Description

Chasing Tomorrow show hosts Dave Proctor and Joe Gagnon interview Torbjörn Gyllenbring (aka Toby).  Toby is an emerging star on the global ultra running stage and is specializing in the "Backyard" last person standing races.  Toby just completed the global Bigs Backyard event coming in first in Sweden.  A self-proclaimed late starter, Toby did not start running till 2007 and found a 10 k difficult.  You might say he found religion in the ultra world and he is finding out some deep life lessons on his running journey.  After listening to his reasons for doing ultras and what he finds out it would not be surprising to find any and all of us more interested in the sport.

Show Highlights:

• Toby is clear about his reasons for running ultras and specializing in the backyard format
• Toby has run 147 miles in 24 hours and wants to push to a new level in his next 24-hour race
• Learning to accept yourself is a key aspect of succeeding in the back yard format and Toby is all over this as he seeks to improve his own perspective on life and his purpose
