Mushroom Mar 2021 8:10pm, 22 Mar 2021 1,547 posts	0 Mushroom I went looking for some outdoor films during lockdown - I needed to see some open spaces! Hiking / Outdoor films - ideas and links. I think many are free, but a few are only a few minutes long: greenbelly.co outdoorresearch.com Red Bull sponsor a lot of events, and they have a collection of films; from skiing and cycling to mountain climbing and high diving.. redbull.com (They also have an app so you can watch on smart TVs) I found the Lance Armstrong documentary really interesting and might be motivational (??) - still on iPlayer I think. Or if you want something more accessible and enjoy a nice countryside walk then I can recommend these: bbc.co.uk

Steve NordRunner Mar 2021 1:47pm, 23 Mar 2021 580 posts	0 Steve NordRunner The most awe-inspiring video linked to from here podiumrunner.com is Zach Miller's effort at the end of a 50 mile trail race. He seems to be running at 95%+ maxHR for the last several miles. His effprt and breathing are what I'd expect from a 5 km race. Truly amazing. I've watched it several times. Some of the filming was by Jamil Coury, one of this year's Barkley entrants.

LOL in lockdown 1 on my turbo (pre smart one!) I watched all the star wars films and marvel universe films!

It's a very special event, and a nice video. There are loads of great entrant videos too, if you are interested I can put some links in too! G
