⭐⭐ One of the Most Impressive Backyard Ultra Performances of the Year | TRJ #177 w/ Nick Burmey

Nick Burmey joins The Running Journey after putting together one of the most impressive backyard ultra performances of the year: 55 hours, roughly 368 KM, and a win at Old Tom's Backyard Ultra.

We get into what it actually takes to survive and win a race like this, Nick's running background, his approach to Old Tom, what his training looks like, how he handled the heat, the first night, pacing, shoes, the mental process, and what happens when the field gets whittled down to the final two runners.

We also talk about the final yard at loop 55, how recovery has been going, and the big question: how much longer could he have gone?

A ridiculous performance, and a great conversation with someone who clearly knows how to suffer.

Enjoy!
