Luke's Lowdown Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

On this final episode of the series, Luke chats with Australian Backyard Ultra Champion Chris Murphy. 

Chris' story into running isn't one you usually hear, and it's inspirational for anyone who is looking to become fitter, healthier, and even run longer...

What excites 'Murphs' these days in the running world, is the relatively new format of the Backyard Ultra's.
These brutal events are described throughout the episode, including Chris's shock win, competing at the World Championships for Australia, and how these days, Backyard Ultra's are more like team events with competitors working together, instead of against one another.

If you want your mind to be opened up to a new level in the world of running (and even life in general) then tune in, and get ready for the wise words of Chris Murphy.  

Ellie Greenwood is someone you would cheer for, no matter who you were at a race to support. She runs because she simply likes to run, and was won Marathons & some of the world's biggest and most prestigious ultra-marathons, not by trying to beat her competitors, but 'simply' because Ellie likes to run - fast!

A back to back Western States champion (and still course record holder), 2 x 100km World Champion, and first British woman to win the Comrades Marathon in South Africa, Ellie's running career wasn't all smooth sailing though.
Missing nearly an entire year due to injury at the peak of her career, we dive into how she remained relaxed during this time, and her ability to enjoy situations in races (and in life) where others may see them as overwhelming.

What is it like cycling to the top of Mount Everest and then running 800 kilometres in 31 days?

In this episode of the Luke's Lowdown Podcast, Luke talks about his vEveresting experience, and then with only 1 single day of rest, taking on the 800 kilometre Calendar Club in August 2020.

He also shares another lesson he learnt during lockdown, understanding where you put your focus alongside your attention when looking to achieve something in your life (no matter what is going on around you...)
