The Badwater 135 Film Is Live 🎬
|
Hi everyone, Jeff Pelletier's Badwater 135 film is live on YouTube. He put a ton of effort into this video and I'm very excited to share this. 135 miles through Death Valley. The hottest place on Earth, at the hottest time of year. I joined Jeff's crew, paced him through some of the hardest miles I've ever witnessed, and we documented the whole thing from start to finish. No aid stations. No drop bags. Just a small team keeping one runner moving forward through 120°F+ heat. [WATCH THE FULL FILM ON YOUTUBE] A few things you'll learn from this film:

"Get to know your mind." — Dr. Kasim Al-Mashat on The Extramilest Show #120 Coach Floris here, hope you're well! In recent months I've come to realize that full awareness of your body and mind is a super power. This is the single highest-leverage action for any athlete. Most stress isn't coming from the run itself, it's from unaware thoughts, overthinking and automatic reactivity. Building awareness becomes the foundation for calmer training, deeper sleep, and better recovery. Dr. Kasim...
