David Goggins

Um, when someone ...

Like that David Goggins thing, like, I mean, when people talk about negative comments, I'm like, "Thank you, guys.

It kinda drives me," you know?

Mm.

Um, you know, I just wish that, um, people would look at things through these lenses.

Um, I also think for the generation coming up that were weaned on social media, it's very important that they, uh, realize something that David Goggins has said.

I just feel like it's appropriate to say this right now.

Right now, because most of what's happening online is a consumer-based environment, he, I think he said it's easier than ever to become extraordinary now, that it's hard to overstate the power of putting away the phone and doing some writing or putting away the phone and doing some musical training or putting away the ph- like, it's, and then using social media as a place to put your efforts out into the world as opposed to place your efforts while standing there obliviously in the real world.

And I think that some-

Yeah, like the David Goggins of the world.

Yeah.

I, I, I think that that's, um, that's a gross oversimplification, uh, of things.

And it's just frustrating as someone who like tries to stay really, you know, scientifically evidence based and everyone, I know that's kind of a buzzword, but like, truly like like trying to stay anchored in the latest literature and research and like i don't know where where i yeah i have like i don't know 10 000 followers or something on instagram it's not that many compared to name dropping a lot of follower drop i actually just hit 10k But it doesn't feel like I have that, you know, that big of an audience compared to or that big of a voice compared to a lot of these run influencers and influencers.

And it's like a lot of people are looking at what David Goggins does.

And it's like, no, don't look at what David Goggins does.

He has no clue what he's doing with his nutrition.

yeah or i don't know there's just yeah it it bothers me too what

So it was just an eight-hour loop, just as many laps as you can do, and I ended up coming second that day to...

The winner was a good runner, you probably know him, David McClure.

He's a really good runner, so he beat me that day.

But I trained well for it.

So, you hit the Midgie Fest at St Johnstown or Dalry.

So, what was your plans going into the race?

I don't know what it is, David, but the Midgies didn't come for me.

I was fine, but I could see the Midgies flying through everybody else.

So I don't, I'm not going to, let's say he's not good at what he does.

Do you want to have a good exercise routine and a nice diet? Or do you want to just follow David Goggins? Like they'll both get you in shape.

I just do.

Which one do you want? Yeah.

So there's only one David Goggins for a reason.

So this, I want to get your thoughts on this.

All right.

Marathon runners know this perhaps better than anyone else.

David Goggins, a retired Navy SEAL and a celebrated ultramarathon runner, tells of his experience in running his first 100 mile ultramarathon at the start of his running career.

He recounts how by the time he reached the 70 mile mark, his kidneys were failing, He had developed stress fractures in his lower legs and he had broken small bones in his feet.

And by that point, and this is before he had really trained, the temptation to quit was overwhelming.

So I, so I signed up for the next year, which would be in, you know, 2018.

But in the meantime, I, I had found David Goggins.

I had found Cameron Haynes.

Oh, boy.

for everybody.

Even someone as insane as David Goggins is like a bit softer than he used to be.

He's still crazy, but he's a little softer than he used to be.

And there's a lot of people like that.
