From one grieving parent to another…. I see you. I lost my daughter due to a heart condition at birth in 2020 and that’s why I found running. Thank you for sharing some of your moments with her with us.

@jbeech01 I was on the course with you. 29:35:43. I think I heard that yell right after I finished.Thank you for telling the story of us “completer not competers” this is the best Leadville video I’ve watched. Incredible story and incredible example for your children. My wife was also my crew chief. Ultra is a team sport and that was an amazing tribute to Birdie. Wear your buckle with pride! Thank you for sharing.

Kind of a disappointing film, especially considering Billy Yang's earlier (and astonishingly good) work. There wasn't anything about actual running here, or the course, or the journey, just some uninteresting wealth manager talking. All 100-mile finishers have incredible mental endurance, so repeatedly pointing that out as his strength was a little odd. I don't know, I guess this bland American Dream pull-yourself-up story just didn't resonate with me at all.

@run2climb 8 месяцев назад

I think you've missed the point that most non-elite competitors (like Jeff) have "uninteresting" day jobs / lives (depending on your viewpoint) but they have also generally overcome various difficulties and yet still choose to challenge themselves through their running (or other sport) activities. This film's point is that ANYONE could also accomplish their goals with persistence, resilience and putting in the work.

@piaruns7928 5 месяцев назад

0:02 ... And then there's me : sitting here with a notepad and a pen about to watch this video a second time and take notes because - holy cow- there were some insights I want to keep in mind! I came here for the running part as well but in the end this to me is so much more than just about ultra running. Well done Billy Yang, and may God bless Jeff and his family!

Ball busters like you are the reason people have a terrible day.
