Courtney Dauwalter On the Pain Cave and Listening vs Ignoring Your Brain

[@kevinbruno4182]

Courtney probably has been the single biggest reason, I have dove into running so hard again. The attitude she has on every run she goes on is amazing. It’s all a mental battle and she can just put it aside and have a such happy go lucky attitude. I think about it every run and I have been blowing through goals. From 0 miles a week 6 months ago to 30 miles a week now. With my first 50k in 3 months. LFG Keep Hammering baby. And I take Camerons mental of just doing it for yourself and no body else. Cameron, Courtney, Andrew huberman and Nick Bare have fueled my life, keep killing it Cameron. You have changed my life without even knowing me. 🇺🇸🙏🏻

Been workin long hours with some new knee pain that is throwing up those red flags but your podcasts/videos keep me hammering. Love it.

[@1988ZER]

That's the opposite of what she is saying. Also, you aren't competing. If you're jacked up at work you should probably get it checked out. If you need the money to keep your family going I understand. But the company you work for will replace you tomorrow. Don't suffer for them unnecessarily

Knees hurt it's almost always your hips. Do some stretching.

[@aloniutube]

She’s just very good at managing pain vs injury

[@meanderingmarley3910]

Amazing woman. I hope the people that convinced her to drop out immediately followed that sage advice with some pizza!

[@sarahsteadman5648]

As a beginner, I struggle with this so much. A year ago I ignored the pain in my leg and then had to quit running for a few weeks until it healed. So frustrating!

[@collabagents]

How do you deal with rhabdo? I gave myself rhabdo a couple years ago…and now question those red flags a bit more

KEEP HAMMERING

Why are their teeth so nice. Looks like they had them power buffed and waxed

[@TableWalkLake]

Courtney brushes her teeth during races.

[@davidsequeira1771]

Any time I watch one of Cams videos, sore muscles, tired, hungry…I say fuck it, and go to the gym anyway.

[@meanderingmarley3910]

I hear ya! I had to hit pause and go for a quick jog in the snow. Can't let that sweet motivation go to waste, eh?

Its sad that when i go into the emergency room for pain i cant get pain pills! Well listen up doctors pain is pain!

[@billkuhl2046]

@@Michael-fi6ve I didnt get proper care. I have serverly strained ligiments and tendons and it took 2 visits to the ER to finally get pain meds. Thats not right at all

[@mikechedzoy4866]

@@billkuhl2046 Sounds to me like you got a decent doctor that didn't want to make you an addict.

[@billkuhl2046]

@@mikechedzoy4866 all due respect ive only had pain meds 3 times in my life for surgery. I had very bad strained ligements in my foot when i had a hard time getting them but i eventuly got them for my foot

[@jimmybailey9839]

People can tolerate more pain than they think. Pain meds are almost never needed.

[@LMACKK]

nothing but KEEP HAMMERIN

[@kevinerbe6297]

People are always trying to figure out what makes individuals like Courtney or David Goggins tick. Stop. There is nothing for you to figure out. The vast majority of people simply do not possess the hard wiring to do what Courtney does.

[@sunnysingh-qe5bv]

And David goggins will tell you to keep saying that weak shit because that’s what feeds him

[@encapsule2220]

I know for goggins its massive insecurity thru childhood trauma that he uses as fuel to make him better at anything he wants to do.

[@th3r4f71]

Goggins is a cartoon version of endurance racers. I got into endurance racing because of Goggins but after doing a 4000 mile bike race I realized Most racers aren’t like Goggins. The longer the distance more intellectual they are. Drs, Lawyers, phd students and people over age of 50 could do better than more athletic people. The race I did was the 4000 mile trans am bike race. I thought it was a crazy impossible task but that wasn’t the vibe I got from the racers. They had less limiting beliefs for whatever reason.

[@th3r4f71]

Also most racers who do badass things don’t talk about it because they realize almost every other racer is doing something crazy but not talking about it. Goggins for some reason always makes himself the underdog but in reality most people struggled to get their life situation so they can do races like these. I’ve met people who have pushed their bodies to kidney failure, cured shermers neck in the middle of a race, broke bones and came back the next year to finish what they started. The joke is ‘when you gonna write a book about it’ because people come from outside the circle and do these races just to write books.

[@notoriousrjg]

Horrible take. Goggins and Dauwalter have inspired countless people to push their boundaries and do things they previously thought impossible. You don’t have to run with broken metatarsals or break every existing ultramarathon record to absorb the wisdom those two have been putting out into the public consciousness.
