Overcoming the difficulties of an ultramarathon reminds me that I can overcome the difficulties of life

Scott Jurek 27 quotes

Humans aren't built to sit al...

Humans aren't built to sit all day. Nor are we built for the kinds of repetitive, small movements that so much of today's specialized work demands. Our bodies crave big, varied movements that originate at the core of our body.

Scott Jurek 27 quotes

You could carry your burdens ...

You could carry your burdens lightly or with great effort. You could worry about tomorrow or not. You could imagine horrible fates or garland-filled tomorrows. None of it mattered as long as you moved, as long as you did something. Asking why was fine, but it wasn't action. Nothing brought the rewards of moving, of running. Sometimes you just do things.

As powerful as our legs are, ...

As powerful as our legs are, as magnificent as our lungs and arms and muscles are, nothing matters more than the mind.

We all lose sometimes. We fai...

We all lose sometimes. We fail to get what we want. Friends and loved ones leave. We make a decision we regret. We try our hardest and come up short. It's not the losing that defines us. It's how we lose. It's what we do afterward.

For me, challenging myself wi...

For me, challenging myself with this type of endeavor [ultramarathons] brings the best out in me because even at the darkest, deepest moments when I feel like I can't go on, when I feel like there's no chance I could break the record or much less finish the trail, somehow I find that strength inside of me.

Every single one of us posses...

Every single one of us possesses the strength to attempt something he isn't sure he can accomplish. It can be running a mile, or a 10K race, or 100 miles. It can be changing a career, losing 5 pounds, or telling someone you love her (or him).

Fear is what makes you come a...

Fear is what makes you come alive, the lure of the unknown - can I do this? - thats where the growth comes from, the pain. I dont remember the running effortlessly; I remember the hard times; adversity breathes transformation.

Scott Jurek 27 quotes

We can live as we were meant ...

We can live as we were meant to live - simply, joyously, of and on the earth. We can live with all our effort and with pure happiness.

Scott Jurek 27 quotes

We strive toward a goal, and ...

We strive toward a goal, and whether we achieve it or not is important, but it's not what's most important. What matters is how we move toward that goal.

Train at your current fitness level, or slightly above — not where you want to be.

Scott Jurek 27 quotes

It's a hard, simple calculus:...

It's a hard, simple calculus: Run until you can't run anymore. Then run some more. Find a new source of energy and will. Then run even faster.

Scott Jurek 27 quotes

The reward of running — of an...

The reward of running — of anything — lies within us … We focus on something external to motivate us, but we need to remember that it’s the process of reaching for that prize — not the prize itself — that can bring us peace and joy.

We move forward, but we must stay in the present.

Nature's arena has a way of humbling and energizing us.

You can hurt more than you ever thought possible, then continue until you discover that hurting isn't that big a deal.

Every single one of us possesses the strength to attempt something he isn't sure he can accomplish.

Most of all, the ultra distance leaves you alone with your thoughts to an excruciating extent. Whatever song you have in your head had better be a good one. Whatever story you are telling yourself had better be a story about going on. There is no room for negativity. The reason most people quit has nothing to do with their body.
