Backyard Ultra Debrief #1: How I’d Train Differently
from Tribalcast Hosted by Ryan Dreyer
I just ran my first Backyard Ultra: 15 loops, 62.5 miles, and 100K at Prairie on Fire. In this episode, I break down exactly how I trained, what worked, and what I’d change if I were preparing for another one. We get into: Why I only averaged 27 miles/week The value of sandbags, strength work, and double-run days Why I’d add an 8–12 hour race to my next build Training the 11–12 minute mile Backyard simulations and run/walk strategies Why crew might matter more than additional fitness I also fueled Prairie on Fire with Maple Boost — real maple syrup + sea salt endurance fuel that I’m building alongside everything we’re doing at Tribal. 🍁 Maple Boost → usemapleboost.com 🪓 Train with Tribal → traintribal.com
