Often can be seen that athletes, however, ignore their core health and fitness because they are determined to reach their goals no matter what. But sometimes these ignorances could lead to collateral damage. Recently, a former Navy officer and athlete, David Goggins, often referred to as ‘The hardest MotherF**ker on the planet,’ has been avoiding his serious health concerns and indulging in intense training.
The Ultramarathon runner’s situation is so alarming that the Bodybuilding community expressed their worry and asked him to seek medical help as soon as possible. The IFBB pro coach and YouTuber, Greg Doucette, uploaded a post regardless of this matter.

Doucette posted a video of Googins on his IG account, showcasing how bad the situation has become. It can be seen in the video that Goggins is showing his feet. He pressed his feet with his fingers and fingerprints were printed, but he didn’t seem to pay much attention to this. “My fingers, so, a lot of you don’t like to run. That got taken away from you for a few months. But who cares? Life will not always be 70 and sunny,” said the SEAL in the video.
