  • Courtney Dauwalter, is considered the world’s best female ultramarathon runner. She might just be the greatest ultrarunner of all time, period. To me, in some ways I see her infectious smile and cheerful personality as a smokescreen, because Courtney’s unrelenting drive to push the limits of human endurance potential in the mountains, belies these fun, welcoming characteristics. Behind the smile and the kindness on a personal level, beats the heart of an absolute and fierce competitor. If Courtney comes off as a lamb, I pity the wolf that hunts her.

    She's been such an inspiration of mine!!! From 325 pounds to 6 100 Mile buckles. And now I'm officially an entrant in the 2023 Moab 240 Mile endurance race. Was just a dream 2 years ago I couldn't run a mile. Now 15 a day is reasonable. Through hard work dedication and cutting off everything in your life except the task at hand and setting your emotion to the side. Then the world becomes your playground.

      Hey man. My name is Faruk Garibovic. I ran the Moab 240 last year and DNF at mile 102. I’m doing the race again this year and as I was looking through the entrants, I noticed your name and age. I was the youngest to ever compete in the race, now you are one of the youngest to compete as well. I have a lot of advice for you about the race if you are interested. If not, good luck with the race and looking forward to seeing you in Moab!

      4 months ago I decided I spent enough time watching my wife spend all her free time training and getting the miles in while I stayed at home with our two little boys,
      They need to see mommy do hard things chasing her dreams and they need to know daddy will support them and their mommy in their dreams as best as possible. Now we chase mommy with a double jogging stroller with both them loaded up for 50 to 80 miles a week.
      Anything’s possible, just gotta keep trying !

    What I love about Courtney, is that even though she’s an elite endurance athlete, she just comes across as a normal person who doesn’t take things too seriously. She just does her best, and it lands her where it lands her.

    And Courtney the Queen of trail running did it 💪💪💪 She‘s unreal dude 🔥🔥🔥 magnificent 🙇‍♂️ She completed it and I‘m pretty sure Courtney wouldn’t brag about it like she behave in this interview 🙏 I think that is because Courtney knows that everybody is capable of it and so in her mind she is nothing special in that regard 😁 For me Courtney is really a big role model how to approach life in general 🔥🔥🔥 Thank you for making this interview Cameron 🔥🔥🔥

    Best interview with her I ever heart. All the correct questions are being brought with great answers although they seem to be avoiding, but instead you get to see how she really evaluates the sport and herself.
    You also just notice that it's more difficult for her to answer with the standard political correct answers because the questions are defined nice with all respect.
    Could be because you also already know each other. Enjoyed every minute!

      You need to listen to Dylan Bowman's podcasts and his 2022 interview of Courtney after her failed Hardrock. He asks far better questions and culled far more interesting responses from Courtney. Further, if you are super into running, Dylan's podcasts are far more interesting.
