Amazing!!! I watched the original video hundreds of times, it was a huge source of inspiration for me. I love Bernd Heinrich as a biologist and writer and seeing him as an excellent runner adds even more admiration for this great human being! I'm so grateful for this extended version! Thank you Salomon, good job!

German mind and work ethics

[@chaetostoma]

These short films are a thing of beauty and are also criminally underwatched. People do not know what they are missing. Thank you Salomon!

[@bj0lly]

I thought I wanted to be Kilian Jornet when I grew up. Now I want to be Bernd Heinrich! Beautiful film Salomon!

[@Lhotse1968]

Kilian and Bernd are awesome. Thats wat we are living for

[@steverusuk]

Agree!

[@dyerjw2010]

So beautiful

[@dyerjw2010]

Read his books, all of them. LEGEND

[@HouseGuide]

I ran with Bernd Heinrich when he was young and he was a tough son of a gun rarely running slower than 6 minutes per mile. He won races too. If he could have had some world class coaching, he probably could have been one of America's best runners. -- I saw him tonight on the PBS news hour. I can't believe that after two knee operations and at 81 years old he is still cranking out those runs. -- Most everyone I know who has had knee operations because of age related arthritis has never been able to get back into running. He is an iron man. I should call him to go for a run. I miss those times.

[@ianowens21]

What a fascinating human being! I hope this inspires more Bernds to come into the world.

[@user-xn2hf9re8r]

brilliant man

[@andyroubik5760]

I am currently reading one wild bird at a time. It is a very good read. I work as an arborist in Montana and always love getting to the top of a tree and getting it to sway as much as I can . it's good to see you enjoy doing that as well !

[@mboulin]

There are few people on this planet i would love to run with and have coffee with...Bernd Heidrich is one of them. Love his home and attitude of life.

[@Maexi89]

I love Bernd.

[@goodnewsrunning]

[@juderischpater471]

This video was very moving and inspiring to see what a simplistic and individualistic life could be possible in the modern era.

[@OnceUponaSaga]

[@MP-wb5yd]

What a beautiful movie, what a beautiful life

[@Highnoonshred]

Thinking back on the past 8 months this video sparked my trail running again! 20 years of running with cerebral palsy connects me to nature!

[@Agenamigo]

Dear Professor Heinrich, thank you for sharing your story. 😊

[@dijanavolkmer8002]

Great video. Thanks for sharing it with us

[@cristinavalenta1576]

Beautiful video, thank you

[@kasunchaga007]

Super! Awesome! Inspiring! 👍

[@JoachimJones]

Salomon has inspired me for many years, every video is a masterpiece and makes you want to go out and "play"! This video is amazing, it shows the simple lifestyle and the connection with nature, something we tend to lose once caught up in modern society. Thank you Salomon for making these videos and for making us go out and play!

[@SalomonTV]

That's what it's all about! We're thrilled to receive such positive feedback - it truly makes our efforts worthwhile. Thank you for being a part of our community.

[@JoachimJones]

it’s true, your brand has inspired me to start trail running during difficult times in my life, your videos are like meditation, they make us feel as if we are part of a community! No other brand has had this positive impact on me!

[@rvfmil]

Thoroughly facinating. Such a basic question we all ask. The answers are emotional and indeed inspire. I simply want to go out and run.

[@SalomonTV]

Stoked to hear you liked the video! 🙌

[@diarmuidsheehan5539]

excellent video. Really cheered me up.

[@simonkirby4056]

Beautiful. Thankyou.

[@SalomonTV]

🙏🏻

[@mmh53]

[@marshhen]

What a beautiful video. I am so inspired by this man and his running spirit. Incredible film making. This channel is incredible. Made me want to run, keeps me in love with the other fellow spirits who love to run.

[@SalomonTV]

Thank you for the support and kind words. Keep it up, continue running we will see you out on the trails! 🙌

[@stephenwalker9313]

[@martiarmengoumolins241]

Very good film btw

[@orangebanana7129]

This dude rules

[@hectorsotogarcia8364]

I know that the couple of my life is among the people who liked this video.

[@hectorsotogarcia8364]

has to be like that

[@marcogentini]

A mio avviso uno dei più belli mai trasmesso da Salomon running tv (così si chiamava il canale qualche anno fa) assieme a "on the road" con Rikey Gates. Lo spirito puro del running. Andatelo a cercare. Allora (season 03-04) trasmettevano veramente bei cortometraggi con cadenza mensile e si aspettava con ansia l'uscita in programma.

[@konakovo9245]

Спасибо

[@marlinweekley51]

Nice 😊👍🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

[@reesejones1302]

The last clip of Bernd swinging in a tree completes this video.

[@martiarmengoumolins241]

Does anyone know where to find En subs for this?

[@VanlifeDanslesyeuxdAbi]

Incredible !!! What is the music at 6.00 please ? 👍

[@mashabhucombe2162]

[@pitotito1]

Probablemente el mejor hasta ahora, q video y q tipo más cabron

[@fredhoy6697]

Subtitles are too small and run too fast. What's the race?

[@EnderAnimals4]

Hey- all the sports games are cancelled but I bet this guy is still out there running

[@xyzv8640]

10:58 - is there an official category for a 200km race?? 🤪😵

[@kenchung2675]

Why? Freedom!!!

[@SalomonTV]

🙏🏻

[@joaoa.7674]

Is this recent footage? The guy is 79 and still running around and climbing trees?

[@bourquejocelyn]

The original video was posted 6 years ago by Salomon.

[@royalhubbard4348]

Pe sent me here 💯😂

[@z0uLess]

In light of viewing the comments, I am interested in what part this man thinks critique plays in life.

[@hectorsotogarcia8364]
