Ashton Swinford: To Be a Better Version of Myself – R4R 313

Can you imagine running a 100 mile race? How about a 240 mile race? Courtney Dauwater is winning races outright (men and womens overall winner), pushing herself harder to levels few can reach. This is one inspiring interview with a mentally tough runner who just wants to have fun and enjoy running. Listen to how she went totally blind with 12 miles to go in a 100 mile race, was falling 8-9 times per mile, but still continued and won the race! We can all learn from this super ultra athlete.

Courtney Dauwalter: Can You Find the Reserve of Strength You Never Knew You Had? – R4R 063

Colin McCourt was an elite British athlete trying to qualify for the 2012 Olympics. As one of the best 800m runners in the country, life was promising, until he gave it up, completely. Over the next few years Colin gained 50lbs, and did not run a step...until a bet with friends that he could not break 16:00 in the 5k by the end of the year ignited a new lease of life for Colin. If he was not to accomplish this, he would have to get 17 tattoos of his friends name on his body. This podcast episode talks about coming back from time off, and just what joy running can bring to you outside of the results.
