The “Don’t worry about me, I know what I’m doing” gives me chills.

[vikingsruleU]

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

[Thatmanz]

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!

11:59 “This next section is 13 miles which is relatively short”

Me, who’s furthest run is an 8K: Yeah that’s nothing

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. 🏃‍♂️ 💪🏼

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!!!!❤❤

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).

What a truth - ‘Sally’s strongest muscle is between her ears’. Awesome. And inspiring. 👏👏👏

[MrBrownie]

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!

[danielbest]

"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.

[sofiageorgiadou]

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.

[Revitalizee]

Whenever I feel extremely tired/sick, I just re-watch this video. It gives me strenght

[LatitudeFour]

I'm 50 running my first ultra in February. Thank you for your inspiration!

[Terrilyn_Austen]

"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

“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.

[ryonclarke]

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.

[veronicapaulsen]

"We don't only do our best when things are going our way" Love that! Way to go Sally!!

[orindamn]

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.

[Fanalieri]

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!
