Ski mountaineering is officially coming to the Olympics, and if you’ve never watched skimo before, this episode is your crash course.
I’m joined by Max Valverde, former U.S. skimo athlete and NBC Olympic commentator, to break down how the sport work... more
In 1988, before the 100-mile version existed, before the conch shell start became legend, before the documentaries and global fame, one man proved the Barkley Marathons could be finished.
Frozen Ed was the first person to ever finish the Barkley. No... more
The Barkley Marathons is designed to sit right on the edge of possible. Sixty hours. Five loops. Nearly all off trail. No GPS. No course markings. Books hidden in the woods. A cigarette lights the start.
In 2021, I stepped onto the course and heard ... more

I love how real Jeff is! I appreciate how he’s honest about feeling awkward but embraces it and invites others to come along for the ride. I just want to be his friend 😊
Thanks Jeff! As another Montanan it’s nice to hear semi local stuff as well as the bigger stuff. Super positive and a nice contrast to the serious runners. Super cool to have one of the best keeping it fun! Stay weird homie
Love to real life stories and adventures that Jeff shares. I especially like his openness about going to therapy and struggles with mental health and earning a living while doing what he loves!
I love this podcast. Great mix of trail running tips, interviews with great trail-loving guests as well as hitting a sweet spot between that not-so-defined boundary between trail running and thru-hiking. Jeff just does the thing. He loves to talk about the thing but mostly he’s out there doing it! Inspiring, educative and funny as all get out! The Jeffisodes take the cake. I’m caught between voting for Jeff Browning or Jeff Galloway for The Best of Jeff’s.
A must-listen if you want to explore the unfolding journey of an incredibly funny, clever, and unparalleled creative/athlete/coach/podcaster/race director/spokesjeff/accountant as he crafts an unconventional career that is true to his values. He doesn’t shy away from sharing the challenges and low moments, which imbue his achievements at the pinnacle of human endurance with spectacular emotional resonance for his legions of viewers and listeners. At a minimum you’ll laugh lots, learn about all ... more
