When Luke Tyburski’s dream to play professional soccer on the world stage disintegrated after a series of debilitating injuries, he had no backup plan. His career and everything he’d worked for was over.

He reinvented himself as an ultra-endurance adventurer and discovered his superhuman ability to withstand extraordinary conditions and excruciating pain. From the searing heat of the Sahara Desert to a typhoon-ravaged remote island, Luke’s drive to constantly test his limits stunned his family, friends and fellow athletes. Then came the Ultimate Triathlon - a solo 12-day, 2000-kilometer triathlon across multiple countries that most considered impossible. But, it’s the remarkable secret behind Luke’s reinvention that sets this story apart.

For years, Luke concealed a diagnosis of clinical depression and his determination to overcome the private torment of his illness is as inspiring as it is heartbreaking. Through it all, he clings to his lifelong motto - to never, ever give up, pushing himself to breaking point, emotionally and physically, then rebuilding himself, over and over again.

For the first time, Luke shares how he persevered through some of his darkest moments and how close he came to paying the ultimate price. His story Chasing Extreme is raw, honest, and simply unforgettable.

I listened to this after watching The Ultimate Triathlon. At the surface it’s a great account of some epic challenges and quests. I had no idea how embattled with mental health Luke has been throughout the years. The way he describes his darkest times is raw, honest and brave. This book is really about Luke’s quest of self discovery and realisation.
Great listen! Well done Luke you HERO!

Moving, grounding and inspiring!

In this world of people outwardly "living their best life" on social media, it's incredibly refreshing to hear Luke talk candidly about the behind the scenes realities of internal battles that even the most inspiring of endurance athletes have to deal with. So many practical take-home tools and strategies for us all to use in our own endeavours.

Raw, honest and refreshing

What I like most about this audio book is the conversational pieces at the end of each chapter, where you get the reflections and more matured insights. You kind of feel like you are getting to know him.
Luke does some amazing things, and inspired me on more than one tough turbo set. At the same time he is an example of what not to do to your body! I think he knows that now….but I wouldn’t bet the farm on him not doing some of that again!
In 2022 he will do an awesome effort in aid of mental well-being awareness…look out for that and support it!
