In this special episode of the 46 of 46 Podcast, we head to Old Forge, NY, for the inaugural Forge Quad-Athlon — a one-of-a-kind race that pushes body and mind through four disciplines: bike, hike, paddle, and run. But this isn’t just a story about racing — it’s a story about community, courage, and everyday people doing extraordinary things.

Eight members from the Great Range Athlete and Seek To Do More coaching programs signed up to take on this challenge together. In this roundtable-style conversation, you’ll hear from several of them as they share what it was like to take on the course, push their limits, and show up not just for themselves — but for each other.

We talk about the power of community accountability, how mindset and preparation made all the difference, and why most people are capable of far more than they believe. If you’ve ever felt the pull to do more, try something new, or push past your limits — this episode will light that fire.

Inside this episode:
  • What it’s like to bike, hike, paddle, and run through the Adirondacks in one epic race
  • How coaching and community created the momentum for 8 people to say “yes”
  • Why you're stronger than you think — and how to prove it to yourself
