I enjoy following other runners back and seeing their routes in different parts of the world.
All footage for this video was filmed while out on my runs. Don't forget to stop and enjoy the view once in a while. It's not always about chasing that faster pace.

A fantastic video my trail running friend! :) You captured ALL the elements that make our sport so special. A great script, fantastic scenery and a lovely flow to the editing. These notes take away from the spiritual aspect of what you were describing, but I just wanted to also acknowledge your video work too!
Thank you Phil! So happy you enjoyed it. Also, thank you for the encouragement on going further with my videos - hopefully I can continue this going forward. I really appreciate your comments on the video work - I see now that actually creating a script goes a long way to improving overall quality.
@@trailrunningforlife Yes Ive dabbled with a few scripts myself and it does help to frame the whole video better. Im still very much learning like you! :)
Much like driving a car or riding my motorcycle while alone, I find trail running helps me clear my mind of all the stresses in my life and allows me to think more clearly about my future and solutions to ongoing problems. I once heard, "you cannot be depressed while on a walk through the woods", I feel closer to myself and to the Earth under my feet, nothing brings me more pain and joy than that. Salute my friend!
I really like that quote about walking in the woods. It definitely always rings true in my case. All the best to you!
Absolutely beautiful 😍
Wow, I don't know where you run but these locations are gorgeous! The aerial/drone footage is stunning! What a great love letter to trail running, very well said and well put together. A must-watch for all and future trail runners 👍
Hey Tom, thank you so much for the kind words. I do try to find interesting and varied places to run trails wherever I live. I think I've been lucky enough to run in some of the best places across England and Wales now. Next up Scotland I guess!
Hey very inspiring video! Thank you for sharing, we feel extremely well the feeling of running in nature in freedom and I agree 100%! This is why I should try run!
What a great video!
Thank you. Nice and interesting content. Positive. 😉👍
Thank you! 😀
Great video.
Excellent video! There is something magical about running. Especially in nature.
Thanks Dan. Amazing how captivating that 'magic' can be. Especially after crossing the initial hurdles that new runners have - shin splints, endurance, etc... Once over those things, the experience can be downright addictive!
Awesome running footage! Love the drone shoots! I also love trail running bro! Fully watched with huge appreciation and interest! Best wishes my friend!
Thank you Mihai, that means a lot! It's the first time I have put my voice into one of my running videos, a large hurdle that feels good to have overcome. Your content has been inspiring, and it's great that we have a shared love and appreciation for trail running 🙌
@@trailrunningforlife yah that's great we can get inspired each other and inspire others too! ✌️
What a fantastic and inspiring video. I love it and watched it twice consecutively! I never ran more than 24 km on Road and 20km in the desert (and dunes), but this resonates so much with me. Thank you for sharing your passion.
Thanks for stopping by and watching! The desert and sand dunes sound like a challenge for sure! I hope this motivates you to continue on your running journey and seek out some new locations and trails to enjoy!
Hi mate. Just checking out one of your other videos here. What a beautifully done film, well done. It really captures the feeling, and the reasons why trail running is so awesome.
Thanks for stopping by Mark, and for the kind words! I really appreciate it. Keep well and all the best for the week ahead.
Great video Man. Thank you for the inspiration
Thanks for watching and being inspired along with me! 🙌
Absolutely Love this Video . Well Said and couldn't agree more as to what you say . Great to hear someone else speak that way and be on the same wave length as other trail runners . Running the trails is my happy place .
Thanks for watching Justine 🙌 We all need that happy place - I'm so thankful that I can use trail running to take me there.
What an incredible video bro! You explained your passion for running so well and it was truly inspiring. Also loved the footage! Can't wait for the next video!
Thanks man! I am beginning to think of new content and ideas now - just need the time to sit down and edit!
Beautiful scenery in your video! Yes, running is meditative for me too! I love running trails to keep connected to nature and to enjoy those moments of peacefulness and stillness.
Thank you Gill. I collected footage from some of my favourite running spots for this. I'm thrilled we share some of the same reasons for running. Happy trails! 🙌
@@trailrunningforlife it is lovely we love the same thing! I'm looking forward to more of your videos!
Loving the area you run in & great footage for the video. Totally agree with your reasons for running, the benefits are so wide-ranging 🏃♂
Thanks Martin! The footage is mostly from West Wales where I am based now, but included a bit from Hampshire, England and the east coast of and northern parts of South Africa too.
I didn't include one great reason (which you mentioned in your 'Why do I run' video) - which is "make each run an adventure". That's a big part of it for me too. Not having a set route all the time and making quick, dynamic decisions on the fly to change the route and find new places.
Beautiful video and great explanation of your passion for Trail Running. I completely agree - and would only add that for me the growth in mental strength, resilience and confidence from Trail Running has been a massive thing for me - and helps me achieve more than I ever thought I could not only in Running but also in the rest of my life. Keep it the great work!
Thank you! I agree on those points too. There is such a huge spread of good stuff that it can provide.
Looking forward to more of your Berkeley marathons training and event footage!
Is a lovely place and a great video, I love your channel 👏👏👏
Thank you Juan. All the best on your running!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Your exploration of why we run really resonated with me.
Thanks so much for taking the time to check it out. Really happy it struck a chord with you.
Fantastic video I love trail running though I only do five miles at a time on the south west coat path in south Devon amazing terrain to run subscribed
High five for a shared love of the trail! Doesn't matter the mileage as long as we're reaping the rewards as I'm sure you'll agree. Love the look of your videos around South Devon. I'll definitely be swinging by to watch. I love running trails along the coast (I did the North Coast 110 (Devon) not so long ago! Absolutely loved my time running along there, even though much of it was during the night.
@@trailrunningforlife thanks mate really appreciate that. Definitely nothing better than getting out for a run feeling of freedom and like you said clearing your mind. I bet the north devon run was amazing even if it was mostly at night
As a road guy, I'm always tempted to run trails and move into ultra racing! Great stuff here! Keep pushing my friend!
Thanks Paul. You would excel on the trail and in the ultra space, I'm sure of it! Thanks for stopping by 👍
@@trailrunningforlife I think we'll find out very soon if I have what it takes to go ultra! Keep pushing!
Beautifully shot and produced Sean. I agree with all your points and I love that quote. Where are you located, those landscapes are insane.
Thanks Sage! These shots were mainly taken where I live now in Wales, UK. Mostly west coast, with some near the Brecon Beacons. Other bits were from the South and East areas of England, and a few shots (e.g. beaches with waves) were on the east coast of South Africa, with the drone shot over the dryer regions being northern South Africa (Limpopo).
Thanks for stopping by!
Great video
Thanks Dan. I enjoyed your recent fast packing video too! 🙌
@@trailrunningforlife glad you liked it 👍
And this is why I cycle 😊
We're completely aligned on our reasons! I love the fact that parallels can be drawn across disciplines like this.
Great vid, so the question should really be: why not trail run? 😉
True! Maybe that is the title for a follow up video! 😁 Thanks for watching.
Great video, well done. I've written a fell running comedy if you would like to give it a listen. best wishes to you from north Lancashire, UK.
I can think of more reasons why NOT to trail run.
