    1:10:05 “it’s okay, I’ll take him to the win”. Most beautiful moment when you realize he’s not pushing to win anymore, he’s pushing to help another competitor reach their goal.

      Yes! This moment really got me. Really showed his heart as a competitor, knowing he was ill and kept pushing so Phil could get the record.

    Man, when Ollie was having a tough time and his pops told him he’s proud no matter what. That’s a strong father-son bond. Love to see it

    This was the sickest thing I ever seen. I never seen a human being totally empty like this in the tank. wow I am stunned, I am in love. I don't know what to say I just want to start to run and never stop.

    I knew this race was epic! But this documentary absolutely captured all the feelings. I felt like I was experiencing the various journeys of the runners along the way. So, so, sooo good!

    I was watching this live from my corner of Canada, tuning in every hour for ~10 minutes each lap once it was about 60.
    I remember feeling very wrung out as each incredible runner bowed out until it was Phil, Sam, and Harvey. Then I was just waiting, biting my nails.
    The last couple laps where Sam was just hurting was tough - I know what pneumonia is like, and I can’t imagine how deep he had to dig for those last few yards.
    Then at the start of 102, when he got into racer’s stance, I knew this was it. I have to admit there were some serious tears.
    This documentary brought every emotion back, all of them. It was also great to see the early victories of folks who came for PBs not last one standing.
    That’s the real heart of the Backyard. The early ones who leave it all out there but have a new best ever then the last one standing - they all proved something. Running changes a person, at their core. And those of us privileged enough to witness it are also changed for the better.
    Kudos for wringing out so many tears.

    There are some amazing Ultra documentaries on UA-cam and I’ve watched many of them, some more than once…but this one has the edge over all of them. Just wow. Thank you so much and total respect and admiration for everyone runner and those who supported them and brought this documentary to our screens 🙏🏻💙

    Sam Harvey is a KILLER ! Can not wait for Bigs. This event is what sucked me into Backyard ultras. The Harvey Show ! Also, Phil Gore obviously a maniac.

    • @ceheck
      @ceheck 7 місяців тому +1

      I‘ve already come back repeatedly to this doc which is more like a full movie on its own. And whenever I come back, the first thing that comes to my mind is „Sam Harvey is a KILLER !“ He absolutely is. Pure inspiration!

    Ollie did Fantastic! what an amazing kid to achieve that at 14, His mum and dad must be so proud! when i was 14 i was playing call of duty and pulling my pecker LOL, to have that level of discipline and determination at such a young age is a special thing, well done to everyone who competed! so inspiring!

    I've been practicing for a 40+ day fast to cause a natural release of my DMT. Harvey was able to do it in 4 days. His euphoric visions in the woods was an authentic "near death experience". Changed his life forever and he goes on to break the record with 108 yards at the Big Dogs Ultra in Nov 2023. Beyond Inspired. I'm heading out for a run.

    I discovered ultrarunning last year, even though I'm ultrarunning yet. Im growing in the sport, step by step. Ok this magnificent doc I could really see why running is an extraordinary sport. This doc is showing only 50% of what running is. The other 50% are inside their hearts, their souls and the experience had within them. Congratulations on this amazing production. All participants are extraordinary.
