790kms straight. Running for 6 days. 118 laps of the Backyard Ultra (6.7km) circuit. Anyway way you look at it, the numbers are earth shattering.  This week I got the chance to sit down with the great Sam Harvey. Sam has been described as an ultra running savage but I actually found him to be a scholar and above all else, a professional. The insight I got into draining every last ounce of your mortal potential was outstanding.  We get some very intimate details of Sam's physical exploits at Dead Cow Gully and the mental game required to be top of the ultra running mountain. Sam's singular focus to be the best in the World is so inspiring and his approach is so well considered that you are sure to upskill your running game by just listening in! Enjoy!
