Hard to type at the end, when you can't see the screen for crying. I'm glad I don't have DELXISYA 4:25. Funniest point: 2:59 "Because I love suffering and running with your ugly ass."-What a great video! I run a 50K race once a year. After seeing this, I'm doing 50 miles next year. That might be 20% as hard as 100. I'm 75 but in great shape. For 100 miles, a really good running friend would help.

Marine Corps Boot camp 1983, I watched my best friend from high school get sick with pneumonia. He got a 24 hour medical chit to be bed ridden, Senior DI walks in tells him if he dont get up and fall in formation to train, he's kicking him out. We both wanted to me Marines ever sense we were 9 year old kids, the DI's words hurt me. I ran over to his bunk and told him I wasn't going to make it with out him, please get up. He got up and struggled for a few days but he got better, and we both graduated in the fall of "83". He thinks to this day I inspired him, truth is he was always been my inspiration. We have been best friends for 4o years now. We both feel so fortunate to have been buddy's for all these years. What a great short movie, it made me call my friend. two thumbs up.

guys, 100 miles at 36 hours is a pace of 2.8 miles per hour. It is definitely doable, with training. Sure factor in some breaks, maybe even a couple hour naps, lets just say 100 miles in 30 hours. That a pace of 3.33 miles per hour. It seems like it is a matter of staying with it, despite the pain, fear, doubt etc.....

I turned 43 this year, I’ve always loved running but my shin always give out on me. I made a decision that 43 will be the beginning of great things to come. I ran my very first 10k a week ago, no injuries whatsoever!!! After watching this, I set a new goal for myself, not a 100mile quite yet but a marathon for now. I am the farthest from being athletic but this documentary inspired me so much ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you

[@quaditz]

Also had huge problems with my shins for like 10 years. Solution? A friend of mine gave me a book about proper triathlet technique and in the running chapter it mentioned proper running technique. You HAVE to land on your middle foot. It will make loud, unfamiliar sounds and it feels to be inefficient or bad for your joints at first, but it isnt. Your weight is being compensated by your body moving forward while the foot is on the ground (= force on middle foot builds up over time) + you have some in / out movement of the foot which further increases that time. This combined with proper running shoes from a video analyis = NO SHIN PAIN ANYMORE (but calve cramps maybe if you are not used to this running style, then your calves need to be up first :)). But they are meant to take stress and can build, your shins cant :)

[@JosephWheeler14]

Der Kanal plenty of people get shin splints with proper form. The clinical experience seems to be pointing to weak/immobile ankles which leads to over pronation. Over compensating with stability shoes are only going to make those immobilities and muscle imbalances worse.

[@tonyjaradev]

i highly recommend that you read the book Born to run.

[@dustinmoilanen7912]

@@tonyjaradev I second this greatly. Read this book! Do not use any type of footwear that compensates for a natural weakness your particular body might have. Instead, take time and a patient approach to strengthening those weaknesses naturally. If running an Ultra in your bare feet is a little too far to the extreme for you, great. But, I highly suggest going as far as some zero-drop shoes with a more natural toe-box shape so you can use your amazingly capable feet the way the nature (mostly) intended. I have and continue to cycle through low-weight zero-drop shoes (Like an Altar Superior), Vibram Five Fingers and barefoot....and with each cycle my feet, ankles, legs get stronger, more capable and closer to those of our ancestors. Most importantly the runs get more and more enjoyable!

I guess I replaced the pain pills with food.. now I’m 70 pounds over weight when I used to be a runner and lifter. I don’t eat anymore like that or unhealthy but I sure don’t work out and I lay in bed all day and sleep off and on. Depression has really got to me the past years.. I’m 28 now and have nothing to show for it or anything to be proud of. I lost all I ever had and knew and lost myself. I’m alone. But for the first time this film... makes me feel like I’m not alone becasue I have myself. And I’m all I need. Yeah a best friend would be nice but it’s the inner battle that gets you far. And that love and friendship you have for Jason is amazing and beautiful. And the love Jason has for you!! I’m just gluten to get up.. it’s 3am and I should sleep but in the morning when I wake up.. I’ll get up.. and I’ll commit, and I’ll just keep moving. Thank you so so so much for this incredible film. You have no idea how much you have touched me and changed my life.

Friendship, humor, perseverance, passion and a belt buckle. Well, the fuck done.

[@tuesdaysrunner4038]

Are you sure you can say that on KZbin? People get in trouble and lose their jobs for saying much less...

[@EveRbLssD]

This is so incredibly powerful its scary. It has me seriously contemplating a 100.

[@danpt2000]

Dude.. 100 miles at 36 hours is a pace of 2.8 miles per hour. It is definitely doable, with training. Sure factor in some breaks, maybe even a couple hour naps, lets just say 100 miles in 30 hours. That a pace of 3.33 miles per hour. It seems like it is a matter of staying with it, despite the pain, fear, doubt etc.....

If you look up the definition of 'friend' in the dictironary, Jason's picture is there.

[@JB-pu2li]

When you look up the definition of dictionary in the dictionary, it has a picture of Goggins.

[@LuisGustavo-dk4qy]

I have listened to this 3 times without seeing it (at work) and it always hyped me up. I watched it now and it made me very emotional.

[@bjamiork]

This was beautiful. I got out of running when I left the Air Force 6 years ago but honestly...after watching this, I just want to lace up right now and go for a run. Maybe I will after I take my daughter to school in 4 hours :)

[@TheMrfurrows]

This popped up as an ad as I was watching Ochem tutorials for my final exams....let me just say the lessons and inspiration can be applied to many situations. Heading for an A in O-chem tomorrow morning. 💪🏼

Took me three years to be good at rugby I was shit for three years but then one season I ended up scoring 3 trys in one game and then I ended up being one of the best players in the team

[@mtlewis973]

that bit at 20:50 where he’s just so tired and he can’t find the words to say how much he loves his friend. that’s some real stuff, man. money can’t buy.

[@fschirmer]

Kudos from Germany. Great film, great friendship and great achievement. Keep running

[@SophieKristiansen]

[@thomasschoofs5229]

THIS WAS ONE OF THE BEST VIDEOS I HAVE SEEN. I literally cried at the end when they crossed the finish line...such raw emotion. Wonderful story and cinematography. I am very inspired!

[@heathermalin3588]

When I turned 18 last year, I started running. In march this year, I ran my first half marathon. It was the best thing I have done in my life, it was the proudest I've ever been of myself. Distance running is one of those incredible things where physical and mental preparation has to be put in, there's no way to hash it together on the day. The dedication, determination and drive these people have to do anything as self driven as this, are simply incredible. I hope to continue my running journey, inspired and uplifted by yours. Thank you so much for sharing your story, well done x

I'm racing my first Ultra (a 50k OCR) in August. I'm a little terrified but SO excited. It's gonna suck but Jason's no quit attitude inspires me. Love this.

[@ShakunetsuPotato]

Kate D Trust me, you will love it, even more whe you finish it.

How'd it go?

[@ObesetoBeast]

THIS WAS AWESOME!

[@graucob1306]

Wow. Incredible documentary. Jason is probably one of the toughest people alive, but just as tough as he is, you are unselfish and kind. I can only hope for more documentaries of this sort! Cheers

[@lucasduys8243]

I've watched this bid multiple times and enjoyed it every time For some reason every 2 months or so I get recommended it again

[@crystallanders78]

I just completed my first ultra 50k couple weeks ago with a 50 miler in November coming up. This video inspires me to almost want to do a hundo too. Great job guys! Just what I needed.

How did the 50M go?

Its not often i would follow an ad to like a video. This was very motivational, and for that i thank you.

[@Gentlemanwick]

How does anyone thumbs down this?? Great flick. Nice work!

[@amblincork]

I stopped watching at 7 mins - I didnt realise it was somebody's life story.....

[@2peacegrrrl2]

I too thought this was a bit fluffy - I wanted a real ultra story!

[@amblincork]

Yes - most ultra vids are great and focus on the running rather than being ego trips

[@amblincork]

You found it so inspiring you had use vulgarities ???????

[@Justin5s]

They compared they're race to 4 Marathons.In the title it says how to run 100 miles they did not run 100 miles the lightly jogged and walked 100 miles.That was a cilckbait title i have no doubt that it was hard to do it but still its not a true run.

[@homonym7638]

This was the first KZbin documentary on Ultra Running I saw 2 years ago. Since then I hit the trails and have run 4 of my own mountain Ultras with absolutely no plan to stop. Thanks for inspiring me.

[@sven4289]

I know this is 6 years old but it´s one of the best running documentarys I´ve ever seen.

[@chinablade6371]

This little gem is now one of my all-time favourite running movies. Great job, Guys - very inspiring. I hope one day to follow in your footsteps and bag that 100 miles.

[@hyperborean.]

This the second time I watched this video, and loved every second of it. Very nice and inspiring. What a beautiful and respectful friendship. Good on you guys.

[@Kristin_Soul]

Wow, this video was pure art, inspiring and amazing. What a great job guys producing this great story for the world to see.

[@OGeeB9340]

This is soooo relatable!! I did my first ultra in September. Leading up to it all i could find was videos by pros. So not me! Ugh the pain, the running when you don’t want to, the recovery, sometimes misery but somehow amazing….. this is what I needed to see before the race.

[@MrStradia]

I started running in 2012 just to learn how to run and not hate it. Ran my first 5k that year, then caught the bug and ran my first marathon that fall. Kept running, trying to learn and practice a better form and made it my goal to run injury free, which seemed to be elusive. Talked with a lot of folks and trained with some very experienced runners who were able to monitor my progress and provide key advice. Fast forward to 2014. Ran my first 50k, and then decided to target a century a year later. Ramped back up starting in 2015 and ran my first 50 in May of that year. From there the plan was to keep training and complete the 100 in October. In July I somehow pinched a nerve in my middle back which pretty much sidelined me for 3 weeks and prevented me from completing my 100. From there a digestuve issue, a couple job layoffs and a move back east have pretty much had a major impact on my training. However, it's 2019, and I've reset a goal to compete a marathon this November. This is a huge step, and I've been dealing with treatments for varicose veins, phlebitis,and painful clots. Thankfully, my treatments end this month and I'll be ready to start back. I'm ready to establish a new normal and experience the freedom and exhilaration of running.

Two simple dudes, who simply were to stubborn to quite, showed how simple the world can be (you run or you don’t) and how grinding as well as suffering is a way to success and happiness. I salute you! I’ve enjoyed the film very much. Thank you.

[@tsa_Yama]

Watched this ten times now. Looking forward to running the same race in a few years! Everytime I feel a bit down and out from running I end up watching this video again. The ending never fails to put a smile on my face. :)
