00:02all right let's have you cross your arms look towards me for a second three two the first
00:10athlete that i wanted to spend time with was jim wansley he's widely considered one of the best
00:17ultra runners of all time i'm naturally a bit of a recluse but running has always been a way to
00:23connect with people an ultra marathon is 100 miles long sometimes climbing more than mount
00:31everest in elevation game jim's been a game changer and how people approach these races you don't just
00:39go for a run and become good at it i can't help but think to myself is it physically possible
00:44for
00:44me to endure an ultra i had to get my toe nail removed a couple days ago i love not
00:50having
00:51something else for our races really better okay running something that i've carried with me
00:57since i was a kid we knew right away that you were something i didn't live the most normal childhood
01:05which just meant that which my mom couldn't control in her life she decided to control me
01:09you were dealing with a lot of stuff you're a survivor
01:16i've started to realize how beautiful it is just to get to the starting line alone
01:22the fear of failure is what holds so many of us back from attempting to do things we've never tried
01:30it's wild to think where i might be in life if i hadn't found running and also how many other
01:37athlete
01:37stories started there these athletes taught me winning race is far from the point of running one
