When you put the word "ultra" in front of anything, you know that you're talking about something on an extreme scale.  Andrew Hedgman is an ultramarathon athlete who competes in races of 100+ kilometres.  These races can either take place on 1 day or across multiple days (multi-stage races) and on top of that they vary from road runs to trail running through some pretty picturesque landscapes.  We go through some of his achievements to date, plus his stories of travelling the world to compete in different races.  SPOILER: the locations are amazing!  Hear how he prepares, trains and tackles these extreme physical performances and hear how he ran top to bottom of New Zealand......yep, top to bottom!  To  keep up to date with Andy follow him on Instagram at:

The Back Yourself Podcast revolves around mindset and mentality. Finding out what makes people tick, how they deal with the situations that life throws them, how they treat themselves, what they do for themselves but most importantly WHY. Guests we have are a combination of other fitness trainers in different fields, small business owners and healthcare professionals. I also touch on topics that I see people struggle with in the gym or topics that I have dealt with myself. The Back Yourself Podcast will NOT tell you what you need to do but it will hopefully start the conversation for you.
