- TRAIL GRIT, EPISODE 2
Josh Rosenthal is on a journey back to the 100 mile distance. He's only finished 1 out of 8 attempts but he's not discouraged because ultratrail running is so compelling.
He is as motivated as ever to get back.
In this episode, heI do a fitness check about 4 months out from Zion Ultras to see how things are coming along.
Not good, not bad.
Special thanks to Merrell, Mad Moose Events/Dead Horse Ultra, Roam & Run Co., Seattle Gummy, and Ultimate Direction for helping make this happen.

Holy crap this deserves more views! Phenomenal story-telling, cinematography, and a relatable/authentic individual. Nice work Josh and crew, love what you're doing with Borderlands! Really rooting for you and your upcoming Zion 100
Wow, thank you! In due time! Thanks for the well wishes. I’m beyond stoked!
this is the most underrated and under-subscribed trail running youtube channel ever. incredible video.
High praise! Tell your friends! :)
Great story. Really needed to hear this and watch this. I ran my first race (half marathon) in 5 years yesterday. Was doing great, ran my first ultra, and then have had several years of craziness. 2 car accidents, insomnia, major depression, life. Decided to give running another go this year. It wasn’t pretty but this documentary gives me inspiration to keep pushing through.
I love it. There’s a great healing power that comes from pushing ourselves at whatever distance. Good luck in your pursuit!
@@borderlandstr Absolutely! Thank you!
Huge shoutout to you all the way from Ireland. Absolutely love your videos and the whole Borderlands ethos! This is what ultra trail running is about!
Thank you!! Huge compliment. ❤
I could not agree more. This was spectacular!!
Thank you!!
We released episode 4 last week as well!
Love the honesty. As well with the doubt and the questioning of yourself that is so familiar. Way to go!
Thank you!
I just found your videos- love them! Finally a real runner with real struggles that we all face! I just did my first 50k in October and was DFL...I had a plan, but my mind got out of control for the first 15 miles I was pretty much panicking about how far I had to go. I swore I'd never do another one, but within 24 hrs I'd chosen my second race. I knew I'd let my mind get out of control and from all my experience and research I've done over the years- its the mind that's the most important. You can force your body to do almost anything if your mind is strong. During a race, sure, you're going to have negative thoughts creep in, but how you speak to yourself EVERYDAY is so important. You aren't the worst runner- you complete distances I dream of doing (and one day I'll get there) Don't talk negatively about yourself because subconsciously you're affecting your performance. At least, that's my two cents, but I'm no expert. LOL Good luck!! And thank you for the videos! 😊
So good! Thanks for sharing. You’re absolutely right. It’s so much more mental than one would think!
This is the most relatable series in the history of trail running videos. Thank you for sharing your journey with us!
Wow. Thank you! I really appreciate that.
So good! The honesty and look into not only the highs, but also the real lows is unprecedented. Here for it.
🤜🤛
Congratulations! From one trail runner to another: get out of your head! And don’t go in there alone. 👊👍🏃🏻♂️
Well said!
Nice work, Josh! So happy SGC is helping you get to your goal.
Me too! Really enjoying it!
What a great story! Playing a small role in your race was a highlight of my day! Let’s go Zion!!!
Thanks, David! So good to have you out there.
So good! Smashed it brother! 💪🏻⚡️☠️
THANKS!
What a relatable video. Man. Congrats on pushing through the darkness.
I appreciate it!
Let’s goo!!!! It’s was great seeing you out there!
Same! See you at Zion?
What a great video!!
Trail running is a big journey in all race we can learn something new, keep going!
🎉🎉🎉 Thank you! It’s like a college degree in resilience.
Nice work Josh! Great story. Looking forward to following along in the journey.
Thanks!
Love love love it! Im NZs worst ultra runner, I totally relate and your honesty is just awesome. Thank you
Thank you!! I’m glad you’re loving it! That means a lot.
fun to watch! I don't think we met on trail but I finished 11h26min just ahead. Had cramps at mile 13 and ITBS that started at mile 17 till the finish. Race kicked my ass but crossing that finish line just as the final light fell was magical.
Great perspective. Finishing that late have us the stunning twilight.
“Be nice to my friend Josh.” Talking to yourself in the 3rd person, gives some space, and allows you to detach. Love your focus, #nopodium. My body is a reluctant participant in the ultra running journey, and I have almost as many DNFs as I do finishes, but I keep trying. #gratitude. 0/2 on the 100 mile distance, 0/2 in the 50 mile, have completed a couple of 50k , 60k and 1 -24 hour.
Thanks for the comment! Keep going!
Love it 👠👠👠
Thanks! I'd run a mile in heels.
Hahaha...I don't know if this is good or not but you're so relatable to me and my mind. Well done staying with it until the magic happened! Love it when the magic shows up!
Thanks! You're right, I'm not sure if that's good or not. At least we're not alone!! Thanks for the comment.
I also ran this race! Congratulations on finishing and best of luck in Zion!! Keep training hard and being strong, you can do it!!!
It was a perfect race day! Thanks!
Inspiring video! I wish you luck on your next 100-miler attempt! Having watched my wife train for hers, I have an idea of how hard those can be. Kudos on your efforts!
I got so nostalgic watching this video, too. By the way, the bacon steakburger pizza is a winner, with my family (and I always get to eat the pickles, since no one else really likes them).
Haha. It is great pizza. Thanks for the compliment!
Super fun to watch this now especially after knowing how it ends! (Spoiler alert).
You are rapidly becoming the Don Quixote of Ultra running 😂😂. Congrats on the awesome content and brand. All of it is awesome and incredible engaging.
Thanks man! And now I need to read Don Quixote!
@@borderlandstr “When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?” “To dream the impossible dream. That is my quest”. He’s also probably the least elite knight who ever existed. It came to me as I was listening to you talk about getting a 9 hour 50 miler. (A week ago I honestly thought you and I could finish Zion in 26😂)
It’s hard to shake the yuckies sometimes. Way to push through!
Absolutely right! Thanks!
Texas Doesn't Suck
Ha. Agreed. I was born in brownwood, lived in ft worth for 11 years and Lubbock for 7. I miss it frequently.
What was the brand of shirt he said he was wearing ???
The collared running shirt was the Bless Up shirt from Run Amok.
I'm going to make a shirt that says "East Coast's Josh Rosenthal" and wear it until I get a cease and desist order😂🤣 maybe I will get some likes and sponsors🫠💩💀
😂 😂
