Chasing Extreme

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.
