David Goggins Video

One of the toughest Ultra Runners, Navy Seal David Goggins. He ran in the Zane Grey 50 miler in 2007, my first attempt at 50 miles.



"Let me sit here and enjoy the pain"
This was David Goggins'response to his wife when she suggested he get rushed to the hospital after his first 100-mile non-stop run. He had kidney failure, was urinating blood and ran the last 30 miles of the race with all the little bones in both feet broken.

David Goggins can take pain...a lot of pain. He is not your average man. In fact, he is not your average human. Spend time with him and you will scratch your head and ask if you were even born of the same species. Goggins has become a living legend in the world of endurance sports. His story of how he transformed his 290 lb. body into the most fierce competitor in ultra-endurance sports has made him an in-demand motivational speaker. "His race preparation is legendary" said Bob Babbitt of Competitor Radio, who calls him "the Michael Jordan of endurance sports." Google him and see what his competitors say...they praise him as "the most intense guy on the planet," "a beast" and "a warrior".

He is reigning US Champion in the 48-hour run. His first triathlon was the Ultraman World Championship...he did the 260 mile bike portion on a rented bike (because he didn't own his own). He is the only person in the U.S. Military to have completed training with the Navy SEALS, Air Force Tactical Air Control, and Army Ranger School. And, he races to raise money to pay for the education of children of soldiers that have been killed in combat.
