I wonder if there is one thing in her diet still or one thing she’s not saying or it’s her long time in training… rich did a great job digging some gems out .. I saw a few of her interviews - she’s very pregamed for them mentally she’s great a not saying too much or wrong thing - def elite human
@Randy Lahey also it may not be if you get there incrementally …. I mean you may grow into it.. I think I’m her case that’s definitely large slice of pie
My furthest a year ago was 6 miles. I randomly went out one day and did 10. Couldn’t walk for a few days 😂 now I run 40-60 miles per week with back to back weekend runs of 10-20 miles and barely any soreness afterward
@@phillipjacowski I started with 12 miles for my first week. 6 was my long run. There’s a book called Running your First Marathon by Andrew Castor. That will help a lot. You can also go based off of time and build that way. Research progressive overload with running and the 3 weeks on 1 week recovery rule
She is like Alex Honnold. Doesn't think too much, just smiles and does her thing. That's the mentality that can make you do great things, but what is much more important is it saves you from stress.

@@laurafasc6926 hilarious to see someone talk down on someone else without citing an instance. Criticism is fine, but you cant throw shade without an argument. It's extremely disrespectful. I would read any criticism of any person, and it's fine with evidence, but what you just did is really stupid.
Her approach and where she's at says it all. We have such an addiction to analysis, preparation, trying to figure things out. Which mostly, all resides outside of the present moment. Spend more effort doing and less focus on trying to figure it out. Courtney may not even realize that she's a zen master😂🧝♀️🧘♀️
I was reading a book about "Happiness"(and how to be happy) last night and just gave up reading the book. It was exhausting and I was only a quarter of the way through. Listening to Courtney on my run today reminded me to connect with the emotional pleasure and fun of running. Just be and enjoy.
My thoughts also, I suspect there's an inverse correlation between how others see your process and your internal metronome; sure hope nobody ever convinces her to follower the analysis-paralysis route. Keep winning Courtney and leave the rest to the Scientists with their reagents!
Static training plans are uneffective, they only act upon performance loss or increase delayed or not at all. Also it kills your fun for what you are doing... with basic boundaries and a driven attitude you get further in my opinion.
Rich is very curious about her process and I can see him try to pick her brain more but that's what happens when you talk to a natural, her answers may seem basic or unsatisfactory to those who need more analysis. I saw her in Joe Rogan and it's the same, genuine answers, and she's not scared to tell people about her "basic" process.
This is especially a problem in the age of TH-cam influencers where they have these fitness channels with hundreds of videos that obsess over every minuscule detail of exercise to get you to click on their videos. In reality it only needed to be like a dozen videos but they'd stop making money if they stopped making content thus the vast sea of useless information.
See how we have this "need" to break her apart and find why Courtney is so good??? She's so good because she is in touch with her true nature. The human mind just doesn't want to hear that. What an amazing human.
I love how Courtney has this presence of just figuring it out and and trusting in herself to figure it out that Rich will never understand. With his attempts to shoot out his perceptions and fears onto her, she just has such a innocent answer that you can literally see his brain not conceptualizing. She is my inspiration for my mindset that maybe we should just start making things simple and not wasting energy thinking about it and just trust ourself to figure it out. - Do, not think. - Get to your scary part faster and then make friends with it. - When your in a situation, get to the facts and control what you can control.
Totally right? I found him a bit patronising (I’m sure he didn’t mean to be), almost like he couldn’t compute her method and mindset. She’s got the right vibe alright….
Me: it's drizzling a bit outside, maybe I won't go for a walk after all Courtney: goes blind during race ten miles from finish line and finishes anyways What an incredible person. Very inspiring.
Courtney's definitely one of those who's inspired me along the way, her personality is so down to earth! Did my first 50k this jan, hoping to do more soon!
Courtney is in my opinion probably the most wholesome person in any sport. Amazingly positive attitude, down to earth, and such an amazing athlete. Such an inspiration and a person everyone should strive to aspire to be like!
It's called "gratitude". Courtney is a great role model for that. As Camille Bruyas stated in her post UTMB interview when asked how she was smiling so much along the way: "I decided to run. It's a choice, so you have to feel all the nature, the people, the views, the energy...). Basically, nobody is forcing them to do this and they are thankful for the opportunity that most of the world will never experience.
Cut out vegetable oils and all carbs, even potatoes, but keep all the low carb veggies of course. Also cut out all sugar of any kind except for lower sugar fruits. Probably too late to reverse most of the damage, but I Guarantee you will feel better than you have in a long time.
My dad ran for decades from his mid 20's until his 50's. In his 60s he started having knee issues and the Dr. told him the arthritis in his knees was so bad they really needed to be replaced. about 3 years ago he got on his bike a rode a little bit. He now cycles regularly 20+ miles at a time and has 0 knee issues while doing it. Give it a try!
Courtney is like an artist really. I'm a musician and you can do music mired in the theory and obsess over what notes you are playing, or you learn it and then throw it all away at a conscious level because you have internalized it all. Then you make art. I think this is similar where Courtney has transcended the details and data and is so in tune with running that she is now just creating art in motion.
I think there’s more to it than just running past the hurting. The art analogy is really applicable, especially if you apply the following definition of art: “ a skill at doing a specified thing, typically one acquired through practice.” She’s mastered the art of what she does because she really puts in the effort but she even uses the word “joy” …I haven’t seen many athletes with her aura
Being happy is so important to being successful. Courtney is a perfect example of that. So many talented people fail because the heart and happiness isn’t there.
I don’t subscribe to goggins BS. Sure he runs far and works out hard, he also had a fragile ego, gets his feelings hurt and acts like a baby all the time. His story is a sob story ( we all have shit on our lives) I don’t like his attitude and think he is pretentious. Courtney is too genuine.
@@philibertorodrigo7118 I think they are both genuine in their own ways. Of course Goggins in fragile he tells people all the time he is. Atleast he’s honest about it. I respect honesty. His motivation to push himself is to push past his emotional ego. I have nothing but respect for that. That being said you have to also remember he says that he doesn’t mean to be an exact blueprint of a workout plan, or how to run a marathon. He admits most people shouldn’t want to damage their body the way he has.
“People often sell themselves short, and setting the bar lower of what they could actually do if they went all in.” Rich thank you! Loved it-love her smiling energy, her incredible strength-from-within, and her humility. She is indeed a beautifully inspiring human being 👌🏻💖
I kind of wish they would go into this topic deeper as it's really fascinating to me. How to manage the negative voices better. I need some more Courtney wisdom on this.
What I have learned is that she never judge anything, anyone and she never takes things too seriously. What a role model.

Finally! The Joe Rogan interview with her after the Moab 240 is one of the best interview on the whole internet (not sports related). I go over it over and over again, the energy is just amazing! Now another interview done the right way - great mics, long, intense and by someone who knows what they are talking about - great!
This chick rules, man. So non-nonchalant. I saw her on Rogan talking about her diet regime - it's mostly tacos and beer lol. Just proves it's all in the mind and she has transcended.
I had never met a sage before, then Courtney Dauwalter appeared, not in an hallucination, rather in a podcast with Rich Roll. As I enter the world of Ultra Running as a professional athlete age 57, this was priceless. Thank you to you both.
When she talks about not talking about how good or bad things are going, as well with Rich talking about the Iron Cowboy, saying all is good. It goes back to what Chadd Wright talks about with the power of the spoken word and how you can fall apart if you say something is hurting or are bad.
Thank you! This brought me back to the Chadd Wright podcast too. That was one of my biggest takeaways from one of Rich’s podcasts that I’ve applied myself. Awesome to hear Courtney basically say the same thing
Courtney is living proof of what we all have in our hearts !! Deep down we know this that's why we love so much to hear her because something within our hearts resonates to that truth of FUN. The planning really well, working hard hard and winning works! But at the end of life Courtney will have had a looooot of FUN every day every training, every race and WIN while others who also WIN but they missed a lot of fun while stressing on planning, ticking boxes geting dissapointed or very frustrated for not keeping up with the plan, losing race. It same as making money. It can be fun or it ca be a lot of stress, fear, frustration. Some people win a lot of money just to prove themselves or from fear based motivation. While others just want to have a lot more fun in life. Build a business from passion, build a happy unified efficient team, enjoy serving their clients. JOY, FUN is a choice. Right? Give a like if u agree.
After running 60 ultra marathons myself, I can relate and agree with Courtney that listening to our body and paying attention to perceived effort is key to being fulfilled in ultra running.
I thought the same! Glad to see someone else did too. Her intuitive and easygoing attitude is the embodiment of wu-wei, effortless action. Don't think or analyze or plan-just Do. Adapt continuously to each moment and drop all notions of what the moment should have been. What an inspiration!
In cycling and triathlon the search for marginal gains in aerodynamics, equipment, training and nutrition are critical. The simplicity of ultrarunning must allow this level of simplicity to work. She is clearly naturally talented. If she had coaching and more organization I would imagine she would be just as good.
I watched other interviews with remarkable people who are literally genius in their field and the same thing happens just like with Courtney - interviewers try to find the secret that makes them special, only to find that these incredible geniuses have no secret besides this is literally who they are! This thing that they do is the direct result of who they are. They are simply better than everyone else. For example, see Magnus Carlsen's interviews (best chess player of the last couple decades and arguably best to ever play the game).
She loves what she does. I've learned a lot with her. Her approach about pain cave is amazing. Thank you Courtney and Rich Roll for this amazing podcast.
Great mindset. Courtney you gave me something I can actually use to be my best when it’s hard or scary. Sometimes the “ must do’s” create so much resistance.
Great interview! I always knew she was an amazing athlete, but she's a really cool person too. She cracked me up repeatedly. I'll never be half the runner she is, but she encourages me to push myself..." if I thought THAT was too hard and I did it, what ELSE do I think is too hard that I could do?" A great principal to live by!
Rich, you nailed it in choosing Courtney for this podcast and the analogy of her making it look as it DOESNT need to be complicated, it is definitely refreshing to see her attitude among top human athletes. She is a true inspiration to me for years. And I found her podcast here because you are as well. 2 Masters of their domain having a beautiful chat.
My favorite podcast to date! Probably because Courtney is my favorite runner in the World! I would love for you to get Tia Toomey on now that she is 5x CrossFit Games Champion & won more events than any male or female… plus she seems to be a awesome human being!!!
I really enjoyed this chat. What a wonderful and enlightened mindset Courtney has. I am currently going through cancer treatment…I believe this attitude will be very helpful on this marathon of sorts. Thank you for the inspiration 🌸💜🌸💪🏻
The Queen of the Pain Cave. Such a great interview. I can see where being a science teacher fits with her analytical approach to problem solving in the events.
Sweet beautiful soul💓. I would have loved to have her as a science teacher. Was one of my favourite subjects. Keep going Courtney. You are an amazing soul. Love your energy. Thank you
One of my all time favorite podcasts. This interview literally changed ny running game! The pain cave, staying present, and her authenticity. Sitting with the veggie green king and saying she eats, jelly beans! Lol , Rich says Jelly Beans😋 Thank you Rich Roll you have inspired and added so much value to my life with the knowledge and people you share with us in your interviews 😃❤ Be well.
Really loved here mentality for running, when she says that she is LOOKING for that feeling, the pain cave. She's not afraid of the unconfortable, she seeks it. Mind blowing stuff :))
Prior to this episode, I did not know who Courtney Dauwalter was... Her perspective on pain (The Pain Cave), really resonated with me. I really really really like this and while on the mountain running today, I practiced looking forward to reaching that point, instead of resisting. This mindset is taking liberation to another level! Thank you Rick and Courtney!
I hope you read this .... I watched you being interviewed by Tom Bilyeu and you commented that you needed to "step up your game " after viewing his studio etc.Well you have more than done that !!! The whole setup ( black background , brown table , green chairs etc all blend together so well ) and its an absolute please listening to your soothing voice and intellectual questions. CLASS ACT comes to mind .. congrats on leading the pack now.
Great interview of one of my favorite humans on the planet. We all can learn so much from Courtney, both from her remarkable accomplishments and her attitude toward life.
She’s actually my hero 🥲 “I was enjoying being a robot”. That’s such a childlike and playful mentality, she’s legendary. These runs are literally her playground and I totally aspire to be that way 🎉 ❤
This is just so much fun to listen to. I stumbled on this, didn’t know Courtney, I’m barely a runner let alone annultra runner. Really amazing energy. Love her attitude and RR’s interview style. Thank you
"I'm not laughing, I'm just awkward". I felt that.
Not an elite runner. She’s an elite human. Inspiring
Truth
@Randy Lahey What's unhealthy about being an elite human?
@Randy Lahey so is drinking and smoking which most people do in their life, ultras are hard on the body but she knows what she's doing
I wonder if there is one thing in her diet still or one thing she’s not saying or it’s her long time in training… rich did a great job digging some gems out .. I saw a few of her interviews - she’s very pregamed for them mentally she’s great a not saying too much or wrong thing - def elite human

Awesome!
I just finished a book on Zen Buddhism. The book made sense after watching 10 minutes of this episode, Courtney has it. She is a sage.
Try Thich Nhat Hanh my dear Volkan. What a cool name btw! He makes zen easy and simple to apply. He is one of the greatest masters of our time. Enjoy!
Which book?
would be interested in that book title :)
Whats the book name btw?
She's right. Training by the numbers and always striving to meet those goals is a sure fire pathway to burn out.
It's called "gratitude". Courtney is a great role model for that. As Camille Bruyas stated in her post UTMB interview when asked how she was smiling so much along the way: "I decided to run.

“People often sell themselves short, and setting the bar lower of what they could actually do if they went all in.” Rich thank you! Loved it-love her smiling energy, her incredible strength-from-within, and her humility. She is indeed a beautifully inspiring human being 👌🏻💖
Love the visual of making the cave bigger, chiseling away at the wall, creating new space and a way forward.

I agree! I feel like this is a crux in her mental fortitude and would love more insight.
She's a breath of fresh air, great contrast with the interviewer... She's so natural and present, totally out of her ego. So inspiring.

Thank you! This brought me back to the Chadd Wright podcast too. That was one of my biggest takeaways from

So true. The positive vibes are real. Not voicing negative shit is something I need to take onboard personally.
Yep, Chadd Wright is a stud!!
Her energy is like none other! Her soul comes right through the screen!
Love the reverence Rich Roll has for Courtney.
As a Runner and human I honestly have admiration for her. She is just sooo cool

Haven’t watched your show for 2 years… Courtney brought me back! What a human🙏🏾

Courtney + Goggins = Epic. Bring them together.
She may not know it, but she's a prime example of someone embracing and living the tao. I'm left speechless.

She has the way, agreed.
Love how you're the first podcast host that's not letting her sneak by with not answering questions!! Nervous laughter

Rich Roll probably has the best video quality and podcast set up out of anyone. So clean and simple.
I already love her attitude, her strength! See what laughing does to you! Sharing it so everyone learns and values the Mind.

Courtney is my spirit animal. She validates my bean burrito and gummy worms diet. Love listening to her talk!
Absolutely joyful watching Courtney’s development over the last few years. Truly a one of a kind.
I watched other interviews with remarkable people who are literally genius in their field and the same thing happens just like with Courtney - interviewers try to find the secret that makes them special, only to find that these incredible geniuses have no secret besides this is literally who they are! This thing that they do is the direct result of who they are. They are simply better than everyone else. For example, see Magnus Carlsen's interviews (best chess player of the last couple decades and arguably best to ever play the game).
She loves what she does. I've learned a lot with her. Her approach about pain cave is amazing. Thank you Courtney and Rich Roll for this amazing podcast.
She’s a great problem solver. She figures it out as she goes. She’s a pleasure to listen to and she inspires others with her mindset.
Great mindset. Courtney you gave me something I can actually use to be my best when it’s hard or scary. Sometimes the “ must do’s” create so much resistance.
It’s been fascinating and inspiring to watch Courtney over the last number of years. She keeps grinding away, even when facing adversity and challenge
Great interview! I always knew she was an amazing athlete, but she's a really cool person too. She cracked me up repeatedly. I'll never be half the runner she is, but she encourages me to push myself..." if I thought THAT was too hard and I did it, what ELSE do I think is too hard that I could do?" A great principal to live by!
So true!!! Amazing perspective!!
She is such a beautiful human being! Wonderful talk.
Rich, you nailed it in choosing Courtney for this podcast and the analogy of her making it look as it DOESNT need to be complicated, it is definitely refreshing to see her attitude among top human athletes. She is a true inspiration to me for years. And I found her podcast here because you are as well. 2 Masters of their domain having a beautiful chat.
She’s wonderful, I learn something new every time I hear her speak.
Literally the first five minutes into this and I love how she approaches running!
She definitely doesn’t overthink it. She focuses on the simple joys.
I just love this woman!!! I'm 52 and I wish I knew these things in my early 20's.. Head out on the trail and have fun. Exploring with your feet.
My favorite podcast to date! Probably because Courtney is my favorite runner in the World! I would love for you to get Tia Toomey on now that she is 5x CrossFit Games Champion & won more events than any male or female… plus she seems to be a awesome human being!!!
Sees herself as a problem solver. The rest of us see her as the goddess of running and an amazing human being. Terrific interview!
I really enjoyed this chat. What a wonderful and enlightened mindset Courtney has. I am currently going through cancer treatment…I believe this attitude will be very helpful on this marathon of sorts. Thank you for the inspiration 🌸💜🌸💪🏻
Sending you, love! Quick recovery.
Sending you a virtual hug! Get well soon xx
This is amazing, I've been waiting for Courtney to guest on this podcast for years! Finally, this is amazing!
She's so humble and inspiring. Great interview.
So refreshing. Adding to one of my favourite humans
Great interview. She is a great person. We are lucky to have her in the trail running community.
The Queen of the Pain Cave. Such a great interview. I can see where being a science teacher fits with her analytical approach to problem solving in the events.
Sweet beautiful soul💓. I would have loved to have her as a science teacher. Was one of my favourite subjects. Keep going Courtney. You are an amazing soul. Love your energy. Thank you
Love Courtney so much! Her mindset and casual way of living life & running is just so great.
She's a sweetheart, both actually!
Courtney is my hero. Thank you so much for making this podcast with her.
I love the emphasis on fun in training and I will Def incorporate and allow for
That
How can someone dislike this video? Courtney is a badass.
She reminds me of Goggins = Stone Cold Killer.
One of my all time favorite podcasts. This interview literally changed ny running game! The pain cave, staying present, and her authenticity. Sitting with the veggie green king and saying she eats, jelly beans! Lol , Rich says Jelly Beans😋 Thank you Rich Roll you have inspired and added so much value to my life with the knowledge and people you share with us in your interviews 😃❤ Be well.
I went to the high school that rivals hers. Minnesotans are the best!!! So proud to see such an elite athlete representing us.
Really loved here mentality for running, when she says that she is LOOKING for that feeling, the pain cave. She's not afraid of the unconfortable, she seeks it. Mind blowing stuff :))
Soaking up every second of this in preparation for my first ultra this December!
How did it go??
Prior to this episode, I did not know who Courtney Dauwalter was... Her perspective on pain (The Pain Cave), really resonated with me. I really really really like this and while on the mountain running today, I practiced looking forward to reaching that point, instead of resisting. This mindset is taking liberation to another level! Thank you Rick and Courtney!
Such humble person. Not surprised the level she is at today!
One of my favorite Quotes: Cannot Teach Must Be Born This Way!
Rich is such a dorky fan here. I love him. And I love Courtney too.
Courtney is a running zen master ! Incredible woman !
I hope you read this .... I watched you being interviewed by Tom Bilyeu and you commented that you needed to "step up your game " after viewing his studio etc.Well you have more than done that !!! The whole setup ( black background , brown table , green chairs etc all blend together so well ) and its an absolute please listening to your soothing voice and intellectual questions. CLASS ACT comes to mind .. congrats on leading the pack now.
Listening to this in 2023, shes proven herself yet again as the GOAT. 🙌
Great interview of one of my favorite humans on the planet. We all can learn so much from Courtney, both from her remarkable accomplishments and her attitude toward life.
She won by 10 miles and 20 hours i thiMk COURTNEY DAUWALTER FAV ATHELTE OF ALL ALL TIME!!
She run on Reunion island in 2022, my home, she has been inspiring me ever since.
I can’t stop smiling while hearing this! I admire you so much Courtney!!
“You’re young, there’s more to learn”. Bruh, she’s the best. It doesn’t matter.
Had to watch this again. Two of my idols just being themselves. Best interview ever.
She for sure has physical attributes that go a long way to help her achieve the things she does… but that mental toughness… next level
She’s actually my hero 🥲 “I was enjoying being a robot”. That’s such a childlike and playful mentality, she’s legendary. These runs are literally her playground and I totally aspire to be that way 🎉 ❤
How does this not have a million views! Love Courtney!
This is just so much fun to listen to. I stumbled on this, didn’t know Courtney, I’m barely a runner let alone annultra runner. Really amazing energy. Love her attitude and RR’s interview style. Thank you
“I had a lot of fun being a robot” beautiful
She is so honest.
