what I learnt while running for 80km in the glasshouse trail run, with no sleep and no training before the event. If you really want to test yourself, and discover who you are with all the layers pulled back - try ultramarathons. The people who do these events are just normal people with a passion for adventure and alone time.

Join me as I discover myself in the glasshouse mountains. It's not pretty.

  • what is the song playing in the background around the 7min mark? I have heard this song before in a very motivating video i saw that motivated me. just like this one of yours ;)

  • @williamo1980 it is from the movie Friday Night Lights, not sure what it is called

    

  • Thank you so much for making this video. It's pretty awesome that you were able to complete 80k in 13 hours with so little run specific training. I'm seriously debating running a 100k in the mountains at the end of Sept of this year just for the adventure/experience (don't expect I'll be much of a racer). I do run, but never over 25k at one time. You are truly inspirational... thank you again

  • @ajr8p Thanks heaps, just go for it. As ObiOneSkwaler said, the self discovery mirrors the pain you get, so the distance you complete is irrelevant, what is important is that you run far enough to get to that where the pain has stripped away all of your layers of pretence, and continue to push through. That's where the magic happens!

  • Ouch! I am working to an ultra marathon in May this year. I was worried even before I watched this....now I am more worried! Congrats on last year - you done any more since?

  • @TheFellsman yeah, did a 100k track run for charity a few months ago, was a lot easier without the hills and a little more confidence!

see all
