My six ultra running golden rules

- Опубликовано: 7 май 2024
- Yeah, I run. I’ve always run, but not like this; with a plan, bags of Tailwind, a beeping watch, and the looming deadline of a race that’s happily called the hardest 100k race in Australia. That means proper training, taking it a bit more seriously than some of my antics in the past, and likely means I can’t just eat bananas. That, and I’ve lined up for this bloody race twice and not finished (yes, there’s films on the way about that). This holiday has many themes, and one of them is running. Run you bastard.

G’day folks! Secret Screenings are back for 2024.
beaumiles.com/screenings/
I’m touring brand new (half baked) films around the east coast of Australia. On the night, I’ll also be telling you a bunch of excellent stories that may or may not have anything to do with what you've just watched. Goodonyas!
Wait... After watching Rosie Barnes (Engineering with Rosie) just now, you should do a colab with her.
Any chance that any of these could be streamed live? I'm happy to pay my "entry" ticket, but you're almost literally on the other side of the planet from me. I'd still love the chance to see one without having to fly around the world for a night out 😂
Without fail I finish your videos with a happy aura and further inspiration to lace up my Hokas. Bloody great vid as always, keep it up
Never grabbed a ticket faster in my life, looking forward to it!
0:27 What a happy baby!🤩
You look good with short hair and your wife fabulous. 👍
Always keep your hair shorter than your wife's or baby's hair.
Please refrain from the Robinson Cruso style. 😱
One video made me so worried that you had spent ten years on a desert island and were now running for your life to find your way back to civilization.
But now I see that everything is fine. 😅
Absolutely howling at those morning toots
Good to see you here, lad, good to see you here.
came to this video straight from watching a straight line mission. It's quite the vibe despite being the same (kind of) activity
"I contribute nothing" said the creative into the endless void. Seemingly unaware of the layers of beauty he was sharing. The joy of family, laughter, human connection, beauty in nature, existentialism, nostalgia, adventure, inspiration and the beauty so often missed in every day life.
Yep.
This.
I feel like that's the title to his next book... "I Contribute Nothing..." A book by a man that contributed more than he could ever know.
"With another man?"
"Yeah it was, actually." 🤣
Love ur work Beau and that you put that in
It's OK, he told some random person he loved them. It all evens out 😂
I have been running, trail running and having my own crazy adventures for a decade. No one joins me, my family thinks I am daft. Many years ago I found you and your stories and adventures. Another red bearded outdoorsman who loves the trades on the other side of the world who could inspire me and make me feel a bit of kinship. It’s not meaningless Beau. We do what we can for the world around us. The trees you planted, bottles you saved, waterways you have cleaned and the wood you repurposed, all makes the world better. Especially the stories.
What a lovely message. I completely agree.
"You heard right.... morning toots"😂
"Did you hear that? She told me where she was from and I told her I loved her. That's... embarrassing!" 😂
I love that you keep these little things in while others wouldve edited them out.
"Running is about keeping our minds in the best shape" - Beau
...and never forget to be funny at the right time. It makes the world happy.
11:36 😳 😄😆
"fart, fart, fart, fart, fart" - also Beau
Not contributing nothing, Beau. I joined my county's search & rescue team partially inspired by your work. You show what many could do with seeing and show it through joy.
Oogrooq well done 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼that’s a very noble thing to do!
Running is definitely contributing to the home while you are out there. It’s giving you the time, space, perspective, good endorphins, adventure and freedom to be the best Beau. They are some bloody good reasons because when you get back you are a better bloke.
Watching your videos give me a smile. Thanks mate.
Thanks, I think I needed to hear this as well. It often feels like a very selfish endeavour to disappear for hours on a Sunday morning and leave the family to it!
"She told me where she lived, and I told her I loved her" - Beau Miles
Great work Beau. As a now 46 year old father of two, the comment about contributing nothing while out there resonates with me, but I also know myself well enough now to know I'm a miserable bastard if I'm stuck in the house. Getting out is never a bad idea, and as you say, even a mediocre run, ride or walk elevates the mood and makes me a better man, dad, husband, manager, employee and all the other roles we play...
Morning TOOTS , your a bloody classic Beau , love it , keep it up mate , cheers to the family!
saw this comment before the part in the video, just thought you were calling him toots 😂
I was watching heard the "toots" , then he called them toots , he'll he's a classic Aussie father .. 😂
so classic that he kept that in the edit. We've all been there
@SmashAdams not me mate , I'm bloody perfect, I don't toot 😅 , wife's line successfully stolen ..!! 😂
“I contribute nothing”. I’ll bang on this gong too. You inspire adventure and creativity with your pursuits. We were made to tilt at windmills and do things for the sake of doing them. In a world where we seem to place a high priority on things that are instantly gratifying, it’s refreshing to watch someone from the “make your own damn fun” school of thought. There is nothing as satisfying as taking nothing and turning it into something.
Beau at his best is Beau doing what he loves most... Just being Beau. :D
Holy moly! This spoke to my soul... As a 42 - going on 43 - year old, running is my escape, my joy, my me time, it's everything. It's just for me, I don't have to be a mom, a wife, a worker, a cook, a cleaner, I can just be. The way you talk about running has always been an inspiration to me and I wanted to say thank you for the beautiful, special, quirky videos and for sharing the joy of running with the world!
you inspired me to run after finding your channel 4 weeks ago, done my first half marathon 3 days ago! thank you and keep the videos coming!
Had you run before? That’s insane progression if not!
Congrats now that's very rapid progress. Muscles grow very fast under new loading. Unlike tendons, sinews and cartilage which have no blood vessels so they grow much slower, making them the weakest links. That loud whipping sound of a snapping achilles sinew is horrifying. Glad it wasn't me. Take care and enjoy!
r though, I bet money the guy is a teen looking for attention. Apparently went from fortnite to a half marathon in a month 😂
@@Louis.Martin no sir
@@dresden_slowjog I don’t know what you rambling on about Dr
It made me chuckle when your youngest tried to poor the water bottle into the cup. The perfect segway from "I have to go be a parent which is twice as hard".
Yes, she loves it- and I love watching it. Better than any film or TV ive ever seen
@@BeauMiles How is Helen doing? I saw her hair is short, how is her health? Hope you forgive me for asking, no obligation to respond Xx
You do contribute, Beau. More than most of us.
I love looking at maps. I really like old maps, railroad maps, and comparing old maps to new maps. I guess that is nerdy but i never pass up a good look at a map.
Same. My daughter got me some pens, highlighters, and a new local topo map for a birthday, to replace my old one thats fallen apart. There begins transferring over 15 years of track notes, fishing holes, log jams, dotted lines, deer sightings, snake jumpings, campsites and whatever else ive stumbled across, onto the new map. 💪🤣
@@kurts64 love this
Maps are awesome
Look up the Tabula Peutingeriana, it's like a proto map used for roman travelers, it's fun to compare it to modern maps because you can still have a vague idea of what the different places are meant to represent and some still have similar sounding location names
@@CuriousFrog will do.
I also like old railroad maps, pre interstate.
There is a place in tehachapi California where trains do loop going up or down the mountain pass to either gain speed or slow down. If the train is long enough it actually goes over or under itself in the loop. Pretty cool. The wife, kids, and I went out and watched it years ago.
Your videos are always the perfect balance of entertainment and introspection. Though my life is very different than yours I try to live in a similar way, there is a lot of pain in this world both internal and external but there is also a lot of pleasure to be found if you go looking for it. Life truly is a blessing. Another cracking video.
One week before I run my first 50 mile ultra and one of my favourite RUclipsrs and runners uploads an ultra video! Couldn't be more perfect ❤️
I cried. I admit - the stuff about the world and our place in it. I also think this was incredibly well written
Tell me one thing that Beau can’t do.
Exactly, there’s nothing. He can/does do everything.
Love the work Beau keep it up ❤ 😊
You produce beautiful authentic short films in a world that's addicted to the algorithm and genuinely have an impact on people's lives like mine, on the other side of the world who don't get to have a role model like you in their "real" world. So the line of thinking that you contribute nothing is bullshirt ... When I grow up I want to be like beau
Wow... almost all of your videos are inspirational, but this has to be one of the best! I love what you're putting out there Beau. Thank you so much!
Thank you for creating this content. BIG LOVE to you and the fam!
I look forward to the next film, this one was wonderful as ever and a delight to watch!
Huge inspiration to me too Beau. Love your writing, presentation, everything. My muscle condition all but wipes out running but you motivate in so many other ways, you legend!
You've contributed to my awareness of my surroundings and my happiness and I'm certain the same can be said for so many of the others who watch and continue to be inspired by you.
Love the frequency of your uploads recently. Your videos are always entertaining! 😀
Calm and high quality content, love it. Thank you!
Awesome stuff Beau, so glad you appreciate what you and your body are able to do. You are an inspiration and it really makes me want to go running again.
Thanks Beau! IfI could give you 1000 thumbs up I would. Your storytelling is gowing with you
Such an under rated channel. Cant wait for the next film! You go beau❤
Kicked my butt into running for the first time in a while with a whole new outlook and appreciation- love the new video Beau!
I love Australia thankyou Beau xx we really appreciate you and your family..you contribute more than you think
Gosh I feel blessed every time I see the notification that a new video has dropped. I think you are the happiest person on the planet honestly. It gives me hope. Love your work Beau and can't wait to see how it all turned out!
i think you contribute more than you think.
your videos have given inspiration. hope. joy. laughter. comfort.
i know that i come back over and over again because there is absolute wisdom and happiness here. thank you.
You are an absolute inspiration mate. Days get a little bit brighter when you've uploaded
been following your videos for a good 4 years now and your mindset and the way you look at life has helped me in mine i was struggling loads with school work and just couldnt apply myself but your videos made me realise i need to do more things and get out so i started doing little walks and runs. 4 years later im getting to the end of a graphics course with some great designs and overall im feeling way better in myself thanks so much beau. also early gang 4 mins.
Love watching the videos mate. Me and my son watch them together. Always exciting to see what you randomly eat or drink .
Life is precious. I wish you and the family health and happiness .
Beau, you have helped me get out of my comfort zone and go for all my wild ideas I have. You are the man, and I love all your content. Breath of fresh air for sure. Thank you and keep it up! 👍
Well beau! You’ve done it again. Where so many are focused on the how and the how long and the seriousness of it all, it’s so refreshing to see the silliness and the soul behind the running. Keep on keeping on you wonderful human bean!
Brilliant video as always Beau! I have just got into trail running the past few months and the feeling of freedom is unreal. My favorite runs are the long ones through the hills.
I love hearing the excitement in your voice when you're out running somewhere beautiful coz thats the things I say to myself! Get goosebumps just getting to run in gorgeous places! Another great video
Oh my goodness do I ever love this! As a long time trail runner I've felt this but not had the words. You perfectly summed up trail running for me. Thanks mate!
This was/is amazing. Thanks for sharing this with us. Can't wait for the sequel.
Really appreciated the bit about gratitude. The way you film and tell stories is always such a raw and real expression of experiencing the world. Always look forward to a new video, even if it's sorting bolts haha :)
This is so well timed.
I'm doing a very hilly 112+mile bike ride at the weekend, the training is complete, I'm watching this while taking a break from finishing the pre event bike checks and that little monologue at the end was just what I needed to hear.
Thanks for another great video Beau. Inspirational as always. I've recently signed up for my first 50k trail run in October here in the UK. Your content always inspires me. I've been an avid follower since Mile an Hour. Keep up the great work. Cheers! Michael
“I contribute nothing” hit hard. This is something that I feel with every long run or training block commitment as a father of three young boys. You hit the nail on the head with the juxtaposition that is presented when we commit to doing something that doesn’t have a direct benefit to those that we care most about. Yes, taking care of ourselves allows us to take care of others but there certainly is diminishing returns when you ramp your mileage up beyond a certain point. Thanks for the entertaining video - I found it to be refreshingly light
Love watching Beau run to all our favourite places in the high country! So good.
One trip we did the Falls to Hotham crossing with our kids. Husband (absolute legend) ran back to Falls to get the car the next day while we relaxed at the Moritz.
Awesome film mate. Totally sums up why I love trail running.
Have ran, hiked and skied the trails you ran many times.
Such a magical place
YES!!!! Running content is what led me to your channel many years ago (I am also an ultra running content creator)...but then I stayed for the great story telling and other content you do. I like it all. Good on Ya Beau!!
Beau, this was beautiful. It was so nice to see your family involved in your journey. You made me nostalgic for the high country and the adventures that I've had there with my family.
Beau, you contribute something incredible to this world. Your joy is infectious!
Hey Beau, loved that video on 6 life lessons from ultra running boot camp, including you getting emotional about the world and how lucky you are, and appreciating your 3 girls..
You’re a quirky very unique and honest man - and you make me laugh. I am inspired to get back into running again.
You did very well in the Hut to Hut! Looking forward to that video.
I have been following Beau for years now and continue to be amazed at the powerful musings he provides for us along his journeys. As a previously serious runner who might still be trying to hold onto it longer than I should, I truly appreciate Beau's perspective on the world and his family. I have also found myself recently talking to myself and narrating my surroundings on runs/bike rides. It is so much more enjoyable!
Love how this one came together! Really great film as always Beau. Well worth the Patreon sub to see it in development!
Truly wholesome bloke, thanks for this. Just had the man flu and trying to get back into running, this almost had me in tears!
Nice video mate. I watched this just after I put together another little running plan for myself as I can feel the cobwebs slowly taking over my mind and health. Looking forward to the next one where you doc the ultra! Take it easy Beau, thanks for the inspiration - as always!
Yesterday running from home to the garden with a wheelbarrow full of wood, today with a brush cutter and then a fantastic new video from Beau - wonderful days. Thank you for the six life lessons. Greetings from Germany
I absolutely LOVE your channel but especially the running content Beau. Found your channel years ago when you put out “Trails Of Miles” and been here ever since. Looking forward to the race day video :-)
Great stuff as always mate! I'm not Australian but watching your channel bloody makes me want to be! Awesome to see people enjoying all of life's magic that normally goes unnoticed! Cheers
you are so enjoyable to watch, i can not wait until this channel explodes because it will, you are to good of a film maker. One thing to bring up, is i know alot of youtubers have been pulling the family out of videos for safety, speak to demo ranch about it, he explains it well. You have such a amazing wife and family just want you all to be wonderfully happy and safe. just something to keep in mind. good luck at the race i hope you finish!!
“I love you!” , “it’s the meaning of having a heart” such beautiful human passion ❤
Nice one Beau, reckon I have hiked most of that patch just not running! Love your love of the outdoors mate. Great vid as usual. And awesome to see the kiddies growing up.
A body of work is work. Love you for that. Another man :) What a beautiful film, much loves from from bavaria
Youre an absolute legend Beau and you contribute a whole lot. I winked to Kelly Slater on a plane to Fiji yesterday but I'd be way more stoked to run past you and say 'Hey, are you Beau?!'.
This video was amazing. Perfectly timed as I start a 16 week marathon block, which I initially dreaded. You've put the privilege into perspective. Love your work Beau!
From one runner to another, thank you for the insight, infectious enthusiasm, and wonderful mindset.
Almost ten years ago I ran my first race, a half marathon. I inadvertently chose one of the hilliest races in the state, but still had a lovely time. I trained a little more seriously the next year, and set a half marathon PR of just under two hours, which was lovely. I had to take four years off of running due to some injuries, and it was a terrible time, but by 2022 I was finally healed back up enough to run again, and life is just magical. I ran my first full marathon then, hiked the entire coast of Oregon in 2023, and this year am working on speed. I've run my fastest 5k and 10k races since 2016, and am on track to challenge my half marathon PR in a few weeks.
Your videos have definitely helped me as I clawed my way back to being a runner again. Thank you.
amazing Beau! One of my faves so far! thank you :)
Bootcamp? More like beaut camp. What gorgeous land we live on!
Appreciate your curiosity and wonderful depiction of such beautiful Australian landscape
Sounds strange, but I think watching your videos each month and listening outlook on life and taking in your quotes brings me back to earth and almost makes me appreciate the world more. Love your work Beau. See you at your show 🤙🏻
What a beautiful video and a beautiful family! And i love the music!
I am a simple man, this film ends with "that will also be a film" and my smile gets even bigger.
I liked the video. Leaving a comment now. And now, I begin enjoying the pleasures of another Beau video. "excited" is an understatement.
Another awesome video, thanks, Beau
It's the best shape I have seen you in for some time. Good work mate 👍
I wish, so truly deeply, that I felt even as much as half of the enjoyment which Beau feels. I enjoy watching his videos, and especially this one because I enjoy seeing happy humans, enjoying their short lives on this planet. I hate my life and hope for death most days. Thank you for creating these videos, Mr. Miles. These create a pleasant albeit fleeting moment of escape from the hell that is living inside myself. Love you.
Your videos are a wonderful place to breathe, thank you.
I feel that to be able to take advantage of the moment and do what makes you feel alive is paying tribute to the negativity in the world by giving it some meaning. I mean, If everything is going well in a moment, a person ought to be able to enjoy and experience it, otherwise what's the point of it all? A world full of war and suffering is also a world full of peace and gratitude. Live your current chapter to it's fullest in honor of those who can't. Well composed video as always mate!
Looking forward to the Hut 2 Hut video, that event’s one I’d love to take a crack at. Great video, I’ve shared it with the local running group down here in South West Victoria.
running is the best thing for one's mental health, dunno where I'd be without it
The joint pain would do the opposite for me i guess
Man do I love this channel. Keep it up Beau!
So beautifully narrated and filmed. Inspiring and endearing 💛
You can only exist in the way you want in the company of others, love this!
It's a pleasure being the same age as you Beau. I run, and worked at a university, and love that your content always speaks so directly to my life experience, even continents away.
Damn it Beau. You’ve made me realise how much I’ve missed those runs by myself out in the trails. This is a bit of a kick in the butt to get back out there. Thanks 🙏
I’ve heard about that hut to hut race. 6000m vert, brutal 😮 congrats.
Wow good timing on the video dude! Im currently training to get to the 100k milestone! Your on the list of inspiring people for me so thanks for another video!
Excellent and inspirational as always Beau!
Been watching old videos just last night waiting for beau new welcome.
Hey Beau. I've been watching your videos for a few years now. Recently I was out for a few nights at a local park. I stopped at one of the picnic tables and someone had left half of a perfectly good clementine. I didn't think much of it at first but suddenly I remembered you. And I thought what would Beau do in this moment. So I picked up that clementine, and a few hours later in the heat of the day enjoyed it very much. Your videos have definitely left an impression on me, so thanks. Happy trails from the USA
love this one. I find getting up into the countryside on long 2-3 hour runs is so beneficial for my mental health. just up there in hills talking to myself and processing things that have been bothering me. life changing experiences
love it beau, i just simply love it
If running maintains your physical and mental health, then that is a contribution- to yourself and those around you.
Hey Beau. I'm a big fan of your videos. I've been watching from Nova Scotia, Canada for the past few years. Huge inspiration. I'm spending the next month or so in Australia and doing as much running as I can. Hope to catch you on a trail somewhere and tip my hat.
I ran behind you for the first few kms of H2H and thankfully no toots (or ignorance is bliss) 😂
I was in a funk earlier today, and watching this put a smile on my face. Beau always has good vibes :)
