ABOUT THIS EPISODE
2nd place at the Tor des Glaciers 450k.
But that’s only part of Brian Mullins’ story.
In this conversation:
- A childhood spent hiking and discovering the outdoors
- Alpinism and learning the mountains the hard way
- 20 years of racing the world’s biggest ultras
- Training and mindset for multi-day events
- Living and racing as a type 1 diabetic
- Why the spirit of adventure still drives him
Brian is more than an ultra-runner. He’s a true adventurer, and his perspective on racing, training and life in the mountains is one of the most fascinating I’ve come across.
📌 Weekly ultra-trail podcasts: races, athletes, gear, and stories from the mountains.
