“Endurance athlete Robbie Balenger finds the limits of perseverance and self-discovery during an audacious, 63-day challenge called The Colorado Crush. He sets out to complete the 500-mile Colorado Trail, the Leadville race series, and all Colorado 14ers in just one summer. These three feats – each lifetime achievements of their own – push Robbie to his mental and physical edge over an epic journey.”

The video description itself tells you everything you need to know about the insane task that Balenger took on when he took the first step of his incredible summer journey. But it can’t prepare you for the trip you’re about to go on with him when you give this short documentary by Audacious a watch.

“Wow, that was so good I had to watch it twice! You’re an inspiration to me who also found running later in life at 30 and are proof that hard work pays off! I can’t wait to watch all your future successes and I wish you all the best,” wrote Kris Jones.

So settle down with coffee, tea, or an electrolyte drink (hey, it’s getting hot), put your legs up for once, and let Balenger inspire your next run. After all, as Steven Seighman wrote, Balenger’s feat is “So inspiring! Robbie continues to show up and remind us that we can go beyond the limits we set for ourselves.”
