Such an inspiration ! Started my running journey this year at 67 years old and so need to be reminded that I can do so much more that I think I can. I can swim forever !!!, but running is a different story. Could barely do a mile in Jan, now doing 4 mile road runs and 10K trail ! Inspired by so many.
@@TirnanHealy Yup, swimming was my first sport, then tri's, open water swims, played waterpolo as an adult for 10 years, CrossFit, solo backpacking, summited Mt Whitney and now my running for a year challenge. Its something I've never been good at and I decided I actually need to give it a go. "2024, the year I become a runner ! "
Very inspirational 👏👏 I'm a marathon runner. Much older now and still running. Have been on the fence about training for another but now after watching this I'm inspired to register for another!! Thanks Courtney !! 🙏❤
I watched a video about Courtney and have been following her. I was a cyclist, but she is so motivating, I started running and have done some trail runs in the mountains. I wonder how many people she has gotten to start running. She is a great role model!
I have listened to quite a few of her interviews and he was actually my favorite! A lot of interviewers seem to want her to be something she isn’t - to have a secret, almost like they think she is being coy. But he seemed to understand her personality and what drives her. Idk hard to explain I guess.
I think it’s mostly easy volume (relative to herself, of course). Averaging around 110 miles per week with 1-2 higher intensity workouts. When you factor in the elevation gain (the hills & mountains she runs), the volume really starts to stand out. Even amongst the elites.
I think it is a very limited insight and old way of thinking, for the one interviewer to have asked her if she has peaked or not. We all can only hope to age (because the alternative is an early death) and so does that mean we get ONE peak and then you're done, good bye, give up? No - the peak changes with phases of life, the age (group) we are at and those abilities we have THEN. We learn to adjust and should strive for a peak at each stage of life we are blessed enough to get to. Dang, if we had just one peak and then what??, nothing next matters - that's pretty bleak. I think Courtney's an example of striving for your best with each opportunity YOU CAN FINE - they don't find you. She seems to seek them out. Very inspirational.

@@Jmisslyn that’s amazing, have you been active most of your life?

She is the sole reason why I've gotten into running, just did my first half marathon 🥹
Congratulations, do you have plans to do more?
Well done
She is so incredibly humble and relatable and honest. What a tremendous role model for all of us, in whatever sports we do.
100%
Such a great movie, very inspirational and high quality 👍🏼
Thank you 🔥

Awesome, I hope you enjoy it 🙏
@Floracook4803. I'm not sure how old you are but I will be running 161ks (100 Miles) on the day of my 58th Birthday in February.
@@lyndseyanselmi-un3ql good luck! 🔥
Great job piecing this together. She's inspiring
Thank you, Kathleen 🙏

@@maryreagan22 agreed, my weekly running mileage has definitely picked up since making this video. I don’t think that is just a coincidence!
This video was so well done. Thank you for making it ❤
@@elysef9303 thank you Elysef 🙏
Wow! Such a great video. Amazing job clipping all those pieces together to get the "full" story (if that's even possible for Courtney).
Cheers Darek! Required a significant time investment… but comments like this make it feel worth it 🤝
Subscribed. Amazing storytelling, such a good video!!!
Thanks Tom! 🤝
Great story telling. Courtney is the best, such a great video.
Thank you 🙏
I love how she called out that interviewer who asked “have you reached your peak?” Haha what a silly question
I don’t think he intended the question in a negative way to be fair to him, probably just came out a bit worse than he imagined
I have listened to quite a few of her interviews and he was actually my favorite! A lot of interviewers seem to want her to be something she isn’t - to have a secret, almost like they think she is being coy. But he seemed to understand her personality and what drives her.

I love her .. even if she wasn't winning... shes such a amazing person
Glad you liked it, Sebastian
Yes!!!!!🎉
🙌🏻
Great video, thanks
You’re welcome, glad you enjoyed it
If you don’t love this beautiful soul you are missing something 🫶🫶🫶

I'm curious as to what a typical training week is for her.? Or the races could be her training.
I think it’s mostly easy volume (relative to herself, of course). Averaging around 110 miles per week with 1-2 higher intensity workouts.
When you factor in the elevation gain (the hills & mountains she runs), the volume really starts to stand out. Even amongst the elites.

Good point, she certainly wouldn’t have achieved what achieved with the mindset of “my peak has passed.”

She is so unreal that makes you believe things are possible
A good side effect, no doubt
