This week we catch up with Ned Phillips to discuss the Singapore edition of the Backyard Ultra Team World Championships. Thiis event saw another world record go down with the Belgium team putting in 110 yards, over 730km of running and the top 3 of Geerts, Steyaert and Gielen finishing together with none of them DNFing. An endurance feet of the ages!
Whilsts Ned’s effort was not at the same scale, it was done in far more challenging conditions with the Singapore humidity and if given the chance with the right assist, Ned could have been out there double the time and will get the opportunity to truly test himself against the world best in Tennessee at the World Champs next year..
We cover:
• Ned’s background with Backyard Ultra, this being his 4th attempt.
• What attracts him to Backyard Ultra
• The 2024 SG team and his expectations going on
• Plan on pacing, nutrition, support crew
• BIGS in Tennessee next year?
We also discuss the other Nedd, Brockmann who just put in as fantastic effort on a Guinness World Record attempt of 1000 miles, completing it in 12 day and missing out on the record but finishing with debilitating ailments.
