Pierce Showe Broke a World Record by Running 125 Half Marathons in 125 Days on a Treadmill—And Did It All for a Deeper Purpose

Pierce Showe is redefining what consistency, conviction, and calling look like in the world of ultra-endurance running. He just broke the Guinness World Record for most consecutive half marathons on a treadmill—running 13.1 miles every single day for 125 days straight—and he’s here to talk about what it took, and why it mattered. As a running coach and motivational content creator, Pierce is on a mission that’s as physical as it is spiritual. Driven by faith, discipline, and a deep sense of purpose, he’s showing the world that you don’t need a podium to be powerful, you just need a reason that moves you. But let’s be clear: Pierce has landed on those podiums, too. His ultra-running resume speaks volumes: 1st place at the Miami 100 (100-mile race) in 21:23:00 (2024); 1st place at the Coyote Trail Run (50-mile trail race) in 9:54:59 (2023); 3rd place at the Blazin' Summer Sufferfest (54 km) in 6:12:06 (2024). His personal records are strong: 21:23:00 for 100 miles; 10:41:48 for 100k; and 9:54:59 for 50 miles. From battling dark mental stretches mid-race to climbing onto a treadmill before dawn, Pierce is here to share what keeps him grounded, what fuels his discipline, and how he's turning mileage into meaning. From the trail to the screen, Pierce isn’t just building endurance, he’s looking to build impact. And through every step, he proves that transformation doesn’t start with the legs. It starts with belief. In today's conversation, Pierce takes me through this wild endeavor and adventure, the crazy stories that come with breaking a world record, what comes next for him, why he wears a "Jesus is King" shirt, the power of consistency, and lessons he's learned along the way.
