  • Trail running allows its participant to form a unique connection with nature. A select group of individuals express how trail running enables them to "decompress from the day," and how the activity acts as "mental therapy."

    Trail running is my escape from reality. It's my meditation

    TLDR: A group of people get out of the city for the first time, we watch their reaction.

      That sums it up. I wonder why this video exists, as though running in the countryside is something new and not something that possibly millions do worldwide already.

    • @LuiKang043
      @LuiKang043 Před 9 lety +6

      Yousha Ahmad I'm very happy to see that you have that access to nature like so (as it is implied). But for those of us who barely have any access to nature need a reminder once in a while. And videos such as this serves as such a reminder.

      BlueBetaPro It's like the rebranding of 'outdoor swimming' as 'wild swimming'.
      I love going out to lakes and rivers for a swim, but if that doesn't appeal to you in itself, a new name is unlikely to cause you to develop a lasting passion for it.

    • @LuiKang043
      @LuiKang043 Před 9 lety +1

      Rebranding isn't usually intended with developing lasting passion. Rebranding is meant to increase that initial attraction to the product on sale.

    • @StephanieL180
      @StephanieL180 Před 9 lety +1

      LuiKang043 Rebranding can be done for either reason. The point is that the activity itself hasn't changed - it's just a trendy new name hipsters are using for something that has been done for ages.

    I recently discovered trail running for myself and absolutely fell in love with it.
    I ran in different landscapes, starting at lush pastures, to forests, to deserts and dry ridges. Did both morning and night runs. Every run is unique. Every run is perfect.
    To really enjoy running, one should understand what he or she is running for. Those who do it, just for the sake of it, will never understand what trail running is really about. You do connect with the earth under the soles of your shoes. This is where we belong.
    On a side note, pouring any amounts of alcohol into your body, after an exercise is a bad habit. Same goes for smoking. Wait At least an hour or two before poisoning yourself. Cheers.

    The best way to clear my mind , so much clarity after a long run in nature. Connecting with the terrain with full presence. Getting back to the Raw quality of life, back to our deepest layers. Trail running have a lot of potential for transformation .. :)
    happy running to all

      Trains can take you to great spots near NYC. Trails around Bear Mtn, Harriman Park and Hudson Highlands are quite beautiful. However, with the roots, rocks an uneven trails, they are quite a bit harder than west coast trails.

    As a Christian, I enjoy trail running because I 'see' God when I run through the trails. As a creature, it is amazing to run through God's creation, and it helps me fixate my heart and mind on God when I run, I love it!

  • @EricRosete
    @EricRosete Před 8 lety

    I've hiked these same trails and have seen people trail running in increased numbers. Seems like it would be really fun but also perhaps dangerous, especially if you catch a protruding root or lose your footing and end up tumbling down a ravine at running speed.

      BallawdeQuincewold Give it a try before you diss it. I'm a former collegiate track athlete so I've had a lot of great experiences running. However I can honestly say trail running with a group of friends was the most enjoyment I got out of running and I will continue it now that I am fresh out of college.

    Lol. I prefer running on trails more than the streets. However, this whole thing about how you "become one with nature" is completely overblown and kind of stupid. If you want to be one with nature, go off trail and camp out in the woods. Go kill some small game and roast it over an open fire.
