Episode Synopsis

Joining me this week will be Jacob Mooney who won the SRC Backard Ultra on Long Island. A Backyard Ultra is a race where runners run a 4.16 mile loop with the only goal of being under 1 Hour. They continue to run 1 loop every hour on the hour until there is only one person standing. This race has no finish line. It has no end time. Quit or get timed out. The world championships have gone for DAYS!
We both threw at the race. But the best man won. And it wasn't me!
Jacob beat over 190 people to take the title. Learn all about his day and what it takes to win a backyard ultra as well as both of our journey to running the canyons endurance run in April
