David Goggins running & ultramarathons
David Goggins began ultra running as a means of raising money for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation after 12 Navy SEALs died during Operation Red Wings in Afghanistan in 2005.
He has raised more than $2million for the charity since his first ultra challenge that year – the San Diego One Day, where he ran 101 miles in 18 hours and 56 minutes.

The 2006 event was only his second ultra marathon, but he managed a ninth-place finish as he crossed the line in 33:23:00. He says that effort was the inspiration behind his 40% rule, which argues that the body has 60% more to give when the mind begins to give up.
