“I don’t think that I’ve done anything spectacular in this whole entire series.”
Me sitting on my couch: “oh, totally, nothing spectacular.” 😂
You’re awesome!

“It doesn’t need to be marked by medals but it needs to be marked by giving everything I possibly can.”

You put into words how I approach each race. I love the strategy of being patient and using wisdom, so crucial in life 💕

Hi Sally! I hope you see this! I decided to start training for a half marathon in September (couch to half marathon, the only “long distance” running I had ever done in my life was a 5k that I did when I was in 5th grade) and I’m using the Nike Run Club app and you happened to be a coach for one of my runs! I remember you talking about how you do ultra marathons and I was like “wow how does she do it. I’m doing a speed run that’ll end up being less than 3 miles at the ends and I am feeling WHOOPED” and it made me feel as though I was falling behind in the training because I was so many weeks in and I still found some of my 3-4 mile runs difficult. But then I found your channel and started watching all your ultra marathons and it opened my eyes that everyone is going to struggle. Everyone will feel behind at time. Everyone will get leg pain during a run. Everyone will need to stop to walk for a little before starting again. Everyone has off days. But there is no reason to back down just because of that. I remember you said “you only have to run at mile pace for 30 seconds. Since I do ultra marathons a mile is so easy!” And I was like “well not for me” but looking back at it, it was! It really was! Because it is easy for ANYONE as long as you have the right mindset. It took me so long to realize that I don’t have to be the BEST at it, I just have to get it done. And that is okay. Watching your videos and seeing you struggle has genuinely helped me so much to learn that when I struggle, that is human nature. And now, I can run 10 miles with ease :)

I don't race, I dont even run but this is one of the most inspiring, motivational films I have seen. It proves we are all more capable then we think we are. Crossing the finish line of life with nothing left in us is a worthy goal. I don't run, but I do cycle long & wisdom" will be a new mantra. Thank you for giving so much.

The mental fortitude to carry on with wrecked feet early on is absolutely incredible. Knowing you haven’t even started racing and your feet are trashed, and that once racing they will get even worse is a giant mountain to climb mentally

[lexuslopez]

For her to not think she’s an incredible athlete is unfathomable to me. Sally you are the epitome of what it means to be an athlete! I was overwhelmed with emotion to witness your accomplishments. You’ve inspired me to carry your mindset throughout the duration of my life! Sending you lots of love ❤

[BaileyCroffordMusic]

Absolutely sobbing at the beauty of this. Sally was the first to inspire my running journey. She encourages me to choose strong in every aspect of life. Sally, you’re a gift from God. Thank you for being you. Never stop.

[brianshaver]

I’m in awe of Sally! This feat isn’t something I can comprehend. A marathon hurts, this is unbelievable to me. I run because of the motivation and inspiration from Sally McRae! Great job, I can’t wait to see what’s next! This film gives me chills! ❤

[rollie]

This brought me to tears for what human beings can accomplish. Sally you had so many nuggets of wisdom that I won't soon forget, thank you for your

[animaloverdani]

I swear that ultras showcase humanity at it's best. Pushing limits, respecting each other, and appreciating nature. So so cool

[davidadean]

Sally continues to make the extraordinary look normal. 4 200+ mile ultras in one year is an accomplishment that will rarely be replicated, if ever.
Simply unbelievable and beyond awesome!

Thanks for allowing us to tag along for the ride this past year, Sally. Watching these adventures made me feel as though I was right there with you and no doubt inspired others as you have me! Much love and respect to you and Eddie! Wish you many blessings in 2024.

15 minutes in and blown away by the quality of this film!

[VincentForDesign]

I'm a cyclist, I have watched a tons of ultra cycling videos and films, there's one time I was thinking "if people do the distance by running, that will be totally insane!", the prophet YouTube probably heard my thoughts, then I stumbled upon this video. It's really nuts mindblown🤯

I'm amazed by how well articulated you're to express those complex feelings and thoughts you had during the race, it made the storytelling so so so much better, especially to those audience like me who knows nothing about running, able to have a glimpse on what was happening. Truly amazing!

[bodyofgratitude]

Go, Sally, Go! 💛

favorite moments:
3:45 - "I had two words for this race: PATIENCE & wisdom"
20:40 - "we're leaving in first place" (let's go!!!)
28:46 - "I always think about the story I want to tell after a race"
30:28 - "we win because of our mindset"
32:11 - "I want to get to the last finish line of my life and knowing that I gave every ounce of who I am"
32:33 - nothing better than a Sally McRae finish line celebration! the moments that I replay in my mind when I think about how I want to feel at the end of a race!

Cannot wait to continue to cheer you on in 2024. You're an inspiration to us all!

I have only ever run a 40 km “marathon” (only 25 miles), yet I got all emotional watching this video. It feels so personal and so relatable. Mind over body is truly a fantastic mantra. Thanks for the incredible inspiration 🙏🏻

[chasewade]

Dropped 4 hours ago and already 8, 000 of us sickos have watched it. God I love this sport.

[philipwhite]

The pain that she can endure….. it is beyond my comprehension. Simply amazing

[yongdongyou]

So inspiring! I'm pushing 60, but you inspired me to do at least one ultra before I die.

[sarah_a_patterson]

I always get so emotional watching her race in her videos. I get so inspired by her every day. Congratulations Sally. You earned it!
