Jivee Tolentino On The Backyard Ultra

Ep-071 of the podcast is now live and available for download on all platforms! In today’s episode, I talk with Jivee Tolentino, a Filipino-born athlete with Irish citizenship who has made waves in the world of ultra-endurance running. Jivee is the Irish record holder and national champion in the Backyard Ultra, one of the most grueling race formats in existence. We dive into Jivee’s journey into ultra running, his mindset and strategy for tackling endless loops, and what it takes to keep pushing when the body and mind beg to stop. With the Backyard Ultra World Championship just around the corner this October in Tennessee, Jivee shares how he’s preparing to represent Ireland on the global stage. This conversation is packed with insights on resilience, discipline, and the sheer willpower required to go beyond perceived limits. . Jivee’s go fund me page - https://gofund.me/bb43fc1d
