    The take away is really the validation . Although I have always and still enjoy the viserole act of running and ineffable " fun " which comes from taking what is essentially a profuntory human trait of prepulsion and fun then elongating it , pushing it and explicating as a skill a personal art form . Validation that its that process that is transferable . Knowingly challenging ones self into the uncomfortable liminal spaces which running yeilds . are my motivation . The process of manifesting walls to climb and learing the resilience to best climb them is the gift I take away from running . Regarding the video . Your approach is great . The praxia of diologue is perfect and your tone is refreshingly humble which helps to illicit the best from your guest without immodest need to keep affirmaing your own credentials which is often the down fall of a lot of other podcasters .

    well.... I suppose I'm in a minority (of one) but, though this, like many documentaries, looks really really interesting, and inspiring, the 'background' muzak is a distraction for me.... and I had to give up....

    "She has less than 20min to do 2mi". Then a shot of her crossing the finish with 5min30s to spare. That was after having run 200mi+. I can't believe that's humanly possible.

    I'm just getting into long distance walking - then started to (what I called) "my shuffle" on the down hills and I liked it because it seem to give my 57 year old knees a break from the discomfort. The rest of my whole body wasn't tired and was beginning to like these shuffling sections (I live in a very hilly area). But just after 16 miles (8 miles between and a day off in between), I felt pain along the top of my foot and shin. Everything I could find on line said to get off of it for 2 - 6 weeks!! I was like what!!!??? I doubt these ultra marathon runners get told this, when all I hear from them how they fight through the pain cave. Even doctors tell us "ordinary people" to take it easy.... well I don't want to! I want to train, I want to be out there, but how and from who do you learn when to push through and when not to, what should be paid attention to and what should be ignored? Where do you find a doctor that is trained on how to get you back out doing what you love and not one (like nearly all I've ever seen) that just tells you to sit back down and stop it? Your story is so inspiring thanks for sharing.

    Joe Rogan: "Her demon's a quiet demon. It's there." Dauwalter: "I don't like to fail and I want to finish everything I start." [chuckling] "Is that a demon?" Joe's obsession that ultra endurance athletes must have demons is so frustrating. It's not unlike the "tortured artist" trope. Just because some great athletes and artists battled addiction or some other "demon" does not at all indicate all athletes/artists must. Get over it, Joe, you are insulting her accomplishments! Don't over complicate it: she has unbelievable willpower and she works really hard.

    Phew! I am 1 week away from my first marathon. Started training at 50 yrs age, BMI of 28, and took me 6 long months. Have sacrificed sleep,, Entertainment, with lots of running across trails and parks. Now, 6 months later, can't wait for it. Did 3 , 20 plus miles runs. BMI went down to 26 already. Wish me luck 🤞

      Well done. You are amazing and love your commitment. I understand as I was 2 months off turning 60 when I trekked Everest base camp via the 3 passes. Walked in very high altitude 4K to 5K meters above sea level for anything from 9 to10 hrs per day.

    Courtney I really love your spirit to crush everything what's in front of you 🙏 You're the person that started the fire within me for ultra running and that I can do it to becaue my mind went like that: When a small and thin looking person like she can run so far, then I can too. So and because of that fuel I really started running on a daily basis and after ten months of just regular slow running I ran a 50 miler complete on my own because covid was going nuts. I finished it in 10 hours and 26 minutes, and it was literally the hardest thing I had done in my life so far. It roughed me up pretty bad 😄 I have to admit that my math that I can do it too was hilarious. I underestimated it pretty good 😄 Thank you, Courtney, for being my light in this dark world because running changed everything in life for me 🙏 Through you I discovered my purpose for being here on this earth 🙏 So thank you again Courtney. Someday we will meet 🙏 I'm sure of that. I love you Courtney for your being. Thank you 🙏
