Bjorn at 260km.... no sweat, no strain and still has great form.... amazing!
Great form?
@@saljablo2767 Great form after 260km in 24hr is putting two feet in front of each other without falling over and dying.
Some people have it figured out.
@@SBF_FTX593 after?
After awhile u just stop sweating
I get running for 24 hours as a challenge, but I think being inside and doing it, just seeing the same unchanging walls pass by over and over would slowly break me as much as the physical aspects. I admire their persistence and commitment.
Yea I didn't get that either. Especially with a nice outdoor track right above them.
@@butter7734 Maybe it adds to the challenge? Or avoids sunburns? Or doesn't block use of the aboveground track for 24 straight hours? Could be a lot of reasons I suppose.
@@jsmxwll probably to remove the perception of time passing by because the sun's not there.
That seems to be a part of it, increasing the intesity of the mental battle. No distracting scenery passing by, just your brain and you in a battle.
@@CDSAfghanThat’s literal torture lmao. I feel like running for 24 hours and running outside with scenery is a nice balance between torture, pain, and beauty. This is just…
3:59 I love when he asks her "why," she thinks for a moment as her face gets serious and the reply is "it's something you have to do." There's a lot of emotion & miles behind that simple reply
She’s so stoic 🗿
Look how frail they all look running for long distances takes a huge toll on there body
@@originalpro1505 in general if u look at any distance runner they all look very frail but they are far from that, muscle is weight and why would u want more weight while running? its all diet and best physique for running
@@originalpro1505 frail ? Sure Frail but tougher than a coffins nail
@@kealahau6727 frail looking i believe they mean
Props to all the runners who were willing to do an interview during their competition and while physically suffering! What nice people!
take their mind of the pain
I ran twice 24hrs in the stadium, not the same race, but one in Barcelona. It is hard to describe what really make you want to try the first time, then come back. But I admit that I have built similar attitude and "addiction" to keep coming back. From my side this is a mix of willing to make something really hard, share it with others, (extra)ordinary people, having something to be proud of yourself and finally the amazing feeling of crossing the line despite all the pain and sacrifice. This is hard to understand for big majority of people, but those who have tried, many will understand, without being able to explain it... hard to describe it really :))) There is something special about these races... give it a shot ;)
What does the aftermath look like? Multiple days of not being able to walk? Are you scared of permanent injuries during?
@@denlolify I can only speak from my experience. If you train reasonably much before and in general are a runner for some years, the pain lasts 3-4 days. Walking is very hard 1-2 days, some blisters, swollen feet etc. I would say within a week you are back to normal, can start short, slow runs. This is my experience, but it is very personal and based on your body, experience, capability etc. In terms of injury during the 24h run...yes, there is some level of fear, but anytime I feel something is wrong I slow down, walk or just stop for some time. At the end some people withdraw after some hours, you can always just take a break. Last time I got a ankle injury and spend last few hours just walking. Could not run. If this comes back to me in longer future.... I guess that is the risk I am willing to take ;)
@@andrzejdanielewicz5529 wow thanks thats crazy
@@andrzejdanielewicz5529 i'm from bcn. Whats the name of the race?
I feel like I can relate as a boxer as well.
And here I am, training to run my first 27 miles (44km) in under 6 hours. Perhaps someday I’ll join these incredible people in Oslo.
This was amazing to witness. There was a quiet, meditative energy linked to the pure pain that the runners were going through. Even in the pain, they had a smile and a kind word. It was cathartic to see their overwhelming emotions come through at the end. So often we live through 24 hours without feeling the day go by, I'm sure these runners felt every second of that time. If they can do that, they can certainly do loads of other seemingly impossible things in the other 364 days of the year.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts I think you summed it up very well and I am happy you enjoyed the video 😊
Repent to Jesus Christ “Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy.”
Psalms 126:5 NIV

When there's a lot of endorphins released onto our bloodstream while jogging, that's when we experience this euphoric state by which alot of us runners call it the 𝙧𝙪𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙧'𝙨 𝙝𝙞𝙜𝙝. Once we're able to experience the runner's high, pain subsides and we can continue on at the same pace for hours. I remember jogging at night during my 1st year in college (2011) I was supposed to start at 9pm and finish at 11pm. But due to experiencing a runner's high I kept on going until 5am the next day, I only stopped when I realized that it was sunrise already.
😂😂
@@josephchristianruiz6581 You ran the equivalent of a whole work day just for a bit of fun and quite possibly on accident. That sounds like chill memory where your strength and power were on display just for yourself. Better yet, it doesn't even sound like it was that strenuous which is a testament because that was a crazy long time to be running.
I really enjoy running and walking and pursue those activities, in part, for the endorphins, my mood and state of mind have always followed action.
Oh day 9 of walking again after L5 S1 L3 sequestration, I can only see sciatica while seeing these people run... but this is just another level of insanity, which i sincerely hope is on the cards for me in the future.
I can't quite imagine it yet, but I feel having not being able to walk properly for 12 months once and now 10 weeks this time so far, that the answer to most doing this lies in not having fear of the extreme pain/complications that may occur, as they've been there. Or even had loved ones go to those places and are running to understand/support those they've seen in utter agony for long periods of time.
Dono, just a guess from someone who aspires to do this kinda challenge.
The strength of their minds is out of this world! That's more than 2 ultra marathons, and in a basement?! For 24h?! That's incredible! Their smiles and hugs at the end are beautiful. In the first place, who thought this was a great idea? It's nuts! I believe it's the passion, love and ambition for running that drive these people to run this much. Admirable!
Ultra marathons are nuts already. Don’t those people ruin their bodies?
«Because we can!» Impressive stuff, Göran!
Yeah I liked that answer as well, thanks!😊
And if we can, we do!!!
I know the reason. It's social, long-term and your fella friends there are real energy and mind boosters. Iron will. Steady mind. Great time! And you don't get a cold after running inside a marathon.
NOTWAY IS COLD AT WINTER, THATS WHY ThEY RUN INSiDE!
Right answer! And why not?
Amazing that this was the first comment I saw as I was going to quote her! Some powerful words that lady said
I participate in an anual 24 hour race, not running, but longboarding (skateboard). We go around a NASCAR track, and watching the video reminded me of circling around the track, although ours is outside. I would have a hard time doing a 24 hour event without the sky to help me get through the night. My personal best is 274 miles and the world record is 313 miles!
313 milhas sem parar ,pode falar mais sobre isso tem algum documentário sobre isso ,achei interessante isso .
I have only done ultras less than 24hrs, but if I was in that track and you asked me, my answer would be: "These long races allow you to run well below threshhold and see how far your body can take you, no elevation changes, no rocks to trip over, no distractions, just you. They allow you to forget the stresses of the outside world for just a moment in time. Having no worries and running below threshold makes it easier to get in the 'running zone' or the 'runners high'. These races are not about beating others, but yourself and they make you get closer to your mental self." Thanks for the video Göran!
It's also a fairly safe environment, if you fall or pass out someone will find you almost immediately and they'll have first aiders on site.
I had a friend in high school who was on the track team. She talked about runners high and always ran with me in PE class and told me the first mile is the hardest etc. I never felt what she talked about. I never felt a runners high and I never thought it was easy. I only felt asthma and tired. Maybe one day I will experience it. I want so badly to *want* to run.
@@NikkiDoesStufff May I ask if you run regularly, and if so, what your mileage is like? It's an individual experience, but for me, I only get runner's high if I've been consistently running ~20 miles a week (coming from a combination of workouts). Although that is plenty for me, it's not a lot in terms of how much distance runners will often train. I think the reason I need that baseline is that if I'm not running that much, there is no "below threshold" run. I.e. all running quickly becomes painful and difficult. Runner's high lasts and carries you through, but at least for me it doesn't come if my lungs aren't minimally capable.
As a complete amateur i ran a full marathon at a small island outside Bergen, Norway a few years back. We ran 10 laps of 4,2 kilometers each. Bjørn Tore Taranger was the winner, and i got to hear him talk about his 24h run on the ferry trip back to Bergen. I was completely exhausted but he seemed like he had just finished his daily morning run. Good times, hehe
Anyone who has ever even lifted their legs would know how not only physically challenging this is, but mentally too!! It's crazy how they can keep up with that for such a long time. Being able to run in the same place for hours and hours is nuts! Normally when I run I tell myself "Okay until that tree." "I'll stop when I reach that sign" or whatever, but these people, they can't do that, they just tell themselves "Many more laps to go!" and I can't imagine surviving through that😆😆👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
lmao this is me exactly 😂
for me its cycling and i use that same method too set goals for myself feels nice too accomplish goals...the tree than the park...than the museum...than one day ur riding through 4 citys twice in same day!
Bro if you’re a human being with a working leg you’ve lifted your leg 😂
@@dah_goofster I think that’s the point they’re making haha
Me after a mile oy my calve the bottom of my foot ow.
I just started taking running seriously. I use to always say I respect the folks that wake up and run 10 or 20 miles a day. These folks are running 24 hours. I can't even stay up or walk for 24 hours, forget running. Mad respect for these people. I can only do 1.5 or 2 miles at a very slow pace but you guys are awesome and more motivation for me to become better at cardio and bettering myself.
You said everything I thought to say. I just started taking it seriously too!
i was just at same state as you last year and then i ran marathon at the end of the year. i hope you continue the momentum and get to run marathon for yourself😀
I think some people are just born with the desire to do really hard things, for no reason other than that they are challenging. Some inspiring people in this video!
Yep, some proper weirdos about 🤣
@@ZJS0113 wtf? You probably have no drive for anything, have no idea what being competitive is like
I haven't finished the video I will, but commenting before I finish it. I'm a new runner and immediately I feel the clear answer is the roller-coaster of emotions you would feel in these 24 hours, the peaks and valleys joy, grit, determination followed by agony grief and the why constantly revolving. only to finish the race with the joy and sense of victory being the last emotions. people love that journey through their minds its breaks them down and builds them back up stronger in just 24 hours.
For me as an epileptic runner with adhd I run to show my head who's boss. Running requires a focus on motor skills, breathing etc that quietens the din in my head. It's moving meditation and medicine in one for me. I walk as often as I can in the day for the same reason and often joke if I could run and walk all day for a living I would. 😊
there are wandering monks who walk 70km everyday for a year, u could say its their job lol

The guy who summitted Mt Everest and K2 in consecutive years is an absolute mad lad and this race is the kind of training a person needs in order to gauge where their mentals' at before they can even consider climbing either one of the 2 highest peaks in the world.

I was a sprinter turned boxer and now running long distances for fun. we all hear " common , yes you can , you can do it " all this from people to motivate us . what really keeps us real and motivated is testing ourselves if we can or not. when the answer you tell self is "yes I can" by doing such runs in a basement gives you what we all want "confidence "
Do you think this applies strictly in the activity of running? Because I'm wondering if people are using running as a tool to validate their "abilities" or super charge their confidence. Why can't one simply just recognize that "you just can" do it in anything that you want to apply yourself towards
This out of the subject but : did you perfom well in endurance since you were a sprinter ?
@@clinkz023 it takes time to adopt our body to new sports, but mind knows we already trained at high level , so things move faster compared to someone never trained hard before :). after 2 years of training i am doing better now . not totally satisfied, but ok !
@@andrewheng5176 there is difference between confidence and over confidence. confidence is earned and over confidence is saying we can without knowing if you can or not :)
I'm of a similar sporting background to yourself. I think many of us are of the mindset to push, push, push to our limits and find our true capabilities. To compete against ourselves, to see what's truly possible. It's like a flame within us, the can't be extinguished.
Wow Göran this video really blow up! You deserve all the views that you get and new people finding your channel. The work you put in your videos really shows and your knowledge and enthusiasm is what's making this channel stand out. Awesome job as always!
Just seeing people push themselves to the absolute limit is very inspiring. For some it might be stupid but for others, its a very big achievement. Respect to all who have done this👏🏽
Thank you for showing and bringing closer this type of race. I myself am a participant of Backyard ultra races and this type of races as well. We are only as strong as we are willing to face challenges that we feel we are not up to, once we finish them the feeling of satisfaction is so powerful and strong that you keep coming back to it no matter how hard it is.
kinda similar feeling when I challenged myself to walk from my rent in Bratislava to Vienna... started at 6am, and finished pretty much by the strength of will and unwillingness to fail, arriving at around 12:15am at Erdberg Bus Terminal... according to the app, from those 18 hrs I spent around 15 on the move... still feels insane :)
that sounds amazing!! i would love to take on a challenge like that myself, it's really impressive you managed to do that!
@@meadow2767 of course I kinda trained - at that time, I would wake up earlier before work and walk all the way there, like 6km there and then after work also back... before I did that Vienna thing, I did a little trial walk around Bratislava - started in Petrzalka and walked around most of it, before finishing somewhere in Zahorska Bystrica/Lamac, total of around 51km... ruined my shoes, my feet were one big blister (couldnt wear full shoes for almost a month :D ), but it proved useful, since I knew what I had to improve before tackling walking to Vienna - getting better shoes, better socks, and of course putting together a little medikit for blisters and such :D
fun times :) since then I only did shorter and less insane ones - last time it was walking from Neuwaldegg (tram terminus in northern Vienna) along Tullner Strasse and such, all the way to Tulln, most of it in pouring rain :D ... still fun :D ... my reward was a slow but comfy train ride along Danube back to Vienna (on double decker coach Wiesel, so I had great views along the way) :)
It’s interesting, I think you can really test yourself - u can’t blame the weather, conditions, it’s not cold or dark, just you and 24h meditation in movement, amazing, I kind of understand that.

I run for the beauty of the outdoors and pushing my limits. I get the mental challenge of this, but man, could never get myself to sign up to run in a basement😅
Haha yeah that was what I thought before being there and experiencing it 😅
Maybe that’s the appeal, it makes you focus even more on the mind rather than have any distractions / nature / variety. And being hidden from view also adds to the isolation.
@@furiousfoggy there is some like 3000 mile race where people do like 60+ miles a day around a small city block in New York that is explicitly based on that idea.
I totally see how it could get you deep in your mind. Not sure i wanna go that far though.

7:46 Nice to see my neighbors Lithuanians, I am from Latvia myself. I am now training for a slow sub 5 hour marathon, what these people do out there is completely another level. Hopefully one day I can run ultras as well! Mad respect
Really emotive and motivational documentary here, Göran. I have ran all my life and just recently rediscovered a deep passion for the sport in aid of recovering from crippling depression. Running is life changing if you persevere with the short term pain. I hope one day to participate in this event to see what my body is capable of. Thank you for covering this event, otherwise I would never have understood why it is that I run.
Such a great example of what the body can achieve, if you put your mind to it. Please cover more Ultra-Distance Running. I find the athlethes extremely motivating.
Yeah so many impressive athletes! Yep more ultra videos coming in the future 😊
i wish we had more people in the world like this. this is the mental fortitude that allows you to be successful anywhere
Running like that is pure determination I’m not against music in the ears but for me I want to be able to motivate myself no music no nothing just my mind
In a way this is a 24h meditation session. At the end you’ll not be the same person that started it.
It's like the Fight Club of running 😅 woo. Excellent edit that was a journey, mini documentary. All those runner are inspiring. If not for you I would have never known of such an event. Interesting
Keep up the great content 😊🏃
Thanks glad you liked the mini doc! And yeah so many inspiring runners down in that basement was so much fun to get to run the last hours with them.
@@goranwinblad it was very interesting and inspiring, im very impressed but everyone you interveiwed they were so kind. May ask this Stadium is based in Oslo? I think it would be cool if you gave it a try next year (up to you😅). Thanks again for anther great video
I felt like I ran out of breath just watching them. The mental fortitude of these people are strong.They have my absolute respect.
Beautiful snippet of human resilience in the face of the human condition! Thank you! Just going for a run after thinking of skipping today…!
That makes me happy to hear, hope you had a great run!
I am a newbee jogger, I can't even keep running for a hour. Can't believe these guys can keep running for 24, amazing
its braindead, not amazing.... one of the most pethetic form of 'sports'. Smart people dont use sports to destroy their body feeding their ego; its mentall illnes naturally like that
this video totally got me!! the story was very well delivered and you were very good capturing the atmosphere, loved it
Thank you so much!! 😊
@Goran_Winblad. oooh really? How do I find you on Telegram? Thanks
3:03 "What makes it fun? - Feel the pain". In my race yesteday it was hurting and I just thought, "EMBRACE THE PAIN!" so cool.
I’m not a runner and I’m not sure how this video appeared in my feed. However, I’m so happy it did! Two reasons, one it showed people with great attitudes pushing themselves to their limits, two, it reminds me of all the people I’ve met in my life from Norway who are the nicest people I’ve ever met!
I lived with a Norwegian for 6months and I can confirm that. Axel Bredeli my Brother.
This video was recommended to me also. I'm not a runner either and I've never been to or no any one from Norway but I enjoyed the video.
If you want to see for real how far you can move by running in 24h, in a flat track event like this you'll have the best circumstances to do it! Constant temp, flat course (no controversy on result being valid), very little wind (probably little wind to running direction because of runners), drinks, food and toilets available all the time. You can just close into your flow / bubble and go
Thanks for making the effort to give us all a very fun glimpse into this race. Well done.
At the end, I teared up a bit--thanks and to all competitors, great job and best wishes!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Omg respect to all these people. It requires so much mental strength. I am so glad I came to know about something so beautiful.
That’s incredible to see so many committed athletes . I don’t know how they could do it in the basement. Great video by the way
Very inspiring. I'd like to try this. It is infectious, the thought of pushing yourself beyond any normal limit. And the finish looked wonderful for everyone!
Glad you found it inspiring! 😄
This is freakin amazing. The joy in those people’s faces afterwards was beautiful.
Yeah it was really cool to get to see them conquering this incredible challenge!
Wow the video editing is getting better and better, thanks for sharing this experience Goran 👏👏
Thanks!
I love such videos as they are huge inspirations. I am far away from being unfit yet i struggle with running, stamina etc so i decided to do my first half-marathon this year. When ever i feel like giving up while training I think about videos like these.
One of the reasons why I like running is because of the surrounding nature and the fresh air that I like very much. This is definitely no no for me. Their level of satisfaction in running seems to be of another level.
Same, I like the feeling of rocks and dirt under my feet
Not sure how I got here, but incredibly high quality video. Great Job.
It's so incredible how strong the human body is, and how resilient the human spirit is. The ending was so touching to witness. Not sure if I would be up for a race like this any time soon, but definitely empowered to push myself.
Each of this people are inspiration. This is just a deconstruction of basic human needs and i love it
"You know the worst thing? I'll be here next year." 🤣 Perfect summary
The sense of community between runners is just heartwarming to see.. also awesome to see a basement running track, unheard of where i'm from :)
Motivation, determination, perseverance ... but you also have to be just a little crazy I think :D
Haha yeah many of the runners I talked to also referred to themself as crazy 😅
Nothing hits you like a finishing something you weren't sure you could even do. The pain just adds to the pay off, and when you reach the other side of it emotionally I'm not sure what to even call it. Its incredible.
great doc. well shot and edited. nice interviews,
Thanks Jonas 😊
Great video. It’s interesting that this one got viral more than some of the other ones on this channel, like the ones on running every day for a year, 1000 days in a row and more..
Great job telling the story of this race! Very cool!
Thanks Chad! 😊
This was such a wonderful story to tell, I really hope to see you documenting your own journey next year!
I just get emotional watching this. I would love to do something like that!
For me personally i think one of the biggest challenges is that constant running in circles with those lights above you. Trying not to get trapped in ur head and keep focus for 24hr thats the real achievement here. Then ofc phsyically this is a nightmare too. But i think i speak for a lot of runners that this looks/sounds intriguing af for some reason😂
Outstanding - Id love to see more content like this from you!
Thanks yeah hope to be doing more of this mini doc style content in the future!
6:44 The message is so powerful, I remembered my professors who used to tell us this in class.
I did this race twice and I ran 189 km the first year and 206 km three years later.
There is not many things a human can do for a whole 24 hrs let alone run. I think this is ultimate challenge and the reason why I’ve done it was to first off see if I could even do it and second to see if I could do it again and be the best at being the craziest mofo to have run 24 hrs in a basement….. Last thing… once you do this, you can pretty much do anything!
What a glorious bunch of crazy folks!! Incredibly challenging mentally and physically! but I'm sure the rewards are just as equally as sweet
Wtf I feel good about myself when I manage to run for 20 mins without stopping. How are they running for 24 hours and hundreds of kilometers?? Like I'm not even *that* unathletic and fairly young. It's hard to wrap my head around. Maybe there's some technique to running long that I don't get. Wow, very impressive.
I think that the concept behind it appeals to a lot of people. You don’t have to finish a certain distance, but rather just run as many laps as you can. Additionally completing a lap each time feels good
This is an inspiring and fascinating video. I love how at about 7:20 there is a man casually wheeling what looks like a wheelchair along the track, like "yeh pick up a few folk". Im amazed how good they all look after 23 hours though
Great video. It would be great if you can meet some of them the day after and let them talk how they felt during the race and what kept them going and how they recover from this.
Thanks! Great suggestion, will maybe do something like that in the future in the mean time I made a video about my recovery after a 100k race mountain race: ua-cam.com/video/_Alhw25WcZo/v-deo.html
Your journalistic enthusiasm is so refreshing
Thanks glad to hear 😊
Unbelievable mindset and focus, what a challenge! Must be really hard to not go a little but crazy with the monotony of a race like this. Big respect 👍
My gosh, what a feat! Also, it was so emotional to see when they finished the race. My gosh! I wonder how their body is after it ends and how long it takes them to recover!
I’ve done a marathon but this is just a whole new level of wild. Wow. Next level commitment
I’ve never done something like this but would definitely want to do it....and my reason would be just to challenge myself. I would be curious what % of people are introverts versus the general population. I’m an introvert and think this kind of stuff appeals to us....but I may be wrong. Great video!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Thanks glad you liked it!
I can assure you the winner of the event, the guy with the tattoos, is no introvert :-) Running is for everybody and all kind of mindsets 🙂
@@S9999Frank yo I agree it’s for everyone......just curious if it attracts more of a certain crowd from the general population. Peace
Absolutely love the quality of the video, great job!
This is an INSANE and BEAUTIFUL feat that these people accomplish. I just finished doing the One Mile Every Hour challenge and I thought that was hard enough 😂 can’t imagine hitting over 125 miles, that’s 5 times what I did in those 24 hours
And 125 hours isn't even a crazy 24 hour distance. I ran a race and the winner did 136 miles in 24 hours.
The record is almost 200.
@@mattwestcigarreviews that’s insane, don’t think I can ever get there lol 😂 it must be painful. That 26 miles in 24 hours was brutal enough

Yeah it's nuts. Those guys are studs.
If you look at MOST people doing a 24 hour race there are a ton of people that do like 60 miles and quit.
Goran, this is one of the best running and storytelling videos I’ve ever seen. Amazing work. Gave me all the feels and made my cry. Awesome work, dude. Exceptional.
Wow, thank you, glad to hear 😊
You needed to have interviewed some of the slower runners (who mostly walk). I too have attempted this - 3 times - but outside, on a 400m track. My best distance was 143 kilometres. I did it barefoot. The best reason I can give for doing it is to create a lifetime memory. I will never forget.
Great video! Very emotional!
Somebody call David goggins to join
This is so inspiring Göran, thanks for sharing this story!
Great video once again. In the video "Can I RUN a sub 4:30 mile in my first attempt?" you promised another attempt if you reached 1000 likes. You did by 3x - And we would love to see that second attempt! :D
I don’t run but train for endurance cycling. So much of it is for yourself.
To be in your own mind. It is meditative. You lose all thoughts of the world and focus solely on the event/activity.
Breaking personal barriers and milestones. The feeling of accomplishment is so intoxicating. The mental toughness train the body to perform. The hours and days of dedication really shows the preparedness of the individual. Then on event day to perform and possibly fail is amazing. Failing is incredibly disappointing but we learn. We return. And every time we get better. One day we’ll finish and complete our goals. And it makes those days worth every minute of preparation.
It’s an emotional ride. I do it because many people cannot. I train and perform to raise funds, bring awareness to causes, and try to focus on what I’m blessed to have that I can use to help others.
Overall I think it’s the pursuit of the undoable. And overcoming your own hardships.
I am currently training for an Everesting and it’s been a long road of falling. But I’ll make it there!
seems like a form of self harm tbh
Na, they just wanted to do dumb shit and you know what that's fine we all do dumb shit all the time at least they did something dumb together.
Love the human urge to do things simply because they want to prove they can, the level of motivation humans have is a gift of evolution, the ability to overcome out natural instincts telling us not to do something scary or painful in the short term to better ourselves in the long term.
That is insane. But I have learned runners can be insane. I love it.

The Title Feels so Candid, yet appealing....
Having my longest ever distance be 110k on trails the best answer I’ve been able to give when people ask me why is simply because I enjoy it. The peace, joy, and confidence that comes from putting myself through so much suffering voluntarily is unimaginable unless you’ve done it and endured. Being put through something difficult involuntarily is one thing but doing it willingly knowing you’ll suffer is a different mindset and I think ultra endurance athletes at our core would rather suffer and be different than live in comfort and be just like everyone else. Additionally, it’s type-2 fun, where the pleasure of the event comes after it’s over. And some people are just weird and crazy and like being in pain. I’m all three sometimes.
This is almost tragic. You can feel their excessive competitiveness and embracement of pain. Like an addiction.
Thank you. What a wonderful video. Simple, elegant and motivating.
