Constantly inspired by Sally. I’ve run a decent amount of races, with half marathons being my longest distance. I have severe nerve damage and was told i’d never walk again after breaking my back in 2009. My first half was in April of 2009 and my accident was December 2009. I had planned to run fulls then 50k’s then who knows, but it took me four years for me to relearn how to walk then run and I ran another half in 2013 and over the last 10 years i’ve run and run and run 5k’s, 10k’s and half’s. I don’t know if i’ll ever reach that full distance but i’m going to keep trying and keep struggling and keep suffering. 🏃‍♂️ 💪🏼

It’s not about how long you’ve been doing something, it’s about the work and effort that goes into it. I will continue working hard, thank you.

I started crying when Billy showed you the videos of people encouraging you. The ups and downs of your journey were beautifully captured in this film. Thank you for putting this out for the world to see and be inspired by. Thanks to the filmmaker.

Running isn't really something for me, I'm more into weightlifting and strength, but I truly admire the strength, endurance, and mental power of ultra marathon runners. You guys are mental (in the best way possible).

Whenever I feel extremely tired/sick, I just re-watch this video. It gives me strenght

This documentary is NOT what I expected. The video thumbnail intrigued me. I’m not a runner and the only knowledge I have of running is what I see. I know the will to succeed at something can sometimes outweigh what the body is telling you to do. The mental, emotional and physical state this woman displayed is beyond human. I compared her face at the beginning of the video to the time the medic was treating her feet. It looked like she aged 20 years. An absolute monumental success.

I just completed my first ultra (35 miles) this past weekend. It was beyond anything I thought I was capable of doing. Sally, watching you run this makes me feel like anything is possible. You are an inspiration. I'm going for more.

"Even though we may feel like this is a really bad race, there is still race left"I raced my first 50K this weekend and this was in my head the entire time! You never know what your body and mind can do. Sally you are an inspiration and rockstar

imagine only 49miles left, then suddenly "can you do a hard 35miles with me?" 26:40 that grit, determination... a typical sally!!! truly truly inspirational.. great video content...

"We don't only do our best when things are going our way" Love that! Way to go Sally!!

What fight. So inspiring. It occurred to me halfway through the video, Sally McRae is powered by love - so much going out, and so much coming in. This amazing athlete and person is soooo easy to root for. God bless you, Sally McRae.

Two years ago I did a 90k run with cough...afterwards I was dead for two weaks...coughing blood...so frightening....maybe silly but at this time (also a hard time in my life)maybe it was all I needed...I always had this Dougie Maclean song "I am ready for the storm" in my mind....amazing job sally...so inspiring to watch!!!

The breadth of wisdom from Sally throughout the entire film is priceless. Hard not to get emotional watching this.

Middle of the night for me, but I know what I'll be watching over breakfast!!!

I have no idea how I came to this video. Absolutely f’ing incredible! I cried when you crossed the finish line. My amazing physical therapist, Gwen in Seattle do these races. You guys are at another level. Congratulations! Amazing video and editing.

Beautiful cinematic display of pure willpower and suffering. Very inspirational for the ones that need external motivation. Quite a difference with Claire, female and overall winner that year. No support, no pacers, no film crew, no social media, ...

Thank you Sally. I was preparing my first marathon and was about to give up as I’m going through a period of insomnia, when your video reminded me why I wanted to challenge myself in the first place. You reminded me that is how we stand to difficulties that defines us, and how far we can push our limits if we move past the fear of failing. You’ve been a true inspiration, and I managed to run the full marathon. Thank you so much!

Inspirational would be an under statement. You were incredible, digging so deep, not allowing yourself to quit. Billy, what a master at motivation. Thanks to all that took part in your support and the making of this film, it was so rewarding.

Wow. You're really something. Being in that situation with 30 miles in and still be able to go another 190 miles after that. Inspirational. Thank you. The world needs people like you.

As a 62 year old who wants to run another solid marathon (after a 20+ year gap), I am absolutely loving your commentary on mental strength and resilience!!

I have been preparing to run my first marathon for 1.5 years now. And I have realised I am no where close to it. Highest I can run is 40mins without stopping.. and you have me inspired. What you said really resonated with me. Life is not going to understand how hard I have prepared for this.

Man is it inspiring and awesome to see how tough our ultra running community is...Sally is just a warrior, just so awesome to see her just overcome when everything says stop.

You are truly an inspiration. As a woman in this space, you are someone I look up to whenever I feel that sense of self doubt. You resilience and strength are contagious, and you make me feel like I’m capable of anything I put my mind to. Thank you for being the badass that you are.

aww thank you!

Ok, so I spent 11 years in the Army, and I think the most extreme thing I did was a 60 mile patrol carrying a fair amount of weight, with numerous tasks along the way, 2hrs mandatory sleep, over the course of about 36 hours, made more interesting by badly rolling my ankle after about 4 or 5 miles. Completed it, but ended up going straight to hospital for 3 or 4 days followed by a few months of physiotherapy. Considering how the first sections went, to have the mental wherewithal to continue is incredibly impressive, because when your body is screaming at you, it is only your mind that can keep you going. Very good move to get your blisters treated. They go bad very quickly and you can end up in a world of hurt. Exceptional result all things considered.

Amazing! I’ve never heard of you before this video and I cried when you crossed the finish line. ❤

I was in 2 minds of whether to do Ironman 70.3 this year or not. After watching this video, I know I'm gonna do it. You're the best, Sally. Thank you for inspiring & wish me luck!

I done my first ultra (50k) and it was the hardest challenge I’ve ever put myself through. I can’t even begin to imagine what 100/200+ miles feels like, it’s actually incomprehensible. Sally, I’m blown away by your grit and determination. This whole film is incredible, loved the voice overs too, you can certainly tell a story!

I've pushed my self far and past my limits before but to push through vomiting and unable to eat or drink in a race like this is beyond anything I can comprehend its scary and inspiring and jaw dropping. When she said "don't worry about me I know what I'm doing" I think that was the most intimating thing I've ever heard. This was kind of hard to watch but I think that's because this is an athlete on a level I can't fully wrap my head around.

You are so strong, Sally! 💛💛💛

Watching this gave me absolute chills. Sally’s willingness to endure through everything is truly inspiring. I’m far from being in ultramarathon shape but watching this gives me the motivation to pursue deeper training and embrace the adversity to achieve success.

Superhuman Sally! I thought she’d quit many times but she just kept amazing me. Also, this great third place was thanks to her amazing support system and all the help. You can’t do it at all. And the director of this film, astonishing work, great shots / storytelling and music. LOVED all about this short film 💜

Sally offers so many tools that you can use throughout a race. When I was hitting a wall last weekend, I dug into that bag of tools and was able to completely change my mindset and push hard to get to the end. It wasn't the best finish or anything close to what I envisioned, but I was able to overcome an almost certain DNF and learned a ton about what I can do

Amazing. So inspiring. Congratulations to Sally and the team behind her. Inspiring so many trail runners out there.

Yay! Been patiently waiting for this to come out❤️

Sally you are such an inspiration! I used your podcasts as I trained this summer and they help motivate me thru my first 100km race this past weekend, coming in as 6th woman. Thank you to you and Eddie!!

She is so inspiring. Not just running inspiration. She spits life wisdom. I love it.

The story telling of this incredible journey is a work of art!

Tears tears and more tears. Thank you so much for being who you are and sharing your journey with those willing to watch, listen and be inspired. Your soul is beautiful.

I actually cried watching this realizing that you're totally right about the breaking point and that things always fall into place after pushing through it. Next time I feel like giving up im going to watch this video again. You are an amazing role model, thank you ❤

This is undoubtedly the most inspiring running video I've seen in my life. It doesn't just show you the highs, it also shows you the lows. Which is questionably probably the most important part when sharing stories like these. It gives you the full experience. Even if that full experience is uncomfortable to watch. Which is what we need. Thank you so much Sally McRae for sharing your story with us. And many thanks to your phenomenal camera crew as well for helping to make this possible. I'm starting to seriously consider getting into trail running and a video like this is exactly what I needed!

I raced the longest and hardest race of my life last week. Endured more than I though I was capable of and finished strong. Watching Sally finish made me cry and the full emotion of her achievement and my race last weekend came out. Well done you! Inspirational.

Sally, you are endlessly inspirational. You are a true testament to phenomenal mental fortitude, human spirit in the most dyer of circumstances and all around an amazing human with an incredible life journey.

There are people out there like Sally who have no idea of the impact they have on other's lives. Ultra running teaches lessons that nothing else in this world can teach and to have Sally push through what seems impossible and then have the humility to share her experiences, narrated with the most amazing quotes, is something to behold. I want to thank you Sally for the running lessons and life lessons you give to us. You are an inspiration to the world and you keep showing us that our creator has done something amazing within each of us, but we have to work hard to tap into it and BELIEVE. May you be blessed, protected, loved and happy. This was an incredible achievement after a long fight to the finish line, and a very emotional watch for me! Thank you for this!

That was an incredible watch. Truly unreal watching you push past your own boundaries and finish so, so strong. Absolutely smashed it!!

Sally, I’m so beyond proud of you!!!! I tear up watching you because you motivate so many around you and you don’t quit and you push to levels many will never feel in their lives because they don’t dig deep and push to a level that is deeper than discomfort. You never let that voice win and you push hard when everyone else would throw in the towel. This generation is lacking humans that can embrace the discomfort and push even harder in those dire moments to achieve a goal for themselves or their loved ones. I’m so happy that I learned about you from Nick Bare and the team at BPN. As a runner myself I know the discomfort, I know the voice in your head that is sometimes stronger than you when you’re deprived nutritionally, emotionally, and physically. I loved every minute of this film and you have a fan and supporter for life 🤙🏽

“Don’t worry about me I know what I’m doing” that was pretty sick, congratulations!

Oh my gosh Sally and you crossing the finish line had me in tears, absolutely inspiring loved watching you. I get so much strength from watching you and hearing you

Sally McRae is someone I just discovered but is a total inspiration for me. I have a major tendency to down play my accomplishments and also hesitate in fear of failure. I’m realizing that pain and even struggle gives you growth. I’ve been running since 2020 during shut down and was a soccer player as a kid but my love of running has completely reignited in me. I’ve only done 5ks but am working to do a half marathon. Life is hard to balance with work and a 6 year old son but watching stuff like this pushes me to be better and be a good representation for my son. Thank you Sally!❤
