Can you keep going when everything in you wants to stop?
Every hour. On the hour. Until there’s only one left standing. Backyard ultras aren’t just races — they’re a test of patience, grit, and the willingness to go one more hour when everything in you says stop.
Welcome to One More Hour: An Insider’s Guide to Backyard Ultras, Timed Races, and the Ultra Running Mindset.
If you’re a backyard ultra runner, a runner curious about the format or about the ultra running mindset, or someone who just loves testing your limits — this podcast is for you.
I’m Jaci Wilson, an ultramarathon and marathon run coach, trail runner, outdoor enthusiast, and backyard ultra expert.
Each week, I’ll bring you conversations with runners, race directors, and experts — from sports psychologists on pushing past mental walls, to sleep specialists on fighting fatigue, to dietitians on fueling through endless hours. You’ll hear raw stories from athletes who’ve been there, plus practical tips you can use in your own training and races.
If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to thrive in the backyard format — or you’re just fascinated by what happens when the miles never stop — hit follow wherever you listen to podcasts.
This is One More Hour. Let’s get started with just one more.
