The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
243. Kyle Forgeard: On Mental Resilience, 100-Mile Endurance and Health Transformation

I think mile 85, we're laughing, we're chuckling.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
243. Kyle Forgeard: On Mental Resilience, 100-Mile Endurance and Health Transformation

We're even considering like skipping the last aid station.

And then we got to mile 93 aid station.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
243. Kyle Forgeard: On Mental Resilience, 100-Mile Endurance and Health Transformation

And from 93 to 98, it was five straight miles of complete incline, winding hills.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
243. Kyle Forgeard: On Mental Resilience, 100-Mile Endurance and Health Transformation

I think we ended up parallel.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
243. Kyle Forgeard: On Mental Resilience, 100-Mile Endurance and Health Transformation

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
243. Kyle Forgeard: On Mental Resilience, 100-Mile Endurance and Health Transformation

I was looking at a mountaintop and it was only like right here.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
243. Kyle Forgeard: On Mental Resilience, 100-Mile Endurance and Health Transformation

Yeah.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
243. Kyle Forgeard: On Mental Resilience, 100-Mile Endurance and Health Transformation

And it felt like there was no end to that.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
243. Kyle Forgeard: On Mental Resilience, 100-Mile Endurance and Health Transformation

Like imagine running 93 miles.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
243. Kyle Forgeard: On Mental Resilience, 100-Mile Endurance and Health Transformation

93 this makes me sick thinking about it makes me sick 93 miles and then they're looking at us and there's like there's five miles of hills and it felt like it never ended and i guess in ultra marathoning you never run up a hill so we're just walking so we're taking 25 to 30 minute miles so it ended up being just two hours of walking up a huge mountain and

after running 93 miles.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
243. Kyle Forgeard: On Mental Resilience, 100-Mile Endurance and Health Transformation

And that was a breaking point like I've never experienced.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
243. Kyle Forgeard: On Mental Resilience, 100-Mile Endurance and Health Transformation

I kind of treated it like I was like, I hate to compare it, but like I'm sure people are tortured in the world, like army people.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
243. Kyle Forgeard: On Mental Resilience, 100-Mile Endurance and Health Transformation

I was kind of treating it like that.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
243. Kyle Forgeard: On Mental Resilience, 100-Mile Endurance and Health Transformation

I was like, yo, there's people that get tortured worse than this.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
243. Kyle Forgeard: On Mental Resilience, 100-Mile Endurance and Health Transformation

I kind of got to just think of it like that where like I'm literally getting tortured right now and I'm going to survive.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
243. Kyle Forgeard: On Mental Resilience, 100-Mile Endurance and Health Transformation

I got to beat the pain.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
243. Kyle Forgeard: On Mental Resilience, 100-Mile Endurance and Health Transformation

And, yeah, it was just shutting the brain off and being like, this is temporary.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
243. Kyle Forgeard: On Mental Resilience, 100-Mile Endurance and Health Transformation

This is going to be over.
