“I don’t think that I’ve done anything spectacular in this whole entire series.” Me sitting on my couch: “oh, totally, nothing spectacular.” 😂 You’re awesome!

Honestly female ultra athletes and their modesty I just can’t
For her to not think she’s an incredible athlete is unfathomable to me. Sally you are the epitome of what it means to be an athlete! I was overwhelmed with emotion to witness your accomplishments. You’ve inspired me to carry your mindset throughout the duration of my life! Sending you lots of love ❤
When Christmas is over but Santa McRae reaches round to the back of the tree and pulls out one last amazing gift! Thanks for this team McRae! Happy holidays to everyone continuing to choose strong 🎄🎁 ❄️ 🎉

Couldn't have said it better myself!!
“It doesn’t need to be marked by medals but it needs to be marked by giving everything I possibly can.” You put into words how I approach each race. I love the strategy of being patient and using wisdom, so crucial in life 💕
I’m in awe of Sally! This feat isn’t something I can comprehend. A marathon hurts, this is unbelievable to me. I run because of the motivation and inspiration from Sally McRae! Great job, I can’t wait to see what’s next! This film gives me chills! ❤

Absolutely sobbing at the beauty of this. Sally was the first to inspire my running journey. She encourages me to choose strong in every aspect of life. Sally, you’re a gift from God. Thank you for being you. Never stop.

You’re such an inspiration. I just finished my second half marathon and it tool 3:40. I’m better then I was 5 minutes ago! Thank you for posting your videos.
Hi Sally! I hope you see this! I decided to start training for a half marathon in September (couch to half marathon, the only “long distance” running I had ever done in my life was a 5k that I did when I was in 5th grade) and I’m using the Nike Run Club app and you happened to be a coach for one of my runs! I remember you talking about how you do ultra marathons and I was like “wow how does she do it. I’m doing a speed run that’ll end up being less than 3 miles at the ends and I am feeling WHOOPED” and it made me feel as though I was falling behind in the training because I was so many weeks in and I still found some of my 3-4 mile runs difficult. But then I found your channel and started watching all your ultra marathons and it opened my eyes that everyone is going to struggle. Everyone will feel behind at time. Everyone will get leg pain during a run. Everyone will need to stop to walk for a little before starting again. Everyone has off days. But there is no reason to back down just because of that. I remember you said “you only have to run at mile pace for 30 seconds. Since I do ultra marathons a mile is so easy!” And I was like “well not for me” but looking back at it, it was! It really was! Because it is easy for ANYONE as long as you have the right mindset. It took me so long to realize that I don’t have to be the BEST at it, I just have to get it done. And that is okay. Watching your videos and seeing you struggle has genuinely helped me so much to learn that when I struggle, that is human nature. And now, I can run 10 miles with ease :)

That hit me right in the feels. LETSGO Vanessa! Keep it up ❤
I don't race, I dont even run but this is one of the most inspiring, motivational films I have seen. It proves we are all more capable then we think we are. Crossing the finish line of life with nothing left in us is a worthy goal. I don't run, but I do cycle long distances..........."patience & wisdom" will be a new mantra. Thank you for giving so much.
Dropped 4 hours ago and already 8,000 of us sickos have watched it. God I love this sport.
The mental fortitude to carry on with wrecked feet early on is absolutely incredible. Knowing you haven’t even started racing and your feet are trashed, and that once racing they will get even worse is a giant mountain to climb mentally
I swear that ultras showcase humanity at it's best. Pushing limits, respecting each other, and appreciating nature. So so cool
Go, Sally, Go! 💛 favorite moments: 3:45 - "I had two words for this race: PATIENCE & wisdom" 20:40 - "we're leaving in first place" (let's go!!!) 28:46 - "I always think about the story I want to tell after a race" 30:28 - "we win because of our mindset" 32:11 - "I want to get to the last finish line of my life and knowing that I gave every ounce of who I am" 32:33 - nothing better than a Sally McRae finish line celebration! the moments that I replay in my mind when I think about how I want to feel at the end of a race! Cannot wait to continue to cheer you on in 2024. You're an inspiration to us all!
This brought me to tears for what human beings can accomplish. Sally you had so many nuggets of wisdom that I won't soon forget, thank you for your inspiration!!!!!!!!

Really appreciate you watching! Thank you!
Sally continues to make the extraordinary look normal. 4 200+ mile ultras in one year is an accomplishment that will rarely be replicated, if ever. Simply unbelievable and beyond awesome! Thanks for allowing us to tag along for the ride this past year, Sally. Watching these adventures made me feel as though I was right there with you and no doubt inspired others as you have me! Much love and respect to you and Eddie! Wish you many blessings in 2024.
15 minutes in and blown away by the quality of this film!
I have only ever run a 40 km “marathon” (only 25 miles), yet I got all emotional watching this video. It feels so personal and so relatable. Mind over body is truly a fantastic mantra. Thanks for the incredible inspiration 🙏🏻
So inspiring! I'm pushing 60, but you inspired me to do at least one ultra before I die.
An absolute inspiration. I hope you can understand the positive change you’ve made in so many lives, just by being who you are. Congratulations and THANK YOU!
The pain that she can endure….. it is beyond my comprehension. Simply amazing
I'm a cyclist, I have watched a tons of ultra cycling videos and films, there's one time I was thinking "if people do the distance by running, that will be totally insane!", the prophet KZread probably heard my thoughts, then I stumbled upon this video. It's really nuts mindblown🤯 I'm amazed by how well articulated you're to express those complex feelings and thoughts you had during the race, it made the storytelling so so so much better, especially to those audience like me who knows nothing about running, able to have a glimpse on what was happening. Truly amazing!
You give us way more than you realize! Thank you for being transparent and encouraging us to keep moving! Stoking the fire of our dreams! ❤
“Feelings don’t control what I do” 🎉
One of the best documentaries I’ve ever seen and that’s saying a LOT.
I always get so emotional watching her race in her videos. I get so inspired by her every day. Congratulations Sally. You earned it!
It's just beautiful to see that genuine hard work pays off at the end. Sally, may all the good energies of the Universe be with you and your followers as well!🙏
Drew + Tyler + Sally + Miles = the only running docs I will spend my time watching. Excellent work yet again y'all

Now we need to see “Mind Over Miles” merch!! You are an inspiration and be very proud of these and any challenge you have worked through. Thank you for sharing your runs and wisdom with us.
Tears. All the emotions..I’m so moved by Sally and her determination. Well done
I have never met Sally, but when she crossed that finish line, she brought a smile to my face and a lump in my throat. The winner inside wants to come out. Thanks Sally!!!
I watched the previous two films on my laptop, and I’m so glad I watched this on my husband’s nice big-screen TV. What a visually beautiful film! You captured Sally’s tremendous journey as well as the raw beauty of Moab. Wonderful!
Great job Sally! I am a 15 year old who runs track and XC as a distance runner and I’ve struggled through injuries a lot lately and your documentaries inspire me to keep running during my recovery and not give up hope that I can get faster again and actually compete. You’re amazing and I hope you know that 🫶
Astonishing. Major kudos to you and your support team.
Oh Sally, I'm so proud of you. I feel like I've come along with you on this journey through the podcasts, book, videos, and now these films. You're an incredible testimony to perseverance and grit. Keep choosing strong my friend, and I'll do the same.
Gracias Sally por motivarnos a todos a ser mejor cada día ! A dar un poquito más ❤🙏🏼 choose strong all day everyday ⚡️
Big congrats Sally! Your motivation and inner power is beyond words. Thank you for the amazing video! Happy new year!🎉
Loved this! You are awesome Sally! I’m proud of you! I met you in 2021 at trail camp and you have continued to amaze and inspire me ever since!
Ahhhh chills! I love these video documentaries so much, Sally you’re such an inspiration, I don’t think you realize the big impact you have on us. Thank you for this ❤
Sally, your journey in life continues to amaze and inspire me to no end. You are the definition of mental fortitude and ultimate steadfastness with yourself in reaching dreams that are incredibly beautiful.
when she crossed the finish line i couldn't help but cry. she is so inspirational
Absolute legend. Just finished your book Sally. Gave me just the wake up call I needed. What a difficult start to life you had, you let it fuel you and not beat you down. Inspiring is an understatement x
You've inspired me to start running and now I've become somewhat addicted to it. This was an incredible feat, Sally! You're such a beast! I think of your words of resilience when I'm about to reach my breaking point, and I keep on pushin'. Rock on, love from Texas!🤘🏼❤

Yassss! This just made my day! Something to look forward to! Love this legendary women!
Another excellent film by Drew Darby… these films go toe to toe, if not exceed the productions we see on ESPN. A true treat to experience this level of quality on KZread.
Love following your journey-you are such an inspiration! Congrats and happy holidays ♥️
Seeing Sally run makes me wish I could run again. I love seeing her. She’s such an inspiration. Thank you Sally for being you and being awesome!❤
I didn’t know the first thing about ultramarathon running and I’m so glad I watched this documentary. I love how the film really lets you into the importance of having mental fortitude ; I also loved seeing how the pacers contributed to the ultimate outcome. Congratulations on this amazing accomplishment and thank you for inspiring us
you're a huge inspiration on my life Sally. Thank you so much for everything you do
Thank you for bringing us along with you and sharing your story. Truly an inspiration. Stay strong Sally!
totally amazing and inspirational. and so humble - what you have done is beyond comprehension for the vast majority of runners, let alone people - and you don't think you're done anything special. you have such mental and physical toughness - i can't imagine carrying on when you've been on the go for 3 days straight, covered over 200 miles and especially when you can't breathe properly. and yet you push on. thank you for this video - it gave me goosebumps and brought a tear to my eye, with what you did.
Discovered your vids only a few months ago and wow everytime I’m in awe and so inspired. Just amazing watching this process and what your body can do!
I got tuned into your videos from your mango Go One More release through Nick Bare and BPN. You exemplify everything Go One More stands for and more. You seem perfect for BPN and inspiring everyone to become a better version of themselves. You're crazy strong and inspirational to us all. Keep on going!
Constantly making me cry tears of joy for you! Amazing example of what we’re capable of and I truly think of these videos often when I’m pushing the discomfort level.
what an absolute LEGEND. so much respect for you Sally. I was audibly cheering by the end of this to see such willpower and strength. To the film makers, this is the most beautiful race video I've ever seen. Capturing the stars above, the beauty of the landscape, and the storytelling throughout. just wonderful.
Congratulations on an amazing 2023!!! Thank you for sharing your journey with us!! So inspiring!
I literally got goosebumps when I read the part where you won the race. I don't even know you but I'm so happy for you! Seriously, the mental strength that it takes to push past mental/physical pain... AND WIN... you are seriously incredible. Just subscribed and can't wait to follow your journey in becoming the best version of yourself :)
Thank you for sharing your adventure with us . Very inspiring .
You are the reason I started trail running. Got my first longer distance (for me) 19 miles. Taking it one race and distance at a time
Where’s the LOVE BUTTON - KZread?? Sally- you are absolutely amazing and such an inspiration to me and sooo many others. Thank you for sharing your journey! ❤️
Another fantastic watch!! Congratulations Sally, you are a beast!! Very inspiring.
Congratulations Sally, it's been a real joy to watch your journey. You are a huge inspiration to all!
What an incredible documentary for such an inspiring and monumental effort. Congratulations Sally!
This is amazing. And that notion of imagining the story you want to be able to tell, the work to pull yourself- in the moment out of the pain- and take control of "the pen" and author your own story despite the discomfort is what makes us tremendous creatures capable of so much more than we realize. Bravo Sally! Bravo for doing that in such a phenomenal way. You ARE an incredible athlete. And you have done something spectacular.
Amazing accomplishments Sally!!!! Truly inspirational and strong 💜💜 another beautiful film loved it.
GRAND stuff as only Sally can do with such an amazing team, wonderful footage and so candid. Thanks for sharing. STRONG
why do i have tears in my eyes when she finished the race. just stumbled upon her videos. omg shes such an inspiration. god bless her
Such an incredible documentary on every level from showing just how much discomfort one can experience during a 200 mile foot race to the beautiful videography, editing, grading and music. You get to really feel like you are there for Sally's journey with all of the highs and lows along the way. Superb win Sally and wonderful job by Drew and Tyler - huge congrats all round.
Congratulations, Sally! Glad to share the whole journey of the Grand Slam with you!!!!
I sssssssssssooooooooooo been waiting for this and it did not disappoint! Congrats Sally and Tyler and Drew out did themselves!
Beautiful film. Thank you for sharing your journey. 💛
I was waiting for this video to drop on your last races. Simply awesome. You show true grit.
These 34 mins felt so short, I guess I'll watch all of these films in one sitting. Congrats to Drew and Tyler for the epic shots and edit! Hope I'll get to run in a Choose strong cap next year! :) God bless you and your family Sally! It's truly a joyful inspiration to follow your journey. 💛
Incredible accomplishment!!! Huge congrats Sally!! You are an inspiration!

Thank you for sharing your amazing journey with us all. The rawness & transparency of each race & how you got through each one shows us that we all have it within us to reach our own goals in life.
Finally!!! So excited to watch

Absolutely amazing! So inspiring Sally. Thank you so much.
Your words and strength go so much further than your running ever will. Thank you for your inspiration! You are such a powerful woman! 💕
Sally you motivate me so much. You talk about hurting to win and it brings me back to winning my 100k race in October. Motivation. You are so strong and congrats on your races. This video is amazing.
Two months ago I watched and commented on the Tahoe 220. What I said then, applies now. Out of the 33:43 run time, your best comment was “on paper, I’m done”. I knew that was your body talking but your will to succeed had a different plan. Once again a monumental, beyond human performance. Truly inspiring.
Beautiful film ❤. I am so inspired by Sally and her journey. Thank you for capturing this and sharing it with the rest of us!
Sally's mental fortitude and positivity is inspirational. Her humble approach, calmness and willingness to share has taught me loads and helped in my own trail running journey. Thank you so much and very well done for the amazing win at MOAB!
Another amazing film by your team!! Amazing job around the table!! I love watching these! They keep me driven to keep going as well! Wishing everyone a happy & hard working 2024!
Unreal accomplishment, the mindset to push through all that and be as positive as you are is beyond inspirational. Was about to take a rest day, but instead I'm packing my vest to round out the year with another run after watching this
I've always loved and admired you as an athlete. After reading your book, Choose Strong, a few months ago I admire you so much more. Congrats on your win! You're an inspiration to all of us!
Goosebumps! So fueled for my 11 miler this morning. Way to go Sally and crew! Incredible effort put forth
What a great video. Congrats and I can't wait for the next one
Tears at the end when all the finish lines were being crossed. Sally, you make the average mom feel like she can accomplish anything. You inspire me so so much!!
This is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing! Congratulations!! So inspiring!!
A true inspiration to us all. Thanks for an amazing journey this year Sally - Can't wait to see what 2024 brings for you
So so so amazing and inspiring, Sally!! 😭💛 You continue do amazing things and as a spectator I wanna say that I’m so proud of you!! Well done, to everyone for this film! #keepchoosingstrong
Inspiring - Thank you for sharing your experience, Sally! That was pure LIFE!!
From Australia, I'm transported into another whole level of dreaming of what can be possible in life. Congratulations Sally and the whole team behind this movie, the gorgeous footage, and this magnificent story. Thank you. Choose strong, right?💪👏💛
