The Freetrail Podcast with Dylan Bowman

Jeff Browning is an ultrarunning legend living in Flagstaff, AZ. He is one of the all-time winningest 100 mile racers and, at 53 years old, still competes at the highest level in the sport. This coming Sunday, Jeff will begin what he characterizes as the project of a lifetime -- an FKT attempt on the Colorado Trail. We talk about the preparation for the attempt and Jeff's motivation for the project. We also talk about Jeff's races at Cocodona 250 and High Lonesome 100.  Donate to Warrior Trail Foundation in Jeff's Honor Colorado Trail FKT Kyle Curtin's Strava File Sponsors: Join our Nutrition Club with The Feed and get $80 to spend on nutrition Use code freetrail10 for 10% off Speedland Footwear Grab a trail running pack from Osprey Use code FT15 for 15% off Gnarly Nutrition Go to ketone.com/freetrail30 for 30% off a subscription of Ketone IQ Freetrail Links: Website | Freetrail Pro | Patreon | Instagram | YouTube | Freetrail Experts   Dylan Links: Instagram | Twitter | LinkedIn | Strava   ________________________   Other Freetrail podcast episodes you might enjoy: Courtney Dauwalter | Hardrock 100 Post-Race Interview Jasmin Paris | Barkley Marathon Finisher Jim Walmsley | UTMB Post-Race Interview Also, please check out our other podcast, Second Nature: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/second-nature/id1737242598

Today we are joined by David Roche and Dr. Megan Roche for a fun and wide ranging conversation. David and Megan are top athletes, coaches, and co-hosts of the Some Work All Play podcast -- one of the most popular shows in running. We center the conversation around the state of trail running, sports science, and why it seems like everyone is getting significantly faster in the modern era. We also spend time talking about David and Megan's family life and athletic life, David's upcoming race at the Leadville 100, Megan's role as Co-Medical Research Director for the Western States 100, and parenthood as they prepare to welcome their second child.    Sponsors: Join our Nutrition Club with The Feed and get $80 to spend on nutrition Use code freetrail10 for 10% off Speedland Footwear Grab a trail running pack from Osprey Use code FT15 for 15% off Gnarly Nutrition Go to ketone.com/freetrail30 for 30% off a subscription of Ketone IQ Freetrail Links: Website | Freetrail Pro | Patreon | Instagram | YouTube | Freetrail Experts   Dylan Links: Instagram | Twitter | LinkedIn | Strava   ________________________ Other Freetrail podcast episodes you might enjoy:   Courtney Dauwalter | Hardrock 100 Post-Race Interview   Jasmin Paris | Barkley Marathon Finisher   Jim Walmsley | UTMB Post-Race Interview   Also, please check out our other podcast, Second Nature: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/second-nature/id1737242598
