I just came across this guys story on a fitness forum and thought I'd post it here. David Goggins is a SEAL who took up ultra-marathons to raise money for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. (http://www.specialops.org/) The dude is a serious freak... He sleeps 3 hours a night, runs 20 miles by 6 A.M., works out a total of 42 hours a week, can do 1000 pull ups, 243 push ups, ran 203.5 miles in 48 hours. He also is the only guy to have completed training with the SEALS, Air Force Tactical Air control, and ranger school. In one interview he stated he hates running and exercising and that the only reason he does it is to raise money for the charity. Anyway just thought some of you might find him interesting...
I am starting to run and workout more since the cheapest way to make a bike go faster is to have less of a lard ass riding it. I've gained 30 lbs in the last 1 1/2 years and want to get back down to 200. Although I have no desire to do what he is doing he is an inspiration. He was 290lbs at one time.
Read his bio and watch the video at the bottom of his page.
