Description

This week, we've got a Hedry's Frontyard Ultra special episode. We were invited to the event to conduct interviews with runners as they tapped out and rung the bell. 

PLUS we interview event creator Shaun Kaesler about how it started and where it's going. Together we talk about:

  • His history as a runner - turns out he was pretty zoomy
  • Quitting his day job as a concreter and betting it all on Ultra Series
  • The history of the backyard ultra style of event
  • How Herdy's has become the biggest event of this style in the world
  • Why Australian's seem to love the format more than any other country

But first, we CRAP on about:

  • Shannon's perfect week of training
  • A Hayden special - run club, rugby, and parkrun
  • Why Simon from WARP seems to hate us
  • Fan of the Week - Pub Runners
