I interviewed him last week as part of the run-up to the event and to him it wasn’t about the press, it wasn’t about the record, it was about his redemption.

This times he’s doing it without the fanfare, in a small Nashville gym – not on national tv. He set out again yesterday to beat the 24 hour world pull up record (which, by the way, is 4,020).

He made a previous attempt on the Today Show and failed…publicly…in front of millions of people…when he had a partial forearm tear.Ī lot of people would have given up, but David wasn’t done. If you don’t know, David Goggins is a former 300 pound man turned ultra marathoner who’s been deemed by some people as the “toughest athlete on the planet.” He’s done some ridiculous races including 100 milers, Badwater and a 200 mile race.ĭavid’s changing up his usual ultra marathon racing with his attempt at a 24 hour world record pull up attempt. I first wrote about David about a year ago.

Last sunday I got to interview one of the most intense people I know – David Goggins.
