David Goggins – The Long Run

with 8 comments

“When you think you are about ready to quit….you’re only at 40% of your potential” – David Goggins

If you like this video short by L-Studio, you can read more David at his website. He is an active member of the  Navy Seals and avid ultra-marathon runner and triathlete.

He took up endurance running fairly recently and as his first triathlon completed the grueling Ultra-Man (more than a double Ironman!). I love to see stories about people like David, who are shattering our limiting beliefs about the human potential.

  5. Hey Darrick, just click on the little “” icon in the bottom right of the video. You can then copy the “embed” code and paste that into your post. It should slot in just like a YouTube video does.
