What went through your mind as you crossed the finish line the first time you won that race?
Anton Krupicka, on his first Leadville 100 win
“Wow, I’m so thankful for the opportunity to sit down.”
“I just don’t think I’m built for running fifty miles,” I said. “Everyone is built for running,” he said.

You run Badwater because there’s something in you that wants to get out there, in the middle of nowhere, and think about something.
Marshall Ulrich
It’s a way of freeing yourself, getting back to what I really believe people
are supposed to be doing instead of relying so much on a bunch of material crap that only makes us weaker.
We are built to run, to cover great distance, for survival sake.
Find the level of intolerance you can tolerate and stay there.

Ten hours before I was in pain and I was cold, and then I was running across the finish line and it dawned me, I am a runner.
Ray Zahab, on the Yukon Arctic Ultra
The Jungle Marathon really is brutal. I can’t emphasise how savage it is, it’s just insane. It’s almost like being in a microwave where you’re being heated from the inside out. It’s like the Return of the Living Dead – zombies walking around vomiting and on drips, because their core temperature has gone through the roof.
David Cook
You know any sport has gone off the rails when you have to remove body parts to do it.
Christopher McDougall
More miles, more fun!
