Running is such a primitive emotion in unison with all senses. Trail running simply unlocks the door that modern society has locked. The passion for the lifestyle is immeasurable in this video.

[@dpw81]

"Deep down, we're all still runners" I've been running for 5 years this year, I never thought I'd say that. It provides me with so much, it might have even saved my life. I will always be a runner.

[@wtaft]

Three years for me. Same same. I'll never stop as long as I am able.

[@SpedisOwl]

51 years here. Will run as long as the body holds up. Approaching 950 miles so far this year.

[@dpw81]

Haha, I actually forgot that I'd commented on this. Just came back to watch again because its one of my favourites. Coming up to 7 years this year and still going...

[@CAIrondad]

Gotta love it!!!!! Seeing this older brother, at the top of a tree, swinging back a forth!! ha ha! Still a child at heart! I love his focus on the simplicity of it all.... AMEN!!!

[@DaffyJeffy]

I live and trail/mountain run in Franklin County Maine. Read this man's books, they're great.

[@l0subbacultcha0l]

amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "Ideally i would like to be a bird but running is a close second"

[@nanocr]

+Juliana Souza voce seria um passaro muito bonito

[@ryanhollenbach1559]

Love the last line..."Ideally you'd like to be a bird but running is a close 2nd" :)

[@fredpilon3466]

Great tribute to an outstanding scientist and ultrarunner. He was never one to seek the limelight, but let his actions speak for him instead.

[@agententropy5577]

This guy. When someone can put words so eloquently, yet succinctly, to one of my greatest passions, I'm imbued with the most acute sense of "un-alone-ness". 2:26, this guy, he gets it.

[@DeniM-cv2ro]

I want that feeling back, that feeling that he can’t even describe. So this morning I’m up early at 5am to beat the Australian heat for my first run in over six months, here goes 👌

[@kcc9775]

Wow how inspiring. I am 57 and have been a runner for the past 30 + years . This video surely gave me a lift . Thank you and thank you.

[@mrdrivebytrucker]

Wow. I think Bernd is trying to put something into words that just can't be explained. We see so many wondrous things when we are out on these trail runs and somehow we become a part of this beauty. It brings me to tears too. For me I become sad when I think that the time is coming, as I get older, when I won't be a part of it any longer. Maybe when my body won't allow me to run I will hike these trails but there is a time coming that will make me sad. Maybe thats what Bernd is feeling when he gets so emotional. Great video.

[@kaysvideowebsite]

You should read the poem: Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night

[@rhea.m.vincent1302]

you can run till you drop dead. Let nobody tell you otherwise.

[@Opeth12341]

I've been reading Bernd's book One Wild Bird at a Time. I highly recommend it. Pure joy. He's my new idol.

[@DaxRoss]

I was only able to get about halfway through before taking off for a run. Excellent.

[@juliovillagran4105]

I watched this 6 times before I went for my run last night. I was infected by his passion and I love the music.

[@JohnGriffith]

Straight onto the favourites list. I feel so many of his emotions. I took up running late and regret the time I missed when I was much younger.

[@tubezv]

"How much little things matter and how far they can take you". great talk. wen you will long run you will find this little important things.

[@paymefit]

I enjoyed this. Thank you Bernd for sharing your wisdom and knowledge. We are all better with you in our lives.

[@AdamStevens91]

This is one of my favourite running videos for sure, when I grow up, that's what I wanna be like! :)

[@tfosterjr1]

What an inspiring individual and film...I will read everything he chooses to write about running

[@varunretro]

Simplicity is beautiful

[@MD-tr6sh]

This man has found the answer many of us are still looking for.

[@2600nano]

Bernd is truly leaving the dream and what a dream!

[@TheJamesgriff]

i never comment on videos, but!, this is excellent!!! a man that can find so much joy in something that brings him to tears when he talks about it... simply passionate.

[@Lssjg702]

Beautifully said this is why we run.

[@salazteca1]

What a beautiful short film

[@frogie147]

#inspiring #simple but not that "simple" #Hundreds of hours of hard work that totally worth for "these" unique moments of joy...

[@SrikanthJandhyala]

Thank you fro introducing me to Bernd Heinrich. He definitely made me think why i run why i enjoy it. It makes me see places a pace where i can genuinely enjoy and at the same time not be bored by the slowness.

[@zarshygr3304]

gosh i just teared right before he did. wow i am amazed! running is so much more than physical or mental, it somewhat feeds the soul, like he does.

[@georgelebessisjr9203]

Wow. I love the connection he made with running as the most basic human function and our spirit. It's ingrained in us to MOVE! Beautiful video.

[@scrumper10]

Fantastic. I watch this before every long distance run.

[@xXHollywoodjrXx]

Very beautiful thoughts of running coming from such a wise man. Now that's amazing.

[@TheCrazyCatHouse]

What an awesome way of living your life. Nice Cabin in the woods and run. Thanks for this.

[@wdevos9039]

one of the richest people I have ever seen

[@colincassell9752]

This is great, looking forward to more videos from Bernd Heinrich.

[@bellavista7]

Great video! Thanks.

[@JollesLab]

What a beautifully shot video about an amazing man, which I know mainly about his research on ravens and not running perce

[@vivianwalker8973]

Amen brother

[@EricTheExplorer]

So inspiring!

[@frederichgoldberg1836]

my hero, my inspiration.....fenomenal !!!!

[@cathycoutu3056]

What a wonderful life"...

[@erikkemper]

I see..... im not alone :) As Jan Knippenberg (Hoek van Holland to Stockholm, 1600km in 18 days, 1974 and a lote more) said: Im a runner not a racer! Great video

[@rustydaines6859]

This is existentialism personified....

[@melidalopez8646]

Great story!!

[@TheGarrettscaringi]

Beautifully put

[@jamesroche3808]

Bernd is my favorite runner, Why We Run is my favorite book and whoever made this video did this man justice. Great video!

[@landontfarnworth3972]

That what makes me move im 15 and love running so much I dream of places like that where I'm not held back by city limits and where I can enjoy nature at its simplest

[@michelfingado202]

Beautiful. Others that age have litte to no connection to nature... Now that you're 19, do you still feel that way?

[@otmfit]

Love it... I love seeing someone so affected by the beauty and simplicity of running.

[@jackyong815]

Love it, love it, love it!!! ⁠ As a Mainland Chinese, thrilled to know Salomon is now owned by Anta of China #MadeInChina2025 #BeltAndRoad #BeijingOlympics2022 #OccupyMars2024

[@juliovillagran4105]

I was wondering while China excels in the Olympics why are they are so bad at football (soccer). I know that the government spends millions but the woman's team only managed 1 draw and 2 losses while the men didn't qualify.

[@romyjugroo4542]

Thank you for sharing these nice thoughts.

[@kechunur4165]

I almost drop tears, this is amazing. thanks

[@orfeliog.leongarcia6727]

좋아요

[@user-xn2hf9re8r]

i do hope he has some company out there - lovely chap and far too pleasant to be on his own

[@okantichrist]

s being on your own can be great 👍🏻

[@juliovillagran4105]

He seems to be the type who can enjoy life on his own. I watched this half a dozen times before my run last night. So much passion.

[@erikkemper]

Epic !!! My opinion: 1 of the best on youtube :)

[@hassanb.5585]

I wish I can lead such a simple life ..

[@peanutismint]

I just don't get running and I guess I never will. I'm glad some people have something they enjoy though.

[@runningwithacat4229]

If you want to see the top ultrarunner of all time check Yiannis Kouros forever running. The video has english subtitles and is fantastic.

[@josemariaurramontes5793]

volar como un pájaro...pero correr se acerca mucho...

[@plusbonus9017]

To me running is exercise and meditation combined.

[@Joeyang2008]

Something inspired people to move on

[@zIzFinlayzIz]

ah thats a class video, he's a deadly man:)

[@edselroad]

Did the To The Sea episode ever come out?

[@peanutismint]
