Are you one of those runners who started off absolutely hating the sport?

Jeremy Miller is an athlete and content creator based in Austin, TX. He has completed several marathons and ultras with a 2:44 marathon personal best.

Jeremy is also known for his unique athletic feats, like running a sub-5-minute mile and deadlifting 500 pounds on the same day, and running a 62-mile race around a one-mile loop in a parking lot.

He’s also the co-founder of Switchback, a running nutrition brand.
