Episode 32 - More Miles Backyard Ultra Recap

Every hour, on the hour, a whistle blows, a group of runners heads out to complete a 4.167-mile loop, and the clock resets. To the outside observer, a Backyard Ultra like the More Miles Last One Standing Challenge seems straightforward: you just keep going until you can't. But behind that simple loop lies a complex web of logistics, mental warfare, and physical demands. In this episode, Katie is pulling back the curtain on the backyard format by chatting with two people who experience it from entirely different perspectives: Adam shares his experience as the Race Director steering the ship, and Chris talks about getting back into the starting corral loop after loop. If you have ever been curious about the backyard format, wondered what it takes to organize a multi-day sufferfest, or wanted to know how to trick your brain into running "just one more yard," this dual-perspective masterclass is for you.
