Backyard Yard Ultra Highlights from Vigo Rugby Club by @hellfire.events.official #seagullrunning #trailrunning #dowhatyoulove #ultrarunning #training #running #challenge #endurance #backyardultra #ukultras #hellfireevents #vigobackyardultra

27 miles all over.. 6 weeks to BPN Backyard Ultra! Today’s adventure took me on trails with my friend Brandon who was simulating a Backyard Ultra. Also, an off trail Barkley style portion where I discovered this old school bus, and some road sections connecting my home. These are some of my top suggestions for your best Backyard Ultra! 1) Have a strong crew person and prep your gear, food, tent, apparel, etc. 2) Pace yourself. Hills basically always walk, jog and imagine going forever. Lap times vary depending on the course but for Bigs Backyard my trail loops are probably 52 min. and nighttime loops on the road 48-50 min. for at least the first 2-3 days. Then I go slower. Going slower than 55 to 55:30 minute yards is harder to maintain forever. 3) Practice sleeping for 3-5 minutes even if you don’t fall asleep. 4) Nutrition and hydration are vital. You must be consistent. Miss an hour and it may be your downfall. I typically aim for 300 or more calories per hour. 5) To make the 15 person USA Team for the World Championship in October at Laz’s race - Bigs Backyard, you need to win one of the seven qualifying races, or be amongst the top eight in the country for furthest distance covered in a Backyard Ultra.

Over 100 KM in my 1st Backyard Ultra You can literally see my will to live slowly fade 🥲 When asked to record the after clip, I politely (rudely) declined 🤝 #running #ultramarathon #racerecap #backyardultra #marathon #fitness

Running my first 120km broke me. However, I also learnt a lot: 1. It’s always you vs. you. 2. Quitting starts in your mind, not your body. 3. Setting goals make the pain manageable. ⏱️ 13:48:45 running ⏸️ 15:46:00 total time including breaks This is only the beginning. This year I will do my first Ironman and run a Backyard Ultra. Subscribe to follow my journey. This video (should be) sponsored by: @redbull @garmin Thanks to @ardasaatci @amglaze @davidgoggins for your inspiration. #runner #running #marathon #ultramarathon

Why backyard ultras might be the perfect intro to ultra running. Cheers Claude for the summary 👇 1. Self-paced by design — It’s a 6.7km loop, so you run, then sit down, eat, recover, and go again. 2. No painful early start — Midday kickoff means no 4am alarm. You can eat properly, pack at your own pace, and arrive feeling set up rather than rushed. 3. Food everywhere — There’s an aid station at the start with a solid range of food. Still bring your own, but you won’t be stuck for fuel. 4. It’s safe — Medical help is right there at the start. You’re never far from support, unlike point-to-point ultras out in the mountains. 5. It’s social — You start every single lap with everyone else. You’re never out there alone, always chatting, always with the pack.
