I love that line, “The race is just the beauty contest. All the work & suffering beforehand makes the suffering on race day seem easy”

[@Frandaman84]

Lance and Ken should work together

[@__uorson]

here they did, somehow... no? :)

[@Frandaman84]

@@__uorsonyes I mean in more a regular consistent way lol they seem like they’d compete with each other well

[@2011hwalker]

He didnt really "overcome" addiction as much as switch his addiction to running and exercise....Rich Roll called him out on this subtly in Richs podcast...

[@glennoc8585]

Ken doesn't look like a marathon runner more like a 100m sprinter.

[@BrianNassar]

I knew there was so much more to Ken than I had thought. What a fantastic episode!!! Both of you are incredible people. Thank you

[@__uorson]

glorious interview. what a soul, ken. lance, you are really good at this.

[@running4fun863]

what an amazing Podcast , why are men so open compared to women.

[@bruceh5933]

This was so good, I laughed out loud a few times. I’ve never heard of Ken before this so I had to come to KZbin to check out more

[@531c]

Wow. Inspiring or what! Thanks for the show chaps, learnt a lot thanks

[@dieddf]

Great talk, how great would it be to have had you up against this guy fighting for the yellow jersey at the Tour de France ?! Atomic war ☠️☠️☠️☠️😆👍👌

[@williamkelly1519]

As a sub three hour marathoner, I can say this guy is the absolute real deal.

[@Zale-vj439]

Haven't watched a single thing with LA in it since watching all those TdF races as if to give a s, but turns out was wasting all my time. Well, great things can't last forever. Ended up watching the first 8 seconds of this video. Darn.

[@Frandaman84]

From the Teddy Atlas show, cool

[@LaROSE248]

I follow both of you beasts on STRAVA - Salvador La🌹Great Fkn POD!

[@ritaotoole197]

I follow ken on instagram just cause he’s a runner ,I didn’t know he was from Boston .. I live in Boston , now I like this guy even more

[@joevolpe512]

My niece was adopted from China. She's definitely American and was a typical teen. She had no real interest in her birth parents. My sister tried to get any information but was not successful. She's now year 2 of college with a plan to study in France. She's amazing and got past the tweener stuff.

[@deerwoodretreat]

Was this guy one of Will's friends in Goodwill Hunting?😂

[@aaronbrown3573]

East side , panther pride.

[@bryantdaniels1970]

Love It!!!

[@royoser9956]

Framingham State's hockey team came to play my alma mater Amherst College and kicked our a$$. So I suspect you weren't all that bad a player, Ken.

[@DavidChowlover]

Ken Rideout, righthand man of Teddy Atlas. Loves fighters as he was an ex-prison guard, athlete, top runner!

[@frankgallagher5786]

Entertaining but exhausting to watch! Glad i stopped running six years ago. Swimming and yoga , easy going these days.

[@picodegallo1959]

Hey! What was the watermelon drink??? Thanks. Awesome video.

[@ej2863]

Hope he does the Audio book like Goggins did, great to hear directly from him

[@ivaniliev496]

[@ken_rideout]

Way beyond my abilities.

[@trainwellracewell]

[@Ragnar-Viking]

Old school tough dude. My kinds guy. Awesome

[@loganrideout9151]
