Hi Frankie, My wife and I met you at the finish line as Jim W. came in first this year. You told us about this documentary while we we all walking away. We've watched a lot of Western States documentaries over the years, this is one of my favorite. So real and raw. These are the stories that need to be told to really understand what the Western States run is all about. Well done. Hope to see you again at the finish line.
I am so happy you enjoyed The Heart of Stone. Western States is a gargantuan athletic endeavor and I will always be filled with awe and gratitude for what our bodies and minds are capable of doing. Thank you and I hope we see each other again;). Frankie
Hi Frankie!! It was a joy to meet you at Forest Hill! My husband, Joe was suffering when I picked up at Bath rd. I told him I had met you and that you sent your good wishes to him. He came out of the dark and was able to finish the beast!! Thank you so much for tiu positive energy! If you are on Instagram, I will tag you in the video! ❤️
I watched this video on Sunday. Cried, slept for three hours and went out and did 28.66 miles yesterday which is a personal best distance for me. I’m watching it again now. Thanks for being a blessing and an inspiration.
Thank you so much for this great video. I am a 55 year old runner in the UK and I would love to do an ultra. I have watched a lot of videos about Western States but this is the first one that has felt truly relevant for me. Thanks Frankie . What a great effort and can I say what a great support crew you had! They were amazing.
I did an Ironman with a stress fracture known a few months prior to the race so I can appreciate the guts, courage, and mental strength it took to complete this. Great job Frankie! I live in Reno and just now getting into trail running again after my recovery, hoping to one day be able to do half as much as you have!
Thanks for the video! Well done. What a great crew you had there. One of the ladies in particular, the one with an Ultimate Direction jacket on, was amazing in her encouragement. Well made vídeo, as well. Absolutely first class and, believe me, I’ve seen a lot of running films. Your passion and determination were tremendous!
Well done to both Frankie and Lindsey, her filmmaker! Neither are easy feats. To Frankie, congratulations on completing what is a notoriously difficult course and with half and hour to spare!!! And to Lindsey, thanks so much for your care and crafting of this film, other more well known content creators couldn't have topped this! Go be a female film director, there are too few!!!
This is so amazing! I'm 43 and have only been running ultras for a couple of years. Watching Frankie achieve this incredible goal on her 57th birthday is really inspiring. Congratulations!
Happy birthday, Frankie! I moved by your determination, and will to succeed. Your support crew is perfect example of expressing support with understanding of helping to get the job done. Congratulation! You are such an inspiration.
Thank you Terry I hope you are doing great on your journey to health and wellness. I am so happy to have met you and wish you all the best, lots of love and kale Frankie
Wow!!! Loved watching this so much. As a female ultra runner in my 50s I so identified with your seriousness, determination, and gratitude. Thank you and congratulations!
of all the western state videos, this one tells the best story. honest, grounded, and relatable to most of us regular runners chasing the cutoffs
Thank you so much for your kind comment. ❤
Everyone needs a race crew like this race crew in their lives
