The Rich Roll Podcast: 50 Marathons, Grief, and the Mindset to Keep Moving

What does it take to run 50 marathons in 50 states in 24 days—and why would anyone attempt it? In this condensed Rich Roll Podcast summary, Rich Roll talks with William Goodge about the logistics, mindset, and emotional engine behind one of the most extreme endurance challenges ever planned. Instead of the full conversation, get the key ideas in just a few minutes: how Goodge manages recovery, sleep, nutrition, heat training, and live verification; why grief after losing his mother to cancer became fuel for a Stand Up to Cancer fundraiser; and how he uses a simple question—can I take one more step?—to push through fear and pain. You’ll also hear how he thinks about resilience, public skepticism, and the discipline required for ultra-running, mental health, and leadership under pressure. Listen now to get the key ideas in minutes.
