UNBREAKABLE: The Western States 100 - Feature Film

If you happen to love ultra trail running then you may already be aware of this but this amazing film was made free not too long ago and is available in it's entirety on YouTube.

It follows the four lead men on this amazing journey. Hal Koerner, two time defending Western States champion from Ashland, Oregon. Geoff Roes, undefeated at the 100-mile distance, an organic chef from Juneau, Alaska. Anton Krupicka, undefeated in every ultramarathon he has ever started, a graduate student living in Boulder, Colorado. Kilian Jornet, the young mountain runner and two time Ultra-trail du Mont-Blanc champion, from Spain. What made this film really interesting for me was that it went into the lives of each of the runners, showing their human side and the people that care about them. If you have a couple of hours to kill, it is a great watch.

Decker, thanks for the heads up, I shall watch and doubtless be inspired recently watched the freeclimber Alex Honnold on El Capitan in Free Solo, sat there with sweaty palms just watching. Incredible what folk get up to.

Free Solo is not for the faint hearted. Made my fingers fizz.

Free solo was incredible. Dawn Wall is another great climbing film. I think it may be on Netflix still? youtu.be/edfw9ip9sCQ

Looks as though it's my browser, I just tried it in a different one and it was fine! xxx

I watched it a couple of weeks ago, and really enjoyed it. There's nothing like a good running movie right now to lift your spirits!
