Courtney is beloved in the Ultra Running community, both the women and men. She does it her way, with great modesty, individuality, and courage. As a professional and an inspiration, she handles alot of pressure gracefully. Choosing her as a guest in the context of "claim your confidence" is spot on. Great interview skills. Subscribed.
I am definitely not a runner but stumbled across Courtney on a podcast, and now follow closely. (2023 was crazy!!) My partner and I talk about the pain cave in all sorts of life areas and are much less likely to shy away from discomfort 😂. The world needs more Courtney!!
Courtney is not only a one of a kind elite ultra runner. She is authentic and very humble. What she didn’t say about the 240 mile race that she talked about is that she not only finished, but she won the race… beat all the men and women a like. And not only did she win it, but she won by over 10 Hours!! Yes the second place runner came in 10 hours later! Unbelievable!
I came to say this. Also am I the only one that’s disappointed in the interviewer. I feel like if you’re going to interview someone you should look them up on google and if you type Courtney Dewaulter highlights her Moab race is one of the first things that comes up. Not to mention all the other races she has set course records on.
@@dancingcowgirl85 She most likely did know about these things, but as an interviewer you are supposed to ask questions and draw the story out from your guest, not just tell them all of the great things you read about them on the interwebs.
@@JenniferAakre anyone who has checked her out knows that’s she’s not gonna do that. She is literally known for being humble af. So yeah give her a chance to say it but then circle around and bring it up. If I didn’t know who she was all I would have gotten out of this interview was that she runs for a living and does an ok job of it, not that she breaks records all over the world and has for almost a decade.
This is such a deeply meaningful conversation. Courtney is a tremendous inspiration both as an ultrarunner and a human being. You have a wonderful podcast in terms of the deep meaning of claiming your confidence, Lydia.
Inspiring, so inspiring.. Its amazing to hear that even Courtney hit the wall 'oh that wall' dnf and then went forward... I had my first dnf this year and looking back, I was pretty much in dnf mode right before the start... I absolutely could have finished but I had started in negativity and rolled around in it... It taught me so so much.. I am a 40 miler max at the moment but that dnf has made me a better runner, it changed my mental mindset and was so valuable.... It really is (as both you very wise women said) about mindset... Loved this vlog. THANKYOU FOR SUCH POSITIVE CONTENT X
Tēnā koe Lydia, Hello Lydia. Thank you for facilitating this amazing interview. Tēnā koe Courtney - Hello Courtney. This interview was joyful to watch and listen too. Thank you for being you.
Listening to Courtney is really encouraging, because she puts her joy of running and the challenge first. I started running a couple of months ago and just wanted to explore and find fun in a situation of "being a beginner" or being "bad" at something. Usually I am a total overthinker and really wanted to just have fun with this. Seeing someone do just that at such an incredible level is confirming that for me. ❤

I agree! I started running longer distances just thinking about her chipping away at the pain cave!

She is so amazing! I constantly think about her trying things without worrying about the outcome. It makes me feel fearless

Doing my first ultra in 2 weeks, great interview! Needed the motivation!

It is so true! She is such an inspiration on every level. Better to try and fail, right?
@@LydiaFenet-k7m Yes! "fail forward" is actually one of my mottos to remind me to not let my perfectionism stop me from doing things. 😄
This vlog gave me happy tears, two awesome women.. Yes, you too Lydia x
