  • In today's podcast, I am sitting down with my friend and legendary ultra runner, Sally McRae. Sally most recently won the Moab 240 after completing the "Grand Slam of 200s." She's admired for her mental fortitude, hardcore training tactics, and ability to push through extreme discomfort. Whenever I have the opportunity to talk with Sally, it is not only insightful but also uplifting. I'm sure you will feel the same after listening.

    Very engaging conversation. Getting a precise download of Sally's mindset is always inspiring. There's a lot of truth in the comment about videos emboldening people to try bigger and tougher things. Videos like both Nick's and Sally's, inspired and encouraged me to do Cocodona a few weeks ago, and I couldn't be more grateful. Much respect for showing the rest of the world what's possible. I don't watch every single video from either of you, but I don't miss a single one when you're together. There's an unspoken understanding between people with shared experience that really shines through.

    Over the past 2 years since starting running distance, I have leaned on these two so much. Every video, every podcast. Some people just have that IT FACTOR. That drive, that motivation, that confidence, that grind. Nobody can give you that, you have to find it inside of you. And these two absolutely have that. The true definition of “Mamba Mentality”.

    People pleaser/yes man here. I've only very recently (at 39 years old) started really trying to find what I'm meant to do. I've had to set some boundaries and stand up for myself in some uncomfortable situations with people very close to me. Though it has been terrifying and uncomfortable at times, it has also been immensely beneficial.

    Belief fosters ability. You won’t run a 6:30/mile for a half marathon when you start training, but belief that you will one day (patience, pressure, time) cultivates your body’s ability to do so…if you’re willing to make the sacrifices.

    I think Sally needs to convince herself she is an underdog because that motivates her. But she’d be crazy to think ppl don’t anticipate a top 10. She is clearly a top 10 finisher.

      @@KTravRuNEr Fair enough. But a rising tide carries all boats. She didn’t need to break 20 to be top 10 before. Faster women make faster women. She will hold her own and rise to the occasion. My guess would certainly be top 10.

    Both of you are amazing and inspirational. Both of you have changed my life and the way I train; and what’s more, you’ve reinforced that the way I have trained and coached and continue to do so, is a legit way to both stay fit and to prioritize multiple disciplines and to have fun while continuing to work hard. That said, I am sorry to say that this podcast turned into an ego stroking ping pong match that seemed to lack actual content. You both have so much to offer. But in my opinion this just wasn’t it.

    • @benswain1144
      @benswain1144 Před měsícem +2

      Selfishness is a funny thing. Only thinking about yourself is selfish, but living in service to other people is also selfish. It is just a higher, more refined version of selfishness. In the sense that serving others makes you feel better about yourself. I think the least selfish thing that a person can do, although it sounds very instagram wisdom, is to live the most authentic version of ones self. There is nothing that a person can do that is ultimately not self serving, so you might as well just do your dance and if it benefits somebody else-great!
