    I can't put into words how much I'm loving these episodes. So excited for my first BYU in late April here in BC, Canada. And the outtakes are beyond hilarious.

    These are awesome. I think it would be fine though to just let it run, warts n all. I really want to try a Backyard Ultra, and hope to get more inside info from yall, so please keep em comin.

    Thank you so much for these videos, you guys, they're awesome, outtakes and all. Signed up for my first Backyard a while ago, and it's in a week's time, and I don't feel ready at all, and I'm completely panicking :D but listening to Harvey in podcasts and discovering this YT channel just turns all that fear into joy and excitement.

    Hey guys! Love this new format! I’m a race director for Flag City Backyard ultra in Findlay Ohio. We get a lot of questions about how to setup your watch for a Backyard Ultra. I have my own setup but I know a lot of other runners do it differently. Eg intervals or laps. Do you swap watches, charge along the way or use something with a large battery. Would love to hear about your setup! Looking forward to see Harvey make 18 at Barkley!

    Really enjoyed this video, watched it awhile back and got to run with Harvey at Great Seal, Feb 10th, with a large group of IRC runners. He motivated me to sign up for my first backyard ultra, #OBU. I got 2 other friends to join me as we ran a lot of miles in January for the #SEOTR Winter Challenge. I ran 75 miles. My longest race prior was a 50K trail race. I really enjoyed all of the helpful OBU advice from Harvey on the run. Still working on my spirit animal.

    I watched big's live stream for some hours. Honestly, I didn't think you would win until loop 105. The live stream will not give you the whole picture, but then Ihor suddenly looked almost done. Nice to see, that you choosed a picture with him. Hopefully your channel will grow fast.

    I find that the POOP LOOP usually kicks in around a mile into the yard. This leaves no option but to floor it and get back to camp!!!

    I think going nr 2 is the most stressful. When will it happen? I try to go before it's urgent... Don't wanna run with the runs 😊

    I think our local byu puts the poopstations away from the course... But I'm gonna check next time and maybe try your tip of going right at the start of a lap 😆
