Why Backpack Guy.......? In this video I tell the story of how a life changing diagnosis pushed me to change how I treat both myself and the people around me. Add to that a growing family and a new passion and you have all the ingredients for an exciting and inspiring Story.
Enjoy as I tell the story of how I became "Backpack Guy" and how this TH-cam channel was forged through the grit and determination of an everyday guy that wanted to create something extraordinary from the circumstances that life had thrown at me.
I hope you are entertained, inspired and uplifted through this tale of self-improvement and fun.

The Views Enjoy the amazing views at the inaugural Trail Running SA Mt Bold Trail Championships in 2023. As the final run of the TRSA 2023 calender, they definitely left the best till last. In my almost 10 years of trail running, this has to be one of the most beautiful events I have ever taken part in. Although it wasn’t without its problems (my fault), a group of us missed a turn off and ende...

    Thank you for sharing your story. It’s very inspiring. I’ve been finding it mentally difficult to get out and run lately with friends as I’m a lot slower than them. There is a lot going on in my life at the moment where I feel defeated, and I don’t want to feel defeated in yet another thing right now, so it’s put me off running. Hopefully I will start to enjoy it again soon.

      Thanks Lisa, we all go through those times. Just remember your journey is "your journey" and sometimes you need to reset and build your base, then you can add to that later. You just need to do what keeps you positive and adds to your life in small ways. Well done for keeping you mind focused, the wins will come.

    Which ultra are you doing this weekend? I enjoyed the vlog. Watched it yesterday. The only thing about posting videos from the past is it’s hard to know when it was and what you are up to now. So probably more recent videos 😁

      Yeah I have a backlog of a years worth of events that I'm just struggling to catch up on. About 6 ultras plus a bunch of smaller events. I will hopefully be able to catch up a bit over the next couple of months. This weekend is Yurrebilla 56km. We have Heysen 105 in about a month so the next video going up is Heysen last year and then I am going to try and smash out a few as quick as possible. 👌

      Hi Gabrielle, this course is pretty open, a couple of road crossings and a reasonable section along a dirt farm road, but good visibility. I run it every week or two for training. Interestingly, they are going to make it an official half marathon distance next year and have asked me to do training videos for the event 😁👌 Below is my Strava link for the run. strava.app.link/eJLMQr2gNMb

    • @BartCampbellBackpackGuy
      @BartCampbellBackpackGuy 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I will be doing some videos on the channel soon which we detail how I train. But I'm a big believer in consistency over quantity. I believe that you are better to do really regular small runs over less often big runs (obviously over time you can build the individual run distances based on your physical capabilities and life circumstances). Vary up the types of runs (hills, fast, trails, road etc), I try to do this regularly. And lots of recovery running (low heart rate). I have run every day for over 500days straight and a huge key is that a lot of my runs are actually recovery runs, so I am recovering quicker than if I just took a rest. Obviously there is a lot more detail to it it but I hope that gives you some insight. Check out my Strava to see some of what I am doing. (The last couple of weeks might look a bit odd as my household is a bit hectic so I'm just doing what I can) 🤜😁
