I’m attempting to run 100 miles at the Mackyard Backyard Ultra - so I sat down with Jordan Stanton to figure out exactly what I’m getting myself into.
We break down the strange world of Backyard Ultras: running 6.7km every hour, on the hour, until you can’t go again.
We talk pacing, fuelling, sleep deprivation, what to do between loops, why people quit, and what happens mentally when the bell rings and you genuinely don’t want to go back out.
Most importantly, I ask Jordan what he thinks I need to get right if I’m going to make it through roughly 24 hours and 100 miles.
Mackyard Backyard Ultra. October 3. 100 miles. Let’s see what happens.
