This week, Matt takes you inside one of the toughest days of his life — a full race recap of the Kosci100, a brutal 100km ultra marathon through the Snowy Mountains. From throwing up on the climbs, to losing his vision at 95km, to stumbling across the line in 17 hours — this is what running 100km actually feels like.
He shares what went wrong, what held together, and the one decision that saved his race. Georgia asks all the questions and tries to figure out if Matt’s going to do it all again (spoiler: he is).
