We're obsessed with the Goggins style of toughness: suffer, endure, ignore limits. It's raw, it's visceral & it sells. But...we mistake that for performance. We think pushing through pain is the key to winning. Wrong. There's a difference between performance & suffering: 🧵

Hoy se anuncia un documental de @Transvulcania para @Rakuten en cuyo guión tuve el honor de participar. Gracias @mitjanspau, @airllimos y NSN por la confianza. ¡Fue un placer!

I'm just going to say it: Some of the worst advice on endurance training, VO2max, etc. comes from non-endurance fitness influencers They know enough to be dangerous, but not enough to know they are wrong You're better off listening to a HS cross-country coach.

I watched this video and cried—a cry of release, of catharsis, of love for the broken road to get here. @allie_ostrander created a 10-minute documentary on the Leadville 100 course record, live now. I am so in awe of her art and storytelling, and I’m so thankful for her friendship. 20 years from now, her video is how I want to remember this experience. In April, I was hit by a car while biking. My brain didn’t feel like my own for months after. But something happened in that accident that helped me run freely on those trails. Allie captured it in a way that I didn’t fully process until those tears started flowing. The crux of Leadville is Hope Pass. When I was in the depths post accident, that name felt appropriate. All I wanted to do was climb out of that hole. And I did. Here’s to Hope 🧡🧡🧡 Watch the full video and subscribe to Allie's channel here: youtu.be/B6k6XgHeSCI?si=52qO…

The Pain Cave. Ultras are known for the “Pain Cave,” this mythical place where athletes suffer for hours on end. What I learned after my bike accident in April is that the Pain Cave doesn’t mean “pain” like a head injury or broken bones. It means stripping down the physical artifice of normal life and exposing your muscles and sinew to the world. It’s totally vulnerable, and I (the anxiety-riddled former football player who very few people believed was setting a reasonable goal) wanted to see what would happen when I was stripped down to that vulnerable place. Leadville was my first 100 miler, and I didn’t care when and how I got to experience the Pain Cave. I just wanted to experience it of my own volition, not because of a damn car making a left turn without seeing me. And I learned that I could go into that cave, turn on a light, and find thousands of people giving me love and telling me how I inspired them no matter how the race turned out.  I hope I can inspire other people to do things that mortify them and seem impossible. Because when you venture into the cave and make yourself that vulnerable, I bet that there might be something special waiting for you when you turn on a light 🧡 This video is from the 20% grade on Powerline climb at mile 80. I didn’t want to walk a step of the race, and I was having doubts. I was in the cave. And the believers were with me in this moment, carrying me to a record I didn’t know I could achieve. Thank you to all my cave friends 🙏 Also, on the drive home to our AirBnB after the race, I thought I was dying. It was my first 100, and it felt so strange. I made Megan pull over. She’s a doctor, and she assured me I wasn’t dying. But I wasn’t sure. So I sat there, about to pass out, when suddenly: FARRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTT. I let out a 20-second fart from the pits of hell. “It was just a fart panic,” Megan said. Ultras are the best.

Luke Greenfell-Shaw superó con 24 años un cáncer que le dijeron que era terminal. Mientras hacía quimio acabó una media en 1h20’, se sacó un Master y murió su hermano mayor. Hoy ha ganado la CDH @aranbyutmb y le ha dedicado su triunfo. De lo más emocionante que he narrado nunca

Alguien esperando. Si estás haciendo el Camino de Santiago o el Kumano Kodo. Si estás esperando una noticia, si estás estudiando. Si entrenas para los Juegos Olímpicos o practicas para el baile de final de curso. Este kilómetro complicado pasará.

#TestimoniosQueInspiran Compartimos con empatía y respeto el testimonio de @Eliux07. Tu historia nos motivó a avanzar cada metro. Todas y todos corrimos por la memoria de Oralia, que nos acompañó en cada paso durante nuestra Primera carrera por el #DíaMundialContraElCáncer. ¡Gracias, Ely! Nuestras oraciones contigo. Por la memoria de Oralia. 🙏🏼🕊 #TodosSomosWarriors🧡

💜 Que todos los niños y niñas en tratamiento oncológico, reciban este 06 de enero todo el amor de quienes le rodean. Y que la salud, retorne pronto a sus vidas. 🙏🏼

⛰️ KILIAN VUELVE A CASA 🎙️ “Una de las cosas más difíciles que he hecho nunca”. Ocho días, 177 cimas y 40.000 metros de desnivel positivo. Una auténtica locura en “sus” Pirineos, redescubiertos de una forma desgarradora y visceral. Kilian en estado puro. ● DÍA 1: 17h47:05, 61,29km y 6947m D ● DÍA 2: 19h08:03, 55,96km y 5405m D ● DÍA 3: 15h36:37, 39,52km y 4765m D ● DÍA 4: 17h13:47, 47.15km y 5195m D ● DÍA 5: 38h30, 72km y 7959m D ● DÍA 6: 23h38, 50km y 5246m D ● DÍA 7: 18h10, 55km y 6198m D *En las jornadas 4, 5 y 7 realizó varios tramos en bicicleta 🚲 (un total de 105km) para enlazar sectores. #CORREDOR\ Fotos: Ariño Visuals.

If an athlete bragged about only getting 4 hours of sleep per night, I'd know he wasn't serious about his sport or performance. Yet... in the workplace, we accept this bragging as a sign of someone who is dedicated. The situations are the same. Both are sacrificing performance.

In 2019... Brandon started his marathon journey - Today in Chicago, he ran a 3:43:13 PR!!! (PHOTO from 2019)

If you have a chance, get out on a 400 meter track and do a single lap as fast as you can. Then reflect that Kiptum did that in 68 seconds 105.5 times in a row and in a post race interview suggested he has yet to hurt in a marathon.

Kipchoge's world record goes down. 23 year old Kelvin Kiptum runs 2:00:35 Absolutely insane. New era in the marathon.
