This week, we’re catching back up with Bryony Keys after her incredible performance at the BPN Backyard Ultra, where she became the last female standing and finished in the top 10 overall after running for 37 hours straight and covering 155miles.
Bryony takes us behind the scenes of one of the toughest endurance race formats in the world, sharing what it really takes to keep going hour after hour when sleep deprivation, fatigue and mental battles start to hit.
We chat about:
- How she prepared for a Backyard Ultra after her previous ankle injury
- Why her training looked very different to what most people expected
- The mindset shifts that helped her keep going for 37 hours
- Pacing, fuelling and recovery between laps
- The mental side of ultra endurance racing and managing the highs and lows
- Why consistency and simplicity mattered most in training
This episode is packed with honest insights into endurance, resilience and learning how to stay in the fight when things get hard.
