@@tillsenShe acknowledges that her husband does all the thinking and planning. Plus all the help with nutrition which is a HUGE thing to actually get right. I do understand it can sound funny at times but she only says it in the most humble way. Peace.

She just “gets it.” It’s so rare when an athlete not only has her once in a generation level talent, but she also has the self awareness and personality to match. Nothing controversial about her, just a focus on rational positivity and excellence.

The most fascinating thing about Courtney is how she handles (and explains) the psychology of her running approach. She has found a way to enjoy the agony of pushing herself to the limit (which never seems to be the limit). These races are pure agony.

Congratulations on such an impressive win! So talented but yet so humble and appreciative. Best of luck at Hardrock!

Love Courtney. Great interview and unbelievable time! 🎉🎉🎉

My new athletic hero. She was amazing from start to finish and smiling all the time. The top women were all crazy strong. Oh and #2 broke the previous record too. Wow. Just wow.

Such a great ambassador for the sport. I remember running pikes peak with her a few times before she got famous. Just such a natural runner - who has built on that with such incredible focus and effort.

What an attitude. She doesn’t even mention winning at the end, just making it to the track. And you could tell she bristled a little at the Eye of the Tiger comment. A very interesting person and unconventional athlete.

Courtney makes it REALLY hard to route for an underdog! 😻

She avenged her DNF in savage fashion.

Mega-Congrats Courtney! Wow- what a race!! So inspiring. Wonderful interview you two. What synergy.

She's so humble and seems like a nice person. It seems insane that she's going to go for it again in just 3 weeks. I hope physiologists are working with her I'm fascinated by what the human body can do under intense stress like this

This was a great interview! Amazing questions that really catered to Courtney’s outlook and personality!

She will always be on the Mr. Rushmore of Ultras! Awesome stuff. I love following her journey. She's truly an inspiration! She has opened the door and put a spotlight on ultras.

One of the top ten ever iRunFar interviews!

SHE IS ALREADY SUCH A ICON! What a beautiful soul!

I love her! I loved hearing what went through her mind and body during the race. I was so mad when her interview was cut so suddenly right after her win. It was midnight for me and was waiting for her to finish and hear her, and she didn’t have the chance because of the rest of the man were finishing their race. I get why they did it, but I hated it. She accomplished something unbelievable. She has set the bar super high now for the rest of the women field.

THE GOAT!!! So humble and down to earth.

Agree on the love of the "we". So unlike the outsized declarations of the Hollywood folks at award time always saying "thank you to MY producer", seriously? as if they own folks. Courtney gets what is really the deal with living a good fulfilled life, hands down :)

Such class!! I absolutely love her!! Congratulations, Courtney!! You are amazing and such an inspiration!!

Great interview! Love how Megan doesn't press her like other interviewers about how she 'must' be aware of how great she is and how she 'must' be calculating her splits and just not just running by feel--despite courtney repeatedly saying no, and them apparently not taking her seriously. Feel like we hear so much more detail from her in these lovely irunfar interviews than most others. :) Thanks Megan and Courtney!

So true, I really love Megan's interview style and the dynamic between them. I've noticed something similar at the trail running world championships in Innsbruck some weeks ago. Most interviewers have asked the same kinds of questions, oftentimes digging into things not going perfectly for the athlete who seemed to feel quite uncomfortable, only giving short answers etc. And then there have been some Austrian dudes who run a running podcast who were just celebrating this great sport of trail running with the athletes in their interviews, being nice and appreciative about their achievements, getting them some beer etc. And guess what: they laughed, talked a lot, provided many details, shared stories and so on. It was so nice to see and I don't understand why so many sports interviewers are behaving in this dickish kind of way.

That was by far the best Ultra performance I am aware of. Truly history-making. But let's contemplate the remote possibility that Courtney Dauwalter might win Hard Rock in three weeks. How huge would that be?

There have been moments in the history of sports where a generational performance transformed the sport, its so called barriers and open the door to incredible periods in those sports. Roger Bannisters sub four min mile, Eliud Kipchoge sub 2hr marathon and now Courtneys performance at WSER 2023. This moment in time will be forever remembered for what women CAN do in the sport of Ultra distance running. All previous believed myths have been removed. Amazing performance Courtney and Team.

His year of "preparation" all over the world, with a catastrophic environmental footprint, has a terrible result...

Hey Eric - depended on aid station. At Devils Thumb she for sure stopped, refueled, water and iced down. At Forest Hill she stopped along the road before the aid station with her crew and then just ran through - which is why it looked like she didn’t stop and then at Pointed Rocks - just a bottle switch since it was like 6 miles left. So she got what she needed for sure.
