that quote 'when your going thru hell, keep going!' is from Winston Churchill.

Great quote for sure. I use it in my 24hr races.

Tim, what an inspiring video! Since you're the raw running champion, would you please recommend a training for half a marathon? Should I eat before or after a run? It's my first with no runner background, just strength training. I have 2 months. Thank you very much, your advice is very much appreciated! :)

I''m so proud of you! I am going through the lazy beginnings of detoxing. I'm not sleeping well and am depressed at times. I have some pretty serious health issues and feel like giving up but you've inspired me to keep going. THANK YOU!

Eckhart Tolle. The Power Of Now! You need to drop the ego My man.

It all starts with the belief that if you win that race you can be happy. You put you happiness on the outcome of a race. No race can make you happy, not if you win or lose. But puttting that happiness outside of you is a sure way to feel the pain of depression. You colapsed under the weight, yet physically nothing colapsed. Just your thought not being able to stay strong happy and clear. You path to happy thoughts collapsed. Read everythign from Eckhart, he will help you find the path

Wow if you really analyze this video you can see the main causes of your his depression. Depression is a state of mind. There is nothing to cure. The only thing to cure is your thoughts, horrible scary thoughts. But you have to believe. I overcome the negative thoughts and mind set and my depression was gone. IF YOU ARE DEPRESSED ITS YOUR THOUGHTS. It fuels the pain in your body. That fuels the thoughts. Read Power of Now tim it will change your life bro.
