Browning shares his insights on ultrarunning nutrition, including his experience with the optimized fat metabolism (OFM) diet and how it has played a role in his performance and overall health. He also discusses his involvement with Patagonia and Altra as sponsors and the marketing aspect of being a professional runner.
