Thank you, I had run 5 Marathons after 50, training now for April 2019 OKC at 68 with one lung gone (cancer) medically cleared to run again. Your one of the voices that helps me to keep training despite the odds and discouragements. Thanks

Hi Bill, that is incredible! And very humbling to hear that my talk has helped in some small way. Thank you.

Congrats but you should probably cut running back to a max of 20 miles per week. Just watched a video on the harmful effects of to much running. (endurance training)

I had no idea a human could live with one lung. That’s crazy. What did they replace it with? That would be cool if you could store stuff where your lung used to be. Like turn it into a camel back or something. Camel lung.

great talk, I do middle distance swimming, but what you said about endurance is very true

I started the video as normal you tube suggestion but this one just gave me a spark I was missing from past few days. A good talk and motivational one "bravo"

YES! Great talk!

Very insightful indeed. In my experience as a cyclist, this comes close to what drives me. One additional factor, however, is distraction from those very questions about the meaning of life. So there's a bit of a paradox it seems. Endurance sports both explores, and distracts from, existential questions.

like Alan watts said, some people have to suffer to experience their bless of existence.

Great ....simply great work

You have given me a new insight. I now look at dieting as an endurance sport. Similar issues arise about pain and suffering and our human spirit to endure and overcome them.

Got me wondering what the limit of endurance sport is, like he said people aren’t impressed by people doing marathons or even iron mans now. Soon people wont be impressed by people doing 100 mile runs

Scott Cockburn I recently ran a self supported 314 mile run from Kentucky to Georgia to find out my limits. Nothing but what I could carry on my back. 3 pounds of gear. And water was usually 4 pounds. And I didn’t reach my limits. I finished in 8 days. The winner in 3 days and 14 hours
