You deserve an extra coupla zeros on your sub count. Beautiful film Dan.
Mitch Lally oh hello 👋
Thanks bro
You’re an inspiration mate! Keep up the quality content, and know that you’re motivating others!
Thanks Sean will do mate
Agree with this 👍
The honesty, the style, the character. All captured and edited so beautifully. I want to see these videos on the big screen 🙏
Great video! As a fellow Crohnie, i can really relate to your story. I cried my eyes out with this video. I hope the infusions will work for you and bring you back in the running game. Never give up, stay strong, lots of love!
Let’s get more folks on the Patreon support too, we all absolutely love these videos, what Dan stands for, and we should be supporting him to keep doing what he’s clearly got a huge talent for. If we all chip in a tiny amount a month, it helps to keep this phenomenal and inspiring material to be made and helps support a great guy
Ioan Charnley-Parry well said 👍
Thanks for your support as always mate never goes unnoticed. Patreon is my only income at that moment so incredibly grateful for all the support.
+Dan Whitehead no worries mate, I'll be upping it in the new year. Much, much deserved. Quite the emotional video you put together there, and the Gemma piece was a great addition! Genuinely wishing you the very best in your recovery Dan, must be an incredible battle
agreed, done
Dan, thank you for so articulately sharing how Crohn's disease has effected you, both mentally and physically. My brother fought the disease for 18 years, beginning when he was 6 and has been in remission for 2 years now. Your videos are shedding light on so many individuals' experiences.
no problem and thats great to hear it can be a difficult illness to understand. Hope your brother stays well.
Your film making is beautiful. Glad you're on the mend.
Thank you 😊
So glad you are back. I found you last year, I was 290 pounds I found trail running. Now I’m down to 217, running with a crazy group of trail runners and training for races. Running has given me confidence to be a person again. I owe that to you. Keep up the amazing work.
Dan , you are easily the best "blogger" on you tube. A term I hate using, as your films/videos are artistic and deserve are the credit you can get. You are able to produce videos that stir a hole plethora of emotions from the battles we all face with training and life.
You are so inspiring, humble and "bloody legit"
Incredible work once again. I don’t think I’ve seen anyone on CZcams come close to this level of craft and storytelling.
Incredible cinematography dan that opening sequence in the sea was nuts. Glad things are looking up
You are a great inspiration Dan for all of us. It has been great to get this new video. I was so worried of you thinking what was happening. So my friend keep fighting and you will rise again. And running is more than Ultrarunning, so enjoy the short races and all the other things in life. And please keep filming. Your friend from Spain.
Thanks Pablo great to hear from you mate. thanks for thinking about me and yes that is very true. Hope you and your family are well
Stay strong Dan. Your films are uniquely beautiful and honest. Truly inspirational. Feel better soon!
Thanks Richard 👍
Thank fuck for that. Sound track that reflects the mood of each section and not constant dance thumping beat. The music to introduce the beautiful young lady was perfect. Great visuals, great sounds and great story telling. Top man. And go to see you are doing the odd 10km on Strava. All the best.
Thank you for posting this video! You aren’t alone the last couple months. I too have been experiencing anxiety. Over the summer, after finishing my 1st Ultramarathon, I had a blood test that confirmed that something was wrong with my liver. I had been experiencing fatigue and pain throughout my body for 2-3 years. I pushed thru this fatigue somehow over last winter into the spring training for then completing my first 50K. My diet changes helped but, it would come in waves. After the blood test, I started drinking straight celery juice on an empty stomach every morning before my retest 4 weeks later. Keeping my diet clean vegan based with honey sometimes lots of raw organic vegetables and fruit. Meanwhile, I felt better. For the 1st time in at least 2 years, my pain was gone. I felt good and my liver bilirubin levels returned to normal.
I am ever greatful for you sharing your story with all of us. Thank you for your rawness. You are an inspiration.
We are not alone.
Hey Lizzie sorry to hear about your troubles but thats awesome that you have been able to sort it. It's amazing what a difference diet can make
What a well made video. It's obvious you really put in a lot of work in these.
Thanks mate I do but it never feels like work
Your cinematography, music, editing and narrative is just fucking epic. I totally wish you the best with your health challenges. I am happy for your romantic life. But of all, I'm glad you have been able to reconnect with the trails. You have a ton of talent, period.
Scene floating in the sea is sublime
I, as many others that love what you share aren't here to just experience trail running. We are here because you share such peace, love and comfort. You are such a wonderful story teller Dan and a wonderful sharer of real life stories. Your videos are like reading a great book that you just can't put down, never wanting to end, reading over and over again. If I had a bookshelf for fav vlogs, yours would be on it! That's why we subscribe :-) Thank You for sharing. Good health, good food and good company to you for 2019.
Possibly the most real video on CZcams right now. You are amazing! Keep it going and stay strong!
Simply beautiful!!! To create something so amazing out of your problems is a credit to you. Showing us how to make lemonade when life provides you with lemons, inspirational
Stay Strong and Positive always Dan !!!! " Destroyed but not defeated " You will be back stronger ! #nevergiveup
Keep battling Dan. You’re right, the lows and challenges are things that build us up to reach new heights
I was in the middle of a big meeting when the notification came up that you posted - I wont lie I jumped a little and couldnt wait to see the update. Happy to see you doing better and back at it - love the destroyed but not defeated sentiment - got pretty destroyed by the weather last weekend in an attempted 50 miler - was unable to complete it (again) but watching folks like you and what you go through is a great inspiration to me - lets hope 2019 is a better year for both of us!
You are a weapon mate and your channel has been my favourite since day one. All the best.
Im glad i found your channel. CZcams is about sharing stories, and trying to tell them well. Your story is worth telling, I hope you keep posting
Thank you for posting such raw, authentic and beautiful content. Prayers for you brother.
Loving the Ernest Hemmingway quotes, mate. Sorry to hear you've been down Dan. It's completely understandable. But you're fighting and you will be back at 100% again. I get excited every time I see you've posted a video.
Love your videos Dan, I've been checking back daily for a new one! Hands down, you've been the reason I got back into running, even signed up to take on a (trail) marathon in a few months, which I never thought I would do. Thanks for being a huge inspiration to me and everyone else who watches your videos. Really hope you are back to full health very soon
I get stoked when you post because you continue so absolutely smash these videos 👊
Allways find myself relating to a lot your content. Help keep my engine running.
Stay strong
Seriously the most relatable piece I have either read or seen on fighting both physical and mental health battles. This really is a masterpiece Dan, wish I had seen it years ago
Thanks Kevin thats a very kind comment I am glad it resonated with you.
Hey, man it is humbling to hear your story, I am here with two broken ribs unable to run or let alone do anything feeling all deflated but it will pass, nothing compared to your worries. Keep on fighting, your videos are getting better and better, I tune in first for the running but it is second now I am here for your story telling and amazing images. Cheers. Get well soon.
Glad to have you back, Dan! Tough to see & hear the struggles but stay positive, fella! As always, the filmmaking is outstanding!
I so admire your honesty man, inspiring. Courage isn’t the absence of fear, it’s facing fear and carrying on regardless. You are truly courageous. Good to see you back on CZcams. You’ve been missed. Take it easy dude, stay strong 💪
Thanks Stewart appreciate it mate hope your well
Get better man it sucks being sick prayers sent your way brotha!
I'm half way through, and this is such a sick edit! Keep crushing life and stay the awesome person you are Dan.
thanks! and I will
I originally came for the runner now I stay for the man ✌🏼
Mate been watching your vids for a while now. But this one 🤯 so honest and accurate, it tugs hard at the heart strings. The visuals and audio and their interplay are on point.
Here’s to your full spectrum recovery.
maate missed this stuff, glad ya getting back into the swing of things, physically an mentally. As the old proverb says "Fall down seven times, stand up eight" ya only stronger for it
Glad to see you here, mate...we missed you!
This one pulled on the heart strings some. Get better man. Your videos are always insanely good and they always make my day better. Keep chugging along I know you will get back to where you want to be.
Glad to hear you're feeling better, man. I'm a runner and a dad of a 10-year-old daughter with ulcerative colitis. Since she was diagnosed four years ago it's pretty much been a roller coaster. It is amazing to me how strong and resilient folks with IBD are. I'm inspired by you all and it gives me strength to help my kid in her fight. Wishing you good health! Destroyed but not defeated...
Thanks Sean, really sorry to hear about your daughter I always think how hard it must be for kids at that age. I can imagine it has been quite a roller coaster. Wishing her the best really hope she can find and sustain good health!
You’re the best. I send you waves of good vibrations.
Dan, you're a great storyteller. Thank you for your videos. Thank you for opening up to us. I'm sorry for what you are going through but I'm very happy you're feeling better. Cheers.
I was so happy to see you had posted again. I missed your videos so much. Glad to hear you are feeling more positive. Keep posting!
Stoked to make you happy Karen thanks for watching
As always, truly inspiring Dan! Great to see you back!
The little clips with/of your gf(?) were so cute, made me smile the entire time. Goodluck getting back to running Dan! Beautiful video as always
Another amazing film. It's incredible how you can convey such emotional ups and downs in a mere 10 minutes. Best wishes moving forward, Dan!
So sorry how you felt Dan.
Glad that you are feeling so much better now.
One step at a time.
Never give up.
Hey Dan. So great to get an update and know that you are doing better, I've certainly missed your videos. Happy for you and your lady friend!
Cheers,
Tim
Amazing dude, love your content so much.

Thank you so much!
Dan, glad you’re in the mend and making videos again. Keep you head up, brother. Cheers!
Keep Smiling Dan! No matter how hard it gets remember to smile - you're nowhere near defeated because you are still aiming and moving forward! All the best and looking forward to more films from New Zealand! :)
Thanks dai ahh me too I can't wait to go back to nz
Dan, your videos are beautiful, amazing, and inspirational. Your openness and honesty about how you feel and what you are experiencing will resonate and help others who are going through difficulties. Thank you for sharing this. Stay positive. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Thanks mate
Oh man, the footage is getting better and better! You have to do a full movie or a documentary of ultra running!!!! I LOVE your channel, mate! Best vlogs on CZcams...period!
thanks so much. maybe one day!
I may have a bit of moisture in the corner of my eyes after watching this Dan. I so get it. I am so happy to hear you are turning the corner. Such good news. Keep pressing forward my friend. You are more than able. Hopefully our paths cross one of these days on a trail in AUS. I'll be moving to Sydney in Jan, with my corporate office in Melbourne. God Bless.
Well done..so proud of you Dan xx
Geez that was so raw Dan. Thank you for sharing and I’m glad things are looking up for you mate. I may not be active in my messages to you, but your are in my thoughts all the time. Whether it’s when I put on one of my numerous Ciele caps to head out for a run, think of trail running or upload to Strava.... you are in my thoughts and I send you positive vibes and wishes.
Moonlight is a top movie and I’ve seen it a few times. This vid should be called ‘Daylight’, because you are positive light to us all. Keep smiling
Thanks for thinking of me mate thats very kind of you and its appreciated. Comments like these have really helped!
Great video as always! Glad to see you posting again and thanks for sharing.
Not only are you one of my favorite runners, but you are one of my favorite artists. These videos are incredible and truly touch me and many others. Thank you and never stop.
Thanks Joey I wont stop mate
Hey Dan, again, thank you for this lovely film. Sometimes it takes longer to overcome, or sometimes we just keep on fighting. The struggle is real, exacting, and can be very exhausting. When one feels there's no more left to give, overcoming, sometimes becomes a pipe dream. I am speaking more for myself, seeing through the lens of your circumstance. But we keep on fighting and moving forward and we all root for each other. On a happier note, this is such a wonderful celebration of Gemma!. Im so happy for you!.
thank you and yes couldn't agree more it can be very exhausting at times. Keep fighting the good fight.
So pumped seeing your vid again - keep them coming, stay strong!!
so so so real, dan. facing adversity with your chin up. such a raw and beautifully made piece of time you've captured here, so many emotions shared with such grace. peace and respect brotha.
Thanks Brock appreciate it man thanks for watching
You have a gift. Thank you for sharing it.
We're right here with you, like always. Stay strong, Dan, things will only get better now!
Keep it up bro. You're a legend.
Simply no better vlog in the ultra community. Its Incredible. Dan, somehow you can win in your fight against crones and a production career. Best yet.
I am your age and although not as serious as Krohns disease, I am have recently started struggling with exercise induced asthma and I have a hard time getting it under control and managing to run normally. I am under so much stress lately, and I am struggling to cope with everything. I hope you will continue to make your videos, even if you don't run as much. I am sure most of your viewers would keep watching. Your life mirrors mine in a lot of ways. I also recently met someone. You are a big inspiration, and you released this video just when I needed it the most. I wish you a speedy recovery, and hopefully you get the disease under control in no time! Take care mate.
Glad this found you when you needed it mate and I will always keep making videos. I hope things improve for you quickly. Try your best to de stress. take your time and do your best to think positively ( its not always easy I know ). All the best.
Another excellent well told film! Glad you are feeling better! Happy Holiday's!
Pure art. Had so many different feelings watching this.
Thanks emil good to hear if it makes you feel something I guess I did something right thanks for watching
oh mate, what a beautiful edit! thank you for sharing :-*
Glad you're back! "Now is no time to think of what you do not have. Think of what you can do with what there is." Old Man and the Sea
I almost put that one at the end of the video! damn that book is awesome
Good luck on the recovery path mate. Still an inspiration to a lot of followers out there. Get well soon Dan
Inspiring. Thank you.
Another raw and beautiful film, Dan. Happy to see you're doing a lot better. Stay strong buddy!
Beautiful film man. Keep doing what you’re doing. Very inspirational. I watch tons and tons of videos on CZcams and this is the first one I’ve ever liked and commented on ✌️
Hey Dan I'm glad to see you're back and getting better. You'll come back even stronger than before, I'm confident in it. This was a really beautiful film, I love your story telling style. I'm always looking forward to more content, but no rush of course. Thanks for sharing this, Cheers!
Great video as usual. All the best in your struggle through. I wish you peace and strength.
This is why I love You Tube. Wonderful filming, great story by an independent creator. Get well soon so we can see some more epic running shots
All strength too you fella ✊
Discomfort is shit, but just as with crops, shit is good for growth. What you’ve said here chimes with what a certain Mr David Savage Goggins has been saying for a long time, couldn’t agree more Dan. Can’t begin to imagine the physical and mental battle you’ve been going through but your struggles and your reflection on them are inspiring people on a global scale. Ultra’s will still be there when you’re ready Dan, I hope you can get just get back to enjoying running at the 10-20km distances first. Obscenely good video, music choices, shots, mix of content, as per usual, every video you make is worth the wait. Really appreciate your honesty, it’ll help many, many people and hopefully it’s a good outlet for you too. Now, off to look up and watch Moonlight...
Praying for you my friend...much respect!
Good to see you back
Beautiful film Dan...be strong and thank you.
Such an amazing film! I missed your uploads! Hope you get better soon!
As usual an amazing video that hits my emotions. Glad you're feeling somewhat better. Hope the journey back up to full strength and energy is quick
Just look at it like this, you get to enjoy the process of improving at running all over again.
I have actually been thinking of it that way lately actually. It's kinda fun being back at the start

Beautiful, thoughtful, and inspiring.
So truthful and humble Dan. Thank you for sharing
Hang tough. Keep moving forward. Thanks for sharing.
Love you mate! Stay strong, all the best from the whole community of viewers!
You’re the man Dan! Good to see you back - sending positive vibes your way.
True inspiration. The mind will heal all.
Great film! I hope you'll have a good 2019!!
Stay strong brother you got this
Beautiful video. I'm new to running and also suffer from a inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis). I get an infusion of Vedolizumab (Entyvio) every 8 weeks, and it has helped me tremendously over the past two years, and I'm grateful to be able to be active again. I know the feeling of being brought down from your disease. It's cliche to say it, but things always do get better, even at the worst of times I try to keep that in mind. Keep your head up and keep fighting.
Wishing you all the best Dan. Keep on going 💪💪
Greetings from Greece. Welcome back Dan, I ve been waiting hearing good news on your health and I m very glad you overcome it, day by day. I don't usually write on media or iin public, but you made me wanna talk to you, like the last time I ve send you a message here. The irony is that I saw all of your videos two two months ago while I was sick and didn't know what was wrong with me. Then I saw your video on Chrons disease, and by that time I didn't know it. The irony is that after two more weeks of searching what's wrong with me I went to the hospital and stayed in for two weeks. Your videos inspired me and kept me company and there I found out(the irony) I have Ulcerative colitis.... Of course its not Chrones but close enough. It triggered two and half months ago and I still struggle. I lost 9 kilos and stopped, obviously, trail running. I don't know when I will manage to start running again but I wanted you to know that you inspire me to keep going. I don't know how to send you a personal message because I don't have twitter or Facebook, etc. So I m sorry if my message was too long and boring. I hope to see your next, inspirational video soon and maybe we could talk in person because I wanted to ask you about diet, exercise, plant based etc, if you can ofcousre, because I m Newby on our disease..... Thank you and I m sorry for the extended message
Wow I'm sorry to hear about the diagnosis that's tough. I'm really glad you have found my videos relatable and hopefully somewhat comforting during a tough time. I know I find comfort watching my favorite channels. Stay positive things will improve and I'm sure you will be able to get back to the trails sooner then you think!
Great to see you back on the mend pal. Found yourself a kiwi girl! I knew you were a clever dude ;) keep us updated on everything mate. CZcams isn’t the same without your videos
