[MichaelRJKidd]

how can anyone dislike??

[campbpar]

3:15 'I didn't even notice it'

That's why this guy's my fuckin hero.

I'm wanting to do ultras eventually. I'm doing up to 12-15 miles now.

Whenever I feel tired or whatever, I watch videos of this guy for motivation.

[jnielsen65]

I read an article on him a year ago, and it mentioned that prior to getting into ultradistance, he weighed 300 pounds (powerlifting) when he walked into a Navy recruiter wanting to become a SEAL. The recruiter told him to come back when he weighed 200. Two or three months later, he shows up back at the recruiters office after dropping 100 pounds. The man is the perfect breathing/walking specimen of mental focus. He gives the rest of us mortals permission that anything IS possible.

[Circusmnkee]

This is just amazing! The funny thing is, of course he looks like a superman, but there are other ultra-marathoners who look like normal people. They say anyone can learn to do it, run long distances I mean. If I run for 30 minutes that is an accomplishment for me!

[sekytwo]

lol no kidding hu.. i was like 30 hours.. is this possible ha ha

[cellardoor199991]

it's easier to look normal and do this rather than carry like 30 lbs of muscle for hours.

[martythamoose]

onnce i heard "30 hours" i fainted

[SEALHopeful28]

Yeah he runs 48 hours straight on a track. No sleep. he amazes me so much

Awesome....

=> What did you think about the heat?

-- I didnt notice it.

=> How did you deal with your blisters?

-- I just sucked it up!

=> How do you feel? --- Good.

Hahahahahaa thats so sweet.

[cellardoor199991]

actually he got injured so they made him do it over.

[chilledkirby]

He didn't get injured on this.

He got injured on his 101 mile thing.

He had to walk from 75 to 101, because he was having a kidney failure but he didn't know it.

When he got home, he was peeing blood.

[cellardoor199991]

I know that. it was a qual. His lecture used to be on youtube.

[redshaftedflicker]

GOGGINS RULES!

[kingchad2323]

this guy is incredible. I heard him speak at a seminar..unbelievable motivator.

[MrFrankBullitt]

@kingchad2323 What seminar was that? I'd like to find out how to attend something like that.

[nephewthatruns]

Someone told me about Goggins... said his preparation is insane. He wouldn't be satisfied with anything but first place-- David Goggins is the EPITOME of endurance sports.

[mikemihalis9]

this guy went from 260 lbs to 180 lbs in less than three months

[justsmit]

Those shoes must be toast. I wonder if David chose to replace them once or twice during the race?

Congrats dude.

[BrazilGoleiro]

Superior humans reaching out to their very souls.

[retrach]

this guy is definately the real deal trust me

[smithcop]
