A conversation recorded just days after one of the most remarkable Backyard Ultra debuts Australia has seen.
After running for 68 straight hours in his first ever Backyard Ultra, Brady Nankervis sits down to unpack the full reality of the event, the emotional breakdowns, the moments he wanted to quit, the people who kept him going, and the mental battle that slowly became bigger than the physical one.
Rather than just revisiting the result, this episode explores what actually happens to someone during four days of sleep deprivation, repetition, pressure, and isolation.
Brady explores:
◼️ The darkest moments of the race and wanting to quit for over 30 hours.
◼️ The emotional weight of not wanting to let his crew down.
◼️ Hallucinations, sleep deprivation, and the psychology of Backyard Ultras.
◼️ His full race setup, fuelling, caffeine and sleep strategy.
◼️ Why he believes he can eventually compete with the best in the world.
This isn’t a polished race recap.
It’s the raw emotional aftermath of someone discovering where their actual limit is.
