Courtney Dauwalter Goes Blind and Still Wins Ultramarathon

Courtney Dauwalter talks about going blind while running a 100 mile race and managing to finish in the lead. This is just 1 month before she wins the moab 240.

[@Nobodyie]

She definitely carries the boats and the logs

[@davidek1ng]

Yes she can

[@robertskolimowski7049]

Was just about comment 'I don't get it', but then decided to look the phrase up first and luckily found it, so yeah she certainly can😀👏

[@chickenbiscuitbabyyewww9580]

All the David goggins and classic Rogan jokes aside, this lady might be one of the most badass people on the planet

[@M20100]

90 miles running in the desert going blind. Translation "you're dieing"

[@WhiteUnicorn82]

I wonder if she made it to the end, or whether she got so close and died with end in sight. I hope she made it, but I suppose we'll never know. 😢 What a warrior, regardless. RiP, Mother-Abs.

[@LC-in5or]

Dying*

[@Malae_Basketball]

@@WhiteUnicorn82 you do know that’s her right

[@Malae_Basketball]

@@WhiteUnicorn82 she also couldn’t see the finish line

[@WhiteUnicorn82]

@@Malae_Basketball Yeah, I piss about in the comments section sometimes. She's a warrior; not something I'd willingly undertake!

[@runningwithsimon]

Courtney is great - showing you can be a pure badass but still be humble and kind! She was everywhere in Leadville last year - she's absolutely great!

[@itdogodownbruh6094]

like if david goggins was less agressive

[@aritramahapatra6959]

She is a good hearted , humble and tough woman . I like her.

[@IamDancingStar]

283.33 miles in 68 hours. 2019 Backyard RUN.. She won

[@locofoto75]

What a legend she is

[@thornburymatthew]

She's one of my all time favorites.

[@NimbzBass]

I NEED another Courtney episode!

[@JayJay-wg5ex]

agreed, she has a lot to offer

[@puthranchandu]

She is a super women for sure

[@WhiteUnicorn82]

Yes, she is multiple women.

[@Hoognick]

She's damn hard

[@kong8683]

She is a beast 💪 🔥

[@ViewinDrew]

She was seeing the pearly gates

[@fritznurses-ey5fb]

she needs to write a book

[@RunningMontañas]

She’s a beast!!!! 🏃🏻‍♀️

[@goodnewsrunning]

I’ve experienced this in a race before…it was like a migraine. Right before a big climb I got tunnels vision and basically could only see my hand and arms slight vision of the trail and my feet. Took about 8 miles for it to return to normal.

[@Eagles30]

This is a bad ass chick lol

[@kristykodman8216]

Why don’t more people know about her

[@ZCronies]

Every ultra runner knows her

[@junmai7671]

Depends if you run ultras or not.

[@marlinweekley51]

The national media and therefore general public isn’t paying attention to ultra running or ultra runners. The big 3 sports in the US pay top athletes millions a year but the games fill stadiums selling 10 dollar beers and sell tv ads for millions x 10. Yet none of those athletes in any of those sports has the toughness and endurance of someone like Courtney. Interestingly back in the 1800’s ultra runners performed indoors to large crowds and winners made large sums of money. These indoor races still exist (6 Day in the Dome for example) but the public interest in mass just isn’t there.

Way To Go Courtney Dauwalter A Really Superb Interview With Joe Rogan

[@dakotakingston2923]

Lol to the people that don’t know this is the most savage woman on earth

[@andrewburley3838]

I live dying and loosing total position on the earth and I just keep pushing up the inclines and GO’ never stop 🛑

[@aaronwilhelmi9978]

You are awesome! Iron Man has nothing on you!

[@burimsaliji23]

It's no quit, really hardcore 😮

[@leedove4031]

Wow she is awesome! What tenacity to keep going and finish. Whatever the prize is, its not enough.

[@keneticchannel]

She'd be more psyched about the beer and nachos-something I've heard her most excited about than anything else. lol

[@LC-in5or]

That's so crazy, I love this story. I never heard, Did they ever figure out what the cause of the blindness was?

[@PlayshotKalo]

Run 100 miles in the desert on little water. Your body is going to shut down due to dehydration and heat stroke. I’d probably die at 10 miles lol

[@keneticchannel]

Corneal edema: a buildup of fluid in the cornea.

[@oscarmartinez2538]

My respects to her

[@WarriorofChrist87]

Joes face 😂

[@doernerrr]

Science needs to analyze Courtney and determine what it is that allows her to accomplish these superhuman feats.

[@jeroen1989]

Yet, she will probably not take anything from it. Too humble to, for example, acknowledge her VO2max being elite and she runs on feeling alone; doesn't even measure her heart rate (or pay attention to it whenever she does wear a watch).

[@willemvanriet7160]

Really wanted to listen to the whole story but couldn’t bear the heating music

[@barrymcadams4598]

All hail the Queen of pain!🍀🙏

[@Dee.K.Mikaelson]

I've done exactly the same.!!! Ran only able to see 3ft ahead😮 Thankfully was ok after about 6/ 7 miles ..

[@b.mendiola2515]

It’s insane her mind was giving out before her body

[@SimpleFoosball]

Beast!!!💪

[@xaviertayo6208]

You are Kick Ass!

[@F.P.U]

Her transformation into being super human.

[@guidenee8251]

You are my idol ❤

[@tedwhitaker1843]

what a gangster

[@cpcvr]

❤

[@pumped2run]

Sounds like an ocular migraine. When I got one the first time, I was afraid I was going blind. I could only see through one small spot, off center. No headache, vision just went

[@SarahSkinnyJeans]

Dude why was the original interview with her on JRE removed from KZbin??! I just watched it in February :(

[@JackAlter]

copyright, most on spotify now

[@SarahSkinnyJeans]

@@JackAlter damn that was one of my favorite episodes. She's such a inspiration. Thanks for letting me know

[@rohanquinn]

Goggins wouldn’t survive a training session with Courtney Dauwalter.

[@kevinking2380]

relax buddy

[@rohanquinn]

@@kevinking2380 ?

[@subashadhikari6453]

You wouldn't too 🤷‍♀️

[@goldtiger9453]

Can't disrespect anyone in the top 1%

[@swayambasnet8936]

Goggins could killer her in the gym tho.

[@felixsbuchclub4728]

Thais INSANE 😮

[@ashleyp639]

Joe can't believe there's a bigger savage than him. Cold baths got nothing on a 100 miler!

[@iuploadrandomstuff5]

Goat, She's the female david goggins 🤯

[@mckinneyman4325]

Amazing what the human body can endure.

[@nicolenorris8991]

What is the reason she would lose vision, dehydration… overheating?

[@andrewburley3838]

Fucking savage’

[@mike41062]

That wasn't blindness- she was seeing the light at the end of the tunnel! 😂

[@kimaboe]

I know you're making a joke, but its kinda fascinating that it sounds like it was the exact reverse of that, she was seeing the trail in a tunnel made of light :p

[@panchopistolas7075]

GAWD

[@joeyspillane5404]

Where is the link to this full podcast

[@jillsy2815]

Probably just search "Rogan Dauwalter"

[@robertskolimowski7049]

When was it?😮🤔

[@LizaLavolta]

This is pretty common for ultra runners.

[@dianareddell1496]

Damn! Quit is not in her vocabulary ❤

[@keneticchannel]

Neither is "win." "Managed to finish and hold the lead." lol

[@turdgaineronroblox6228]

Based woman 🍷

[@tomevans4402]

Dang

[@Santosfitness731]

Joe Rogan “ you still won “ 😆

[@joe1071]

Would you finish the race if you went blind part way through?

[@Allison_Chaynes]

Gangsta!

[@Nobody12546]

She's the female rocklee

[@darthsmoke6652]

God damn

[@robmangeri777]

She was talking about getting to her pain cave and sort of living in it. Apparently it includes blindness and running more than ten miles like that without being caught! She really doesn’t look anywhere near as hard core as she is!!!

[@davidmagana2501]

Heavy-Hitter!

[@CaraxYT]

What ep is this?

[@bigbooty8948]

#231

[@keneticchannel]

Too humble to say, "I won." Just says, "I managed to finish and hold the lead." She was probably more psyched for the beer and nachos waiting for her than the winner's buckle.

[@Frilabird]

Wouldn't be surprised if Joe somehow connect this to bears

[@JustSomePunx1312]

Andrew tate: I can do that, no problem. With a broken leg and 3 pit bullshit chasing me

[@albertomontano1225]

David Goggins couldn’t handle her

[@foofarley04]

Sounds like a vasovagil syncope

[@Nobodyie]

Goggins competition

[@reidjames2938]

Goggins is no competition for her

[@proudvirginian]

Joe can probably relate as his brain does the same thing all the time.

[@amanjamwal7528]

😳

[@zgjfinance2796]

Iron who?! Iron woman!

[@nilsp9426]

Sounds like a very healthy sport ;-)

[@abhishekrathore2526]

She could eat a raw potato and bake it enroute .........as a man who has suffered from bronchial asthma half my life , i got better health as i walked and ran throgh the hills of Kumaon but the sheer miles in what duration again . How do i get city dwellers to realise this is possible.

[@EasyHealthHacks]

Most Joe Rogan clip ever. You might say something more apish would work, but his open mouth listening face and "what?" with intense runner talk and guitar... it's so jre

[@IEatSloths]

Jre #1027

[@TheBontekraai]

when you care more about winning as living

[@Dion934]

No definitely hilarious. I’d be exceptionally concerned

[@sabinshrestha6346]

She is the one who changes goggins's diaper.

[@nalevario]

Exaggeration

[@alleldaniel523]

Have kids with her man

[@jillsy2815]

She's married already. She's 38 I think. But yes she def needs some kiddos. This planet needs more Courtneys & Kevins (her husband) ❤❤❤

[@alistairpearson7580]

It's recorded these races are live public events

[@sober1522]

Manly ego got hurt 😂

[@danielstevens58]

These are public events

[@joeyboes7771]

Yea this isn’t healthy at all, I will never understand these trail runner junkies

[@jovanleon7]

After that she ran a 238 miles race and won by 10 hours over the second place who's a man. And here she is talking, looking perfectly healthy and fine. If that's not insane I don't know what is.

[@slavplaysgames]

They dont know her son!!!
