At just 22 years old, Nicholas Steel is attempting to become the youngest person to complete sixteen 100-mile races in a single year—all while working full-time. In this episode, Nicholas shares what drives him to chase such an audacious goal, from his first marathon a little over a year ago to a solo Backyard Ultra and beyond. He opens up about the mental resilience it takes to keep showing up, the role of community and technology in his training, and how he balances recovery, work, and high-mileage weeks. With a “golden retriever mindset” and a deep love for nature, Nicholas reflects on the joys and challenges of ultra-running. He also offers practical advice on gear, chafing, training surfaces, and pushing through failure. Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just getting started, Nicholas’s story is a refreshing reminder of what’s possible with passion and grit.
