In the video, I share real stories from our community. Runners who’ve experienced breakthroughs at every level.
Daniel, who said, “it doesn’t really seem fair to run this way” after setting PRs from 5K to the marathon at age 51.
William, who qualified for Boston at age 70 after decades of injuries.
Ayako, who went from being sedentary for 50 years to completing a 50-miler within 3 years of starting to run.
You’ll also hear insights from Eliud Kipchoge on enjoying your training, Courtney Dauwalter on checking in with your body, and Kilian Jornet on why consistency creates breakthroughs.
This is probably the most comprehensive video I’ve made. And I’m excited to share it with you.
After you watch it, I’d love to hear from you. What part resonated most with your own running journey?
