I am definitely not a runner but stumbled across Courtney on a podcast, and now follow closely. (2023 was crazy!!) My partner and I talk about the pain cave in all sorts of life areas and are much less likely to shy away from discomfort 😂. The world needs more Courtney!!

I agree! I started running longer distances just thinking about her chipping away at the pain cave!

Courtney is not only a one of a kind elite ultra runner. She is authentic and very humble. What she didn’t say about the 240 mile race that she talked about is that she not only finished, but she won the race… beat all the men and women a like. And not only did she win it, but she won by over 10 Hours!! Yes the second place runner came in 10 hours later! Unbelievable!

She is so amazing! I constantly think about her trying things without worrying about the outcome. It makes me feel fearless

This vlog gave me happy tears, two awesome women.. Yes, you too Lydia x

Inspiring, so inspiring.. Its amazing to hear that even Courtney hit the wall 'oh that wall' dnf and then went forward... I had my first dnf this year and looking back, I was pretty much in dnf mode right before the start... I absolutely could have finished but I had started in negativity and rolled around in it... It taught me so so much.. I am a 40 miler max at the moment but that dnf has made me a better runner, it changed my mental mindset and was so valuable.... It really is (as both you very wise women said) about mindset... Loved this vlog. THANKYOU FOR SUCH POSITIVE CONTENT X

We learn so much more from the failures!

Thank you for listening - and for your mind words. Courtney is an inspiration to all of us!

Doing my first ultra in 2 weeks, great interview! Needed the motivation!

Tēnā koe Lydia, Hello Lydia. Thank you for facilitating this amazing interview. Tēnā koe Courtney - Hello Courtney. This interview was joyful to watch and listen too. Thank you for being you.

This is such a deeply meaningful conversation. Courtney is a tremendous inspiration both as an ultrarunner and a human being. You have a wonderful podcast in terms of the deep meaning of claiming your confidence, Lydia.

Thank you so much! I took away so much for this podcast too!

Listening to Courtney is really encouraging, because she puts her joy of running and the challenge first. I started running a couple of months ago and just wanted to explore and find fun in a situation of "being a beginner" or being "bad" at something. Usually I am a total overthinker and really wanted to just have fun with this. Seeing someone do just that at such an incredible level is confirming that for me. ❤

It is so true! She is such an inspiration on every level. Better to try and fail, right?
