I Tried DAVID GOGGIN'S Insane Running Challenge

who’s gonna carry the boats?
David Goggins is an ex Navy SEAL who’s accomplishments include: completing Navy SEAL hell week 3 times, running over 100 miles in 19 hours, losing over 100 pounds in 3 months, completing the Moab 240 mile race, running over 50 ultramarathons, and doing over 4,000 pullups in 24 hrs. He’s commonly called the toughest man alive. He’s appeared on podcasts such as The Joe Rogan Experience and Modern Wisdom.
This time, I decided to try Goggin’s insane running challenge, the 4x4x48. I’d trained about 3 weeks before attempting it, and it was the most physically painful thing I’ve ever experienced.
Big thanks to Goggins for being an inspiration for so many people, and a big inspiration to me.
Stay hard!

[@LuukvanWezel]

I did this challenge in februari! I know how hard it is to wake up at 4 am and go for a run. Good work man!

[@AlwaysTrain]

Good job guys

[@aichachellal4242]

U deserve like n Moore views congrats Bro ❤

[@Heytrix]

Hi, been following you for a while and really enyoying your videoes Have some feedback for the title, since i wasent so entricted to click. The problem is that you give the answar in the title, and there us little reason to then click on the video Cant give you and answer to what title intead, but something thats make a question i want an answar to by watching the video If that made sense😅

[@ervczek]

Hi Ben! Great video, but it felt like it needed some more of your words on the challenge itself besides the comment, that it was the hardest challenge you've faced. I mean, it just about could sum it all up by itself, but you know, the video just kind of ended. Nevertheless, congrats on completing it! Going after it at the end of summer when I will be more ready, just got back to running after a long break:)

[@Ben.Stevenson]

Appreciate the feedback, I'll try to add more of that in the future. I'm trying to work on balancing my thoughts (which sometimes take a while to get out and people don't want to sit through) vs storytelling to keep the video moving.

[@bigstock21]

One foot in front of the other…very simple thing to say. But once you put it into action it works miracles

[@zachayman8900]

Just double checking is 8PM (0:33) is a typo correct?

[@Unlimited_Official]

I liked the video my g

[@Ben.Stevenson]

Appreciate you

[@stonethemason12]

Doing it once is one thing...build up to doing it consistently...then make it harder.

[@dantecostanzo]

👍👍

[@BrentlyG_is_the_goat]

This challenge was weird for me because the second night was easier then the first. Mentally I just felt way better for the second half.

[@Dennis-de1ji]

Running shirtless was like a reference to goggins?

[@descendency]

When you run longer distances, if you don't prepare (cover your nipples), the salt in the sweat will rub your nipples raw. It's just easier to run shirtless sometimes.

[@Dennis-de1ji]

@@descendency dude, my nipples know the pain. It is really ducy to run shirtless in my opinion especially for 4 miles. My tits Also wobble a lot cause I'e lost lot of weight so they get easily irritated!

[@bigstock21]

@@Dennis-de1jiwhy does it have to be Ducy? He’s getting after it anyways right?

[@DiggerPrints0814]

So how did the date go?

[@Ben.Stevenson]

haha not good

[@jiricech4893]

Have you ever ran a marathon? I mean without stopping. Was it harder or easier than this challenge?

[@DiggingDeepVlog]

This challenge is way harder. Have you ever woke up every four hours for a run?

[@jiricech4893]

@@DiggingDeepVlog hello mate, many things changed since i have written the comment - i have already run both of it and i actually find marathon harder, but it may be different for everyone

[@DiggingDeepVlog]

@@jiricech4893 goggins challenge is a double marathon almost. Why did you find it easier?

[@jiricech4893]

@@DiggingDeepVlog because of the breaks between each 4 miles. I did not prepare much for any of these chalenges, so i found the marathon harder, because it was not ONLY ABOUT the state of mind. It was hard for mind, but even harder for body, because of my unpreparation. During the breaks i was able to regenerate a bit, what helped me a lot. 😅 and for others, Goggins challenge is difficult because of the sleep deprivation, which was not my problem, because I am able to wake up or fall asleep anytime during the two days, which was a great problem for others. I also did that with my friend, so maybe it got me motivated more.

[@kyleO1]

Can beat Magnus at chess😂

[@DiggingDeepVlog]

Who is Magnus?

[@pranayama-running-Jendrik]

Really good job dude 🔥 I‘ve done this challenge last year too and so I can imagine how you fell during and after this challenge 🫶🏻👍💪 Keep hammering dude „Nobody cares. Work harder.“ Cameron Hanes Cameron Hanes is another very interesting character you should look at when Googins resonates with you 🙏 You wouldn’t be disappointed 👍
