That being said you have to also remember he says that he doesn’t mean to be an exact blueprint of a workout plan, or how to run a marathon. He admits most people shouldn’t want to damage their body the way he has.

She is my inspiration for my mindset that maybe we should just start making things simple and not wasting energy thinking about it and just trust ourself to figure it out. - Do, not think. - Get to your scary part faster and then make friends with it. - When your in a situation, get to the facts and control what you can control.

It's a choice, so you have to feel all the nature, the people, the views, the energy...). Basically, nobody is forcing them to do this and they are thankful for the opportunity that most of the world will never experience.

She's right. Training by the numbers and always striving to meet those goals is a sure fire pathway to burn out.

What I have learned is that she never judge anything, anyone and she never takes things too seriously. What a role model.

“I had a lot of fun being a robot” beautiful

She brings a whole new perspective to running. Its more of a spiritual experience. I'm inspired!

Never miss a workout on the plan... cuz there's no plan.... huh. I like it. She's so humble. Have fun, learn, go... repeat.

Courtney is living proof of what we all have in our hearts !! Deep down we know this that's why we love so much to hear her because something within our hearts resonates to that truth of FUN. The planning really well, working hard hard and winning works! But at the end of life Courtney will have had a looooot of FUN every day every training, every race and WIN while others who also WIN but they missed a lot of fun while stressing on planning, ticking boxes geting dissapointed or very frustrated for not keeping up with the plan, losing race. It same as making money. It can be fun or it ca be a lot of stress, fear, frustration. Some people win a lot of money just to prove themselves or from fear based motivation. While others just want to have a lot more fun in life. Build a business from passion, build a happy unified efficient team, enjoy serving their clients. JOY, FUN is a choice. Right? Give a like if u agree.

Courtney + Goggins = Epic. Bring them together.

Been a fan of hers for years. This girl is like a machine. This girl runs a 100 mile ultra to warm up for UTMB? Insane.

Haven’t watched your show for 2 years… Courtney brought me back! What a human🙏🏾

After running 60 ultra marathons myself, I can relate and agree with Courtney that listening to our body and paying attention to perceived effort is key to being fulfilled in ultra running.

Love how you're the first podcast host that's not letting her sneak by with not answering questions!! Nervous laughter

It’s the old adage, “if you fail to plan, you succeed” 😂

I find it interesting Rich finds it unbelievable she doesn't have a coach or adhere to a set training schedule. Other ultra athletes like Kilian Jornet, hasn't had a coach for over a decade and also has the same philosophy of training as Courtney. Dean Karnazes is the same as well in determining what he does by how he feels, and also hasn't had a coach. Perhaps this shouldn't be viewed as super unusual, but why these endurance athletes are in fact so successful - they know their bodies and limitations well enough to not only prepare properly for these events, but be the best.

She’s a great problem solver. She figures it out as she goes. She’s a pleasure to listen to and she inspires others with her mindset.

Courtney is my spirit animal. She validates my bean burrito and gummy worms diet. Love listening to her talk!

Over-planning is a recipe for letting yourself down. Just do you and life will come to you. Keep inspiring people Courtney and keep having fun!!!
