility do what he can to collect information about his techniques and share it with the world. Before wrapping, Michael shares some keen insight on how to approach Strava to serve your own purposes. What truth did Michael discover on an innocent day in Zion, UT?! What is Mike's powerful advice for those struggling with running? Why is Michael peeing in a cup multiple times during this race?! How many needles are involved in this whole shindig?! What personal FKT project does Michael currently have planned for October 2022?! All that, and so much more in this upbeat and unique episode of the PRP.
