    From the outside, this looks boring, 26, one mile loops. However, this was one of the most fun marathons of my life! Have any of you gotten creative on your quarantine runs?

    What a great uplifting video! Scott makes some astute comments about running. It can be hard and difficult and it can also be mesmerizing and spiritual. Too bad about Boston in 2020. Thousands of runners have been training for this event for many many months. I ran this marathon twice in 1996 and 2001 and both times it was an out of body experience. Long live the Boston Marathon.

    Wow, loved this one. Well, actually, this one too :-) For biking I've always loved getting up so early I'm the one waking up the little birds in the bushes, not the other way around, so this hit me dead center. Sunrise is magical, and what's more, the silence and the peacefulness of your own community at those hours are equally magical. Boulder looks a super place to live and in some ways also looks kind of like Norway with regards to houses etc. And Sweden I guess, which you of course are familiar with. Scott seems a gentle giant, loved hearing his perspective on running and other things. Stay on it, brother, your work will have me inspired for life :-)

But you know, Scandinavia is far north and even at 4AM it's as light as at noon in the summer =) It's great that you speak Swedish btw, and I'm a tiny bit surprised you still speak it so well in light of the fact that it's quite a few years ago since you lived there. I guess learning languages comes easy for you, and that's a blessing =) Orally Norwegian and Swedish are actually pretty similar languages and you'd probably understand most of what I said if I'd said a few sentences.

When I was older, I used to run laps with my brother. This time, the laps were about 5 miles. I was around 20 at the time. I hated running because I hurt.

    Dudezer I think it’s time for you to have a kid and get a dog. You can still do what you do now and it will bring you a happiness you never knew existed. Sure you have nieces and or nephews and they are great I have them to but just think you can do vids with your kids and they would be that much better and their first words can be ole ole ole ole ole ole......keep the good vibes coming my virtual friend.

    In 2007 finally, 2 of the best ultras got together, the expectations of who is who in this world, They meet to compete in 135 miles Batwater ultra, one of most difficult ultra, Gorge Pacheco mi paisano against Valmir Nunes from Brazil, the Latin version of the ultras. Dean Karnazes and Scott Jurek , w a little different, no sponsors, Los Angeles Times, dedicated 3 full pages to Gorge Pacheco and his story. In mile 40 Gorge ahead of the race, over Valmir, with a strong pace of under 7 minutes per mile, big mistake, drop the race, in mile 92 total exhaust. Valmir run his best 22.51 record in that time. Gorge came back in 2008 , to win the 135 .in 23.20. without, Valmir , not the same .In those years the race started 10 am , in a 120 degree, in up , today started in night time , new records established, 21 .30. Saludos a Jurek .

    Wait, back the truck up. Am I understanding this...The two of you ran the same 1 mile loop 26times with a hill thrown in every 5miles? Phew buddy...How did you mentally overcome the monotony?

    Don't forget: Scott is VEGAN (Ryan is vegetarian). Veganism is the best thing you can do for the planet, for your health, and for the animals. Seriously, take a look deep within yourself... it's important. And it WORKS. Happy Earth Day everyone.
