    I’ve entered my first ever BYU in Coffs Harbour later this year. The podcast is helping this newbie learn some tips and tricks from Patto and some awesome guests. Very entertaining and informative. 5 yards, I mean 5 stars.

  • On my saved list

    Got into BY Ultras last year. This podcast is mentioned in “There is no finish” by Stephen Parker, and I’m really pleased I found it. I don’t know the interviewer, but he has a great style, and really digs down in his questioning to get the best out of his guests.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Team Costa Rica 2026
Q: How did you put a call out for runners to apply? Or did you approach the runners? Or how did you build the team?
After confirming with Backyard Ultra organizers that he could select a team without national rankings or qualification standards, he sought recommendations from a well-connected local ultrarunning friend. He contacted suggested runners and asked unavailable candidates for further referrals.
Team Costa Rica 2026
Q: Did you design the course as well?
Yes. He chose a private coffee farm because the area is hilly, then arranged several sections and turns to complete the required 6.7-kilometer loop. The course has about 84 meters of elevation gain and no asphalt.
Tim Walsh - DCG/LSU
Q: Will LSU be a transition from breaking world records to entertainment and viewer engagement?
Tim believes LSU is about high-quality live streams and entertainment value, likening the production to televised sports and suggesting the format emphasizes engagement and story rather than just totals.
Tim Walsh - DCG/LSU
Q: Is there any prize money or travel support for Germany if players qualify?
Tim indicates it's unclear at the moment and depends on LSU's decisions as part of the collaboration, with likely future clarifications after meetings; the focus appears to be on broader opportunities and exposure rather than prize money alone.
Lee Warren
Q: What lifestyle changes supported your performance in 2026?
Incorporated daily exercises when not running, emphasized rest and recovery, and used a detailed nutrition and gear plan to handle heat and fatigue.
