- What does it cost to achieve the goals you have?
Sally McRae took on her second 200 mile race with the goal to get the best out of herself, and to put herself out there for a podium position. This film follows the whole story of what it means to commit to finishing what you set out to do, and refusing to give up too early.

The Tahoe 200 is the second in the Grand Slam of 200s, which starts with Cocodona 250, and also includes the rest of the Triple Crown - Bigfoot 200 and Moab 240.
The “Don’t worry about me, I know what I’m doing” gives me chills.
Yes!!!
Same!
100%! Such an inspiration!
Best quote right here
not wanting a pacer at 188miles is the part that give me chills!
When she asked Billy if he was down to run hard for 35 miles, it got me fired up. You're the best, Sally. Keep crushing it
BEAST
💯💯 her focus at that point was so LOUD without being loud…. absolutely powerful
Don’t worry about me, I know what I’m doing. 😮
Just saw this part and it gave me goose bumps to hear her!!
I felt the same way! Made me want to go out and start running.
11:59 “This next section is 13 miles which is relatively short”
Me, who’s furthest run is an 8K: Yeah that’s nothing
I do 13 miles in my sleep. Every night.
Yeah I ran 8.1 miles today on trails (walk/ran) in 95F and it took me 2 1/2 hours. Felt like I might never make it. The endurance these folks have is beyond measure
@@jeromycaballero91😂😂 you're better than me. I can't conjure up a mile in my sleep 😅.
@@LawofMosesHerewow! This is still amazing. I was gardening before the sun came up this morning, it wasn't even 85° yet and I felt like l was done for. The humidity was so thick
@@dani8shawn yeah that’s the only benefit of living in California- dry heat, no humidity! I’ve experienced Northeast humidity - no thanks!
David Goggins book “can’t hurt me” got me into running! When I started at the beginning of the year, I couldn’t jog .25 miles without feeling gassed and not being able to catch my breath. Now I can push 2 miles without stopping!!! Just put in 11 miles today!! You’re such an inspiration!!!!❤❤
did you do the audio or hardbook? such a great book. well done!
@@Kettlebolo I did the audiobook because he added a lot to it that the hard book doesn’t have. It’s basically the book plus a podcast.
I listen to the Audio on RUclips whilst running. Cam Hanes Audio is great too
@@Kettlebolo
That's how it started for me, fitness wise, over a decade ago when I started training for the 30km Around The Bay race in Hamilton. Absolutely done after 5min. 7 months later I run 30km in 2:43min without much difficulty, with a 10min bathroom break lol
And ya, the audio book is definitely the way to go! Also, Ultra Marathon Man is a fantastic book if you haven't read it yet. The definition of a page turner! So good. @@_Roasted_Marshmallow
@@_Roasted_Marshmallow but its titel is never finished. that's not can't hurt me
Constantly inspired by Sally. I’ve run a decent amount of races, with half marathons being my longest distance. I have severe nerve damage and was told i’d never walk again after breaking my back in 2009. My first half was in April of 2009 and my accident was December 2009. I had planned to run fulls then 50k’s then who knows, but it took me four years for me to relearn how to walk then run and I ran another half in 2013 and over the last 10 years i’ve run and run and run 5k’s, 10k’s and half’s. I don’t know if i’ll ever reach that full distance but i’m going to keep trying and keep struggling and keep suffering. 🏃♂️ 💪🏼
That is so inspirational cousin. The next time you are in a tough spot, Just know that there is an internet stranger rooting for you to get of there.
You know, there’s something to be said for just doing a full marathon and giving yourself permission to walk/rest as needed. Once you get it done you’ll know what you need to do to run the whole thing.
keep at it God Bless
that's amazing, keep going and all the best 💪🏽
I also run half marathons and had a casual run club come it at where I may have broken a race walk record after working on my military days and need to go try it out at USTAF. I’m still NCAA div 1 scholarship levels on not isolated or measured to course to my 5ks and 10ks at Masters entry, so I have a lot of time left. I’m happy for these records. This is where I think pursuit by traffickers, fasting and campsite improve my run from where I was a bivouac to soldier road march. We all have strengths. I know mine is carrying more weight than an average soldier and completing a 25k road march with rifle.
What a truth - ‘Sally’s strongest muscle is between her ears’. Awesome. And inspiring. 👏👏👏
even that muscle will be eaten due to autophagy... when pursuing health is a no go you can always destroy your whole body with stupid ego chasing
This is some of the most wild mental strength. Running with it being 90 degrees, throwing up, the crazy amount of blisters, and not being able to eat. Most people would have given up having one of those problems. Very inspiring!
"We don't only race when we feel good, we don't only give our best when things are going our way...continue moving forward...I could be better than I was even 5 minutes ago." I don't care if you're running your very first mile nonstop or an ultra, Sally's words are so strong. It applies to all of us. What an inspiration. Great job, Sally!
This documentary is NOT what I expected. The video thumbnail intrigued me. I’m not a runner and the only knowledge I have of running is what I see. I know the will to succeed at something can sometimes outweigh what the body is telling you to do. The mental, emotional and physical state this woman displayed is beyond human. I compared her face at the beginning of the video to the time the medic was treating her feet. It looked like she aged 20 years. An absolute monumental success.
The shot of me at the beginning was taken only 2 hours after I crossed the Finish line; you can also hear how sick I am & yes, my physical state was weakened & I lost weight. Really appreciate you watching- I know how foreign this race distance is to most ppl. 🙏🙏
@@sallymcraestrengthso, at :52 that was recorded 2 hours after the finish? I’m impressed by the recovery.
Ha ha yes…we probably should have put a little caption in the film for that…I took a shower and then the film crew set up in the hotel room and bam -interview 😂😂
@@sallymcraestrengthyour the goat love
I’m not crying, you are.
Sally’s message of not giving up too early as that’s when the important changes really happen is so powerful. What an inspiration!
I’m literally crying. ❤
This is so inspiring and makes me want to work harder. I haven’t been running my whole life, I just started a year ago and I want to keep pushing myself. It’s not about how long you’ve been doing something, it’s about the work and effort that goes into it. I will continue working hard, thank you.
Running isn't really something for me, I'm more into weightlifting and strength, but I truly admire the strength, endurance, and mental power of ultra marathon runners. You guys are mental (in the best way possible).
Really appreciate you watching and for that feedback! Very cool of you!! 💪💪💪💛💛💛
Así es como nos llaman...locos👍😅👍
I started crying when Billy showed you the videos of people encouraging you. The ups and downs of your journey were beautifully captured in this film. Thank you for putting this out for the world to see and be inspired by. Thanks to the filmmaker.
I'm 50 running my first ultra in February. Thank you for your inspiration!
Good luck!!! You got this! 💪💪
Good luck 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
That’s awesome! During my first ultra I ran with someone for a while in the later stages who was 54. It was epic
Have fun! It won't last long.
All the best!
“The body should be treated more rigorously, that it may not be disobedient to the mind.” - Seneca
Keep Hammering, Sally! You're an idol to many.
that is why marathons runners arent and dont look healthy
Whenever I feel extremely tired/sick, I just re-watch this video. It gives me strenght
I just completed my first ultra (35 miles) this past weekend. It was beyond anything I thought I was capable of doing. Sally, watching you run this makes me feel like anything is possible. You are an inspiration. I'm going for more.
"Even though we may feel like this is a really bad race, there is still race left"I raced my first 50K this weekend and this was in my head the entire time! You never know what your body and mind can do. Sally you are an inspiration and rockstar
imagine only 49miles left, then suddenly "can you do a hard 35miles with me?" 26:40
that grit, determination... a typical sally!!!
truly truly inspirational..
great video content...
Thank you Sally. I was preparing my first marathon and was about to give up as I’m going through a period of insomnia, when your video reminded me why I wanted to challenge myself in the first place. You reminded me that is how we stand to difficulties that defines us, and how far we can push our limits if we move past the fear of failing. You’ve been a true inspiration, and I managed to run the full marathon. Thank you so much!
Really appreciate you watching and sharing that with me. Thank you so much! 💛🙏
Two years ago I did a 90k run with cough...afterwards I was dead for two weaks...coughing blood...so frightening....maybe silly but at this time (also a hard time in my life)maybe it was all I needed...I always had this Dougie Maclean song "I am ready for the storm" in my mind....amazing job sally...so inspiring to watch!!!
I have no idea how I came to this video. Absolutely f’ing incredible! I cried when you crossed the finish line. My amazing physical therapist, Gwen in Seattle do these races. You guys are at another level. Congratulations! Amazing video and editing.
What fight. So inspiring. It occurred to me halfway through the video, Sally McRae is powered by love - so much going out, and so much coming in. This amazing athlete and person is soooo easy to root for. God bless you, Sally McRae.
"We don't only do our best when things are going our way" Love that! Way to go Sally!!
The breadth of wisdom from Sally throughout the entire film is priceless. Hard not to get emotional watching this.
As a 62 year old who wants to run another solid marathon (after a 20+ year gap), I am absolutely loving your commentary on mental strength and resilience!!
Ok, so I spent 11 years in the Army, and I think the most extreme thing I did was a 60 mile patrol carrying a fair amount of weight, with numerous tasks along the way, 2hrs mandatory sleep, over the course of about 36 hours, made more interesting by badly rolling my ankle after about 4 or 5 miles. Completed it, but ended up going straight to hospital for 3 or 4 days followed by a few months of physiotherapy.
Considering how the first sections went, to have the mental wherewithal to continue is incredibly impressive, because when your body is screaming at you, it is only your mind that can keep you going. Very good move to get your blisters treated. They go bad very quickly and you can end up in a world of hurt. Exceptional result all things considered.
Wow. You're really something. Being in that situation with 30 miles in and still be able to go another 190 miles after that. Inspirational. Thank you. The world needs people like you.
Sally, you are an amazing representation of how far a spirit can take the human vessel. So incredibly inspired by you and I certainly will never forget your name. Thank you for being you.
Inspirational would be an under statement. You were incredible, digging so deep, not allowing yourself to quit. Billy, what a master at motivation. Thanks to all that took part in your support and the making of this film, it was so rewarding.
You are truly an inspiration. As a woman in this space, you are someone I look up to whenever I feel that sense of self doubt. You resilience and strength are contagious, and you make me feel like I’m capable of anything I put my mind to. Thank you for being the badass that you are.
appreciate you watching and for your kindness; big strength and love to you
Sally, your narration of this race definitely deserves 1st place 🏆 Truly well done
I done my first ultra (50k) and it was the hardest challenge I’ve ever put myself through.
I can’t even begin to imagine what 100/200+ miles feels like, it’s actually incomprehensible.
Sally, I’m blown away by your grit and determination. This whole film is incredible, loved the voice overs too, you can certainly tell a story!
Middle of the night for me, but I know what I'll be watching over breakfast!!!
Man is it inspiring and awesome to see how tough our ultra running community is...Sally is just a warrior, just so awesome to see her just overcome when everything says stop.
Superhuman Sally! I thought she’d quit many times but she just kept amazing me. Also, this great third place was thanks to her amazing support system and all the help. You can’t do it at all. And the director of this film, astonishing work, great shots / storytelling and music. LOVED all about this short film 💜
I've pushed my self far and past my limits before but to push through vomiting and unable to eat or drink in a race like this is beyond anything I can comprehend its scary and inspiring and jaw dropping. When she said "don't worry about me I know what I'm doing" I think that was the most intimating thing I've ever heard. This was kind of hard to watch but I think that's because this is an athlete on a level I can't fully wrap my head around.
Cannot wait!! I've been eagerly awaiting this. Sally your running journey has been so inspiring for my newbie running self. Thanks for sharing your journey!
aww thank you!
“Don’t worry about me I know what I’m doing” that was pretty sick, congratulations!
I raced the longest and hardest race of my life last week. Endured more than I though I was capable of and finished strong. Watching Sally finish made me cry and the full emotion of her achievement and my race last weekend came out. Well done you! Inspirational.
🙏
I have been preparing to run my first marathon for 1.5 years now. And I have realised I am no where close to it. Highest I can run is 40mins without stopping.. and you have me inspired. What you said really resonated with me. Life is not going to understand how hard I have prepared for this.
Watching this gave me absolute chills. Sally’s willingness to endure through everything is truly inspiring. I’m far from being in ultramarathon shape but watching this gives me the motivation to pursue deeper training and embrace the adversity to achieve success.
Sally offers so many tools that you can use throughout a race. When I was hitting a wall last weekend, I dug into that bag of tools and was able to completely change my mindset and push hard to get to the end. It wasn't the best finish or anything close to what I envisioned, but I was able to overcome an almost certain DNF and learned a ton about what I can do
Amazing! I’ve never heard of you before this video and I cried when you crossed the finish line. ❤
She is so inspiring. Not just running inspiration. She spits life wisdom. I love it.
A 200 mile race is completely insane - and ironically that's exactly why I love people like you because you push the limits of what's possible. Awesome effort...inspiring!..
So incredibly inspiring. In a world full of people living for the next tik tok it is reassuring in a way, that not all is lost, and that some people still want to do the hard thing because it's the hard thing. Thank you so much for this Sally!
Thank you 🙏
This is undoubtedly the most inspiring running video I've seen in my life. It doesn't just show you the highs, it also shows you the lows. Which is questionably probably the most important part when sharing stories like these. It gives you the full experience. Even if that full experience is uncomfortable to watch. Which is what we need. Thank you so much Sally McRae for sharing your story with us. And many thanks to your phenomenal camera crew as well for helping to make this possible. I'm starting to seriously consider getting into trail running and a video like this is exactly what I needed!
I was in 2 minds of whether to do Ironman 70.3 this year or not. After watching this video, I know I'm gonna do it. You're the best, Sally. Thank you for inspiring & wish me luck!
goodluck ! how was it
Amazing. So inspiring. Congratulations to Sally and the team behind her. Inspiring so many trail runners out there.
Sally McRae is someone I just discovered but is a total inspiration for me. I have a major tendency to down play my accomplishments and also hesitate in fear of failure. I’m realizing that pain and even struggle gives you growth. I’ve been running since 2020 during shut down and was a soccer player as a kid but my love of running has completely reignited in me. I’ve only done 5ks but am working to do a half marathon. Life is hard to balance with work and a 6 year old son but watching stuff like this pushes me to be better and be a good representation for my son. Thank you Sally!❤
Listened again on my morning run just now! If anyone out there needs a reminder to keep going, needs motivation to get up and run, to run the next mile, to never give up watch this, listen to it! You will be better for it!
The times we want to give up the most is usually where the most change happens. So profound! You’re awesome
I love this and kudos to you lady! I started running after my first year in college & ran a half during my third year. I’ve also cherished how running has taught me to push through discomfort and learn that the best changes happen when you’re at that breaking point. I’m in my 2nd year of medical school now and the same principles have helped me to cope with difficulties and discomfort in my education as well ❤
The story telling of this incredible journey is a work of art!
Sally,
I’m so beyond proud of you!!!! I tear up watching you because you motivate so many around you and you don’t quit and you push to levels many will never feel in their lives because they don’t dig deep and push to a level that is deeper than discomfort. You never let that voice win and you push hard when everyone else would throw in the towel. This generation is lacking humans that can embrace the discomfort and push even harder in those dire moments to achieve a goal for themselves or their loved ones. I’m so happy that I learned about you from Nick Bare and the team at BPN. As a runner myself I know the discomfort, I know the voice in your head that is sometimes stronger than you when you’re deprived nutritionally, emotionally, and physically. I loved every minute of this film and you have a fan and supporter for life 🤙🏽
I actually cried watching this realizing that you're totally right about the breaking point and that things always fall into place after pushing through it. Next time I feel like giving up im going to watch this video again. You are an amazing role model, thank you ❤
Unreal, Sally! You’re such a fighter. This was a great video. Congratulations on pushing past the difficulties and persevering. You’re an inspiration to so many of us. 💪🏼👏🏼😎
thank you 💛
Drew, Tyler - this film is absolutely incredible!
Sally - you are a true Superstar!

Tears tears and more tears. Thank you so much for being who you are and sharing your journey with those willing to watch, listen and be inspired. Your soul is beautiful.
The revelations and challenges and inner monologue to the mental struggle shared here are incredibly moving. What a beautiful record of the power of community, but mostly the fact that Sally is a fucking superhuman BEAST. As Billy said, "this is what you do." You are an inspiration, congrats on 3rd place! 💛
Absolutely pushing the limits of what the body can do all whilst not being anywhere near 100%. Truly wild and inspirational. I am fully inspired to try to do an ultramarathon next year.
Sally you are such an inspiration! I used your podcasts as I trained this summer and they help motivate me thru my first 100km race this past weekend, coming in as 6th woman. Thank you to you and Eddie!!
Sally is one of my top 5 favorite athletes. A very inspirational human being.
25:34 this part actually made me cry, you're my inspiration!
“You can use anything for passion right? “
You are so strong, Sally! 💛💛💛
To God be the glory, YellowRunner!! 💛💛💛 I very much wanted to watch this last night, but had to get some sleep for an early am 5k race. With no idea if I'd even be able to run on an ankle I rolled 2x on the trails a week ago, I toed the start line...and finished well, PTL! "It's so easy to focus on one negative thing and let it get out of control....all too often we quit too early." You inspire us all, Sally; much thanks to you, Eddie, family, and crew🙏🙏🙏
When she cross that finish line i cry like a baby, youtube show me this video and this is my first time seeing Sally but i feel so proud when she cross finish line. It's strange how we humans are connected with something beautiful and unexplainable.
And Sally does it again, makes us cry with our fist in the air. Team Sally ❤
This is genuinely the craziest thing I’ve ever seen - my jaw is on the floor. 220 miles is unbelievable. You are a beast
@10:32 That's a real G right there, such respect for her pacer, makes me respect her.
That was an incredible watch. Truly unreal watching you push past your own boundaries and finish so, so strong. Absolutely smashed it!!
Resilienza = capacità di far fronte mentalmente o emotivamente a una crisi o un trauma e di riprendersi. Lei ci è riuscita, si è rialzata, ha lottato fino alla fine, e arrivare terzi non è una delusione, anzi, un traguardo pazzesco per quello che ha passato in questa gara. Che grande esempio, grazie di questa bellissima testimonianza! 🥰❤
There are people out there like Sally who have no idea of the impact they have on other's lives. Ultra running teaches lessons that nothing else in this world can teach and to have Sally push through what seems impossible and then have the humility to share her experiences, narrated with the most amazing quotes, is something to behold. I want to thank you Sally for the running lessons and life lessons you give to us. You are an inspiration to the world and you keep showing us that our creator has done something amazing within each of us, but we have to work hard to tap into it and BELIEVE. May you be blessed, protected, loved and happy. This was an incredible achievement after a long fight to the finish line, and a very emotional watch for me! Thank you for this!
Beautiful cinematic display of pure willpower and suffering. Very inspirational for the ones that need external motivation. Quite a difference with Claire, female and overall winner that year. No support, no pacers, no film crew, no social media, ...
I’m literally looking forward to watching this more than any blockbuster movie that’s come out. I think I may need to get an instagram account to just try to get one of those hats. Two years and no “social” media has been a good run but I’m willing to make this one exception 😅😅
😂
Way better than cable tv
Sally, Courtney, David, Cam their determination through races is amazing. Truly inspiring!
It was a very beautiful video and i could see the inside of an extreme ultramarathon. It looks amazing and she is a real warrior. It motivates me on my own running journey and she really tells the viewers about pushing through when needed.
Thanks for the real running experience. Showing your ups and downs during the race, and how you struggle through those and overcome is genuine. Glory to God!
I’m crying 😢!! I’m very impressed. Congratulations 🙏🙏!! I’m marathon runner 🏃🏼♀️ and want to start to practice for first ultra for 2025🙏! just 30 miles 🙏🙏
Such a beautiful and powerful documentary. You inspire me so much Sally, I'm currently training for a half marathon and your words and videos are helping fuel my training - there's no doubt in my mind im going to finish it (regardless of how long it takes me) because you have shown we have so much more to give than we think we do ❤️
Absolutely speechless Sally! So darn impressive…the highs…the lows….and everything in between captured so well. WELL DONE doesnt begin to say enough. Your Arizona Fan for life….Tony
It’s so profound to watch this and hear Sally’s thoughts. The tenacity, the purpose and will… and the support too… it exemplifies the simple point; do not quit too early. Remarkable.
Thank you for watching
Thanks for the beautiful experience, sportmanship, resilience and great videography from your two videographs !!
Yay! Been patiently waiting for this to come out❤️
This documentary gives me so much strenght to never give up and always push through. So much Respect.
Ehh, sometimes the best thing you can do is call it a day and try again later. Endurance sports are fun, but I'm not on this planet to hurt myself so that I can feel tough.
just watched this after completing an 80km adventure ultramarathon race - I clearly have a long way to go but your work ethic and drive is truly inspiring, it's got me excited for the next one!!
Sally, you are endlessly inspirational. You are a true testament to phenomenal mental fortitude, human spirit in the most dyer of circumstances and all around an amazing human with an incredible life journey.
When you said you did long runs on your Nike Run Club guided run you weren’t kidding…
This is the most inspirational film, so incredible. I’ve got my first half marathon and my longest ever run this weekend and I’m psyched. Thank you Sally!
Everyone needs a Billy in their life. Xx
Determination, discipline and willpower... Hats off
I had a similar experience to this. I remember I was taking the Bar exam for NY. I had taken and failed the test before. The day before the exam I went on my exercise bike for 3 hours. For some reason I couldn't sleep that night. I stayed up all night in my bed, got out, and went to the first day of exams. The second day I managed to get a little sleep. I ended up passing the exam with a score of 270, which is passing for not only NY, but most other states as well. Looking back, I feel like the reason my mind was so restless was because I had studied so much and I knew that it was my exam to lose. Watching Sally get physically sick and be unable to sleep, I can't help but feel she felt the same way after training for the race. It's such an odd feeling. I feel like a 200+ mile race is likely mentally harder than a bar exam, but it's still quite hard. And something about the weeks and weeks of prep combined with the do-or-die moment of the event--something about that just makes your mind not want to turn off for some reason.
When Cameron Hanes says you’re his inspiration….you know you’re a big damn deal. Relentless pursuit forward.
I had listened to the race recap podcast but watching this amazing piece by Tyler and Drew shows the depth of the suffering. Seeing you overcome that is so inspiring Sally, please keep on being you and showing what true grit and determination are 💛
Appreciate you watching
You are literally why I’m going to do a 100 mile ultra in February!!! Such inspiration and help thx for what you do!!!
That is awesome!Thank you for sharing that with me!!
Seeing you cross the finish line made me cry! 😢 What a beautiful sight & oh so rewarding! Thank you Sally for sharing your journey, truly inspirational.❤
Wow that was full of ups and downs Sally, very emotional to watch, you did amazing and so good to have support from your team, well done, thoroughly deserved!! 🙌
So inspiring! Your mental strength is incredible on so many levels. This was beautiful.
Sally really showed what heart , motivation, & self discipline can do to yourself when your at moments of discomfort, pain and doubt. Video had me rooting for her the whole time.!
Thank you so much for watching 🙏
I caught a cold before my race last week. I though I was done and not going to be able to race. This motivated me to push through it and remember everything I had trained for. I PR my marathon by 31 mins! Thank you for your inspiration Sally!
