david goggins is a REAL athlete

Endurance (also called sufferance) is the ability for an animal to exert itself for a long period of time. In humans, it is usually used in aerobic or anaerobic exercise. The definition of 'long' varies according to the type of exertion - minutes for high intensity anaerobic exercise, hours or days for low intensity. Training for endurance can have a negative impact on the ability to exert strength unless an individual also undertakes resistance training to counteract this effect.[1]

I just talked to David today in Georgia. He is absolutly amazing. This man will do absolutly anything. He told us about his the hole he has in his heart. On the 31 he's going back to the doctor to see if the hole is gone. After surgery you're supposed to wait 6 months before you do anything straining. 2 months after his surgery he did a 250 mile bike race. He is amazing!

i dont think this dude cares much about how healthy it is he does this to help people the way i see it if i was in his shoes my fellow SEALs have given their life for this country ill put in a couple thousand miles in to help out in some way the whole living and surviving deal survival spirit is what gets us through life what takes us to see new things and explore everything out there you cant live life if you dont survive illness and everything else life puts ahead of you sirviving is living

there actually is nothing healthy about running Ultras. Joints are fine, but soft tissue like GI tract doesn't deal well with pretty much anything over 100k or so, depending on conditions. Then again, life itself is a terminal disease.

Anyone else notice, it says 110 miles @ 22h 10m, but next it says 113 miles @ 21h 11m

yeah i noticed that too, weird aint it?

Have fun with your arthritis later in life.

they actually came out with a study that said that runners are less likely to get severe arthritis than non runners

Have fun with your cancer, or arthritis, or asthma, or obesity, or heart disease or whatever. People get sick. People get old. People die. You will too. At least this man lives his life on his own terms. Think about that next time your sitting in the office playing solitaire or on the couch watching Prison breka re-runs. Moron.
