#45 Nick’s 100K Adventure: Preparation, Perseverance, and Recovery

The Imposter Podcast AU

Ever wondered what it’s like to push your body and mind to the absolute limit? Well, in this episode, Burso sits down with Nick The Runner, fresh off the back of completing a 100km ultra marathon, and let me tell you, it’s a wild ride. From blistered feet and sleepless nights to mid-race moments where he questioned his sanity (and his ability to keep going), Nick gives us the raw, unfiltered truth about what it takes to tackle a race most of us would avoid at all costs.

There’s no sugarcoating here—this is about as real as it gets. Nick dives deep into the pain, the self-doubt, and the unexpected emotional moments, like when his two-year-old son cheered him on from the sidelines, nearly reducing him to tears. Along the way, we hear about the bloody struggle to stay hydrated, the bizarre sensation of losing toenails, and how his body started to shut down as soon as he crossed the finish line. And if you’ve ever wondered what happens when your wee looks like Coca-Cola after a 70K run... well, you’re about to find out.

But this episode isn’t just about the physical grind—it's a story of mental resilience, mateship, and the strange sense of satisfaction that comes from doing something completely mad. Whether you’re a runner or just someone who loves a good yarn about overcoming adversity, this episode will make you laugh, cringe, and maybe even feel a bit inspired to take on your own challenge. So grab a beer, get comfortable, and dive into Nick’s ultra marathon madness.
