- A long time coming. This video was easy to start and really difficult to finish but I hope it explains where I am at with running these days. Hope your all doing well and as always thanks for the support.
I keep my videos add free if you enjoy them and get some value out of them consider supporting me via patreon.

I use www.artlis.io and www.musicbed.com for the music in my videos.
I just dragged myself out today and just finished my first run in a long time.
Nice work mate
Happy to hear this update. That’s the weird thing about running, rarely are people happy with a few runs a week and just doing it for fun, there’s almost always a weird sense or need for more and more and more to feel satisfied…. more speed, more kms, higher goals, push push push until we break haha. // LOVE your videos, tbh your channel is more lifestyle to me than running … you are the interest of this channel, not just your running.
I'm never not moved by your honest vulnerability, Dan. Thank you for sharing this part of your life with us
This channel got me through some tough times a few years ago. Still love coming back and watching these videos. Hope you are well, Dan!
Dan you need to keep making vids just like this. I skipped running last week and you just got me fired up again. Thank you.
Good to hear man get after it. cheers
Dan only just found your channel just caught a glimpse of that down hill glade and you saying maybe it’s the chilling after a trail run so had to subscribe! Wish you well in continued recovery. I have had similar challenges over the last 15 years of running, and suffer from Ulcerative Colitis. I missed almost two and a half years amongst those years due to flare ups but it kind of makes the great days even better. Am with you when you’re ready for the next ☝️ 🏃🏻♂️
Thank you for this and all your vids... not gonna lie, didn’t care a ton for the running portion, loved the coffee, food, and gear gear vids the most. You don’t owe us shit, God bless, thank you.
Gee whiz. I thought I'd watched everything ultra on yt. Algorithm must be broken because only now have I found yr videos Mr W. Verrrrry impressive content. Hope u can string together enough time and health to craft another gem in due course. Yr work is magnificent. 👍
I miss your videos. So happy to see you enjoy running still. Peace!✌️
good to see you on the TH-cams again, there is an expression here in Spain " poco a poco" little my little no rush mate enjoy what you can do, we are still privileged to be able to run.
Still get excited when a notification comes through saying Dan's uploaded a video. I think you should go over to Chamonix next year a be Scotty's chief crew. Loved your adventures with Scotty. Your face was aglow with happiness. Be patient with your running, little steps go along way. Hope to see you in Moody's for a nice long black. Did you know coffee in Moody was free last year as adidas paid the bill.
A truly beautiful video as usual🙌🏼
Great to see this man!!!
Keep on keeping on man love the vids!
This honesty is so helpful to hear
The last year I've gone from running marathons to struggling to hit an easy 5k, it's really hard when your health prevents you from doing things. I just got diagnosed with anaemia + celiacs so hopefully kicking my beloved gluten and getting on supplements will fix everything but I have so much respect for you keeping up the habit and doing the best you can with Crohn's.
You said it- as long as you run, you’re a runner. Only the 1% of runners do ultra running- and you have done it. Be kind to yourself Dan. You are more than a runner.
Dan! Thank you for this beautiful piece
Beautiful video Dan, thanks for sharing
Love your work Dan! Always so happy to see a new video in my feed. So inspiring
Great to hear you are still getting after it. Good on you, mate. Thanks for posting this!
I thought of you this week and wondered how you were coming along. I was happy to see your video pop up. I simply wanted to say we are imperfect beings trying to find our way in the world experiencing both troubles and joys. Thank you for sharing yours. You do it beautifully and eloquently. Cheers from Norway.
So good to see you again
Good video. Well done
Congrats on the little one :)
Brilliant and honest as always. Take your tine and enjoy the process
Seeing new content appear from you is life-giving my friend! What a gift you have!
Thanks for the update. It's great to see you running and making videos. Wishing you well from Ireland 🇮🇪
Such beautiful shots and thoughts! I love hearing your story. The scene at 1:43 is stunning and several of the running scenes are reminding me of home trails in Portland, OR!
don't stop dan your content is great!
So good to see Dan, your videos inspired me so much and were a big part of what pushed me onto the trails and running ultras. Glad to see you doing well. ✌
Good to see you Dan and good to see you running. I’m sure you’ll get there again and at least you can run a little for now. You always inspire me and your videography is amazing. You’re one talented guy. Stay well, get better and I look forward to seeing you more online.
Your videos are amazing, and I have deep appreciation for your vulnerability in this particular video.
Strange, this video makes me happy and sad at the same time. I see your passion and love in running, and the desire and dedication to get back. But also see the hardships of the journey and challenges that you face. Great thing is that you clearly have the dedication and desire, and even if the slow progress is forced, progress is progress no matter how small it is. I'm happy that you can still get flavours of it from time to time. Keep on being a champion Dan
Sending support from the UK Dan. Much respect for being open with all of us. The video quality is as ever totally inspiring and on point given your challenges. It just makes me want to hit the trails!. Stay strong and above all stay happy.
So happy to see another vid and to see you’re still running!! Seriously you’re creative abilities are such a joy to watch and have really been missing them! Keen to see anything from you Dan whether it’s running or day in the life vids - it’s never about what you film about but the way you capture and tell it. every time a new one comes up it gives such beautiful perspective on the simplicity’s of life and there’s nothing that peeps wouldn’t be interested to watch you blog about. Please please please keep ‘em coming!! All the best!
Very cute…the part with the cat and the birds tweeting in the background. Thanks for sharing Dan.
Glad to see new videos from you whenever they pop up, I can really relate to the things you said about why you love running. When someone asks why I run (so much), it's hard to pinpoint what it actually is that makes me love it, it's just something about it that I can't really explain. Happy to hear that you are back running and hope you get what you want out of running and the rest of life :) As always your videos are enjoyable whether it's about running or something else.
I love your videos. You do such great work.
So very sorry you are still dealing with health concerns.
I hope you can find that middle ground that keeps you healthy and happy.
Glad you still have it and taking it slowly. You'll progress and get better in time. Loved the forest scenes, such a beautiful place
honesty comes when your vision is quiet - loved the video man
So glad you’re still running Dan. Good to see you back on TH-cam.
Great video as always. Going through similar struggles since an injury beginning of this year. I have taken up mountain biking to keep me on the trails (and to keep my sanity). This video really spoke to me, I thank you for that.
patience, persistance and adaptability, you got this. Thanks for sharing.
Glad to see another video, Dan. For me it is a mix of getting to breath in crisp outdoor air, and the satisfaction I get when I sit down to breakfast after a run.
So great to see you out there and still running. I’m also going from a lot of mileage down to maybe 25%… knee injury a year and a half ago has completely sideline me. But like you any miles I put in I enjoy. Just gotta keep on keeping on.
Excellent video as ever. Always thoughtful and interesting. It's just great to have some more of your amazing content Dan. I'm nearly 60 and running is a huge part of my life. I always get something new from your films. Thank you very much.
We love you Dan! Thanks for the update and honesty. I feel you on the ending commentary. It’s something we love but not being able to reach what we want to be our potential can be heartbreaking. Keep with it man, all support here!
Thank you for your openness and that you let us be part of your journey. I can only image the struggle of wanting to run but that you have to keep calm and resist the temptation of "just a couple of miles/km of running for fun". Please find the time to wind down and let your body rest and start back slowly. I am looking forward to the next video!
Great to have you back Dan. Sorry to hear the running isn't going to plan. Would love to see more content, even if it's not always running related. Gave me a massive boost seeing you posted today. The vibe and style of your films is first class.
Some bleddy boy. You go steady and know that we've all got your back and willing you on in whatever you do. Big love 👊
haven't clicked on a video as quick as this one. :) love it
Thank you so much for the update, Dan! Your videos have been a big part of why I got into trail running a few years ago after seven years of having lost my love for sports and probably having lost myself. You being open with your struggles is something that is not only much needed in sports but in life generally and I would like to thank you for it and inspiring me and so many others while doing it. Cheers from Switzerland.
Love getting a notification that Dan has a video up !!!! Keep enjoying the running as you do dude … hopefully things in your body start clicking soon …. Peace ✌️
so great to get an update and I’m super glad you’re still able to get out and get those good feelings.
I only first discovered your channel earlier this year while I was wiped out recovering from a serious concussion. Those 2-3 months where I was stuck
on the couch every day were hell, but watching your videos and following through those years of your journey really kept me sane. It gave me the motivation I needed to get my shoes back on and gradually build back up from 300m walks that were agony, to regular 10-15km runs now 9 months later. Hoping to run my first half marathon this summer!
Take it easy mate and thanks for all the incredible videos. Keep ‘em coming!
Thanks for the update bud. Don't rush it, take your time, you and your body will find your way back. We'll be here waiting.
Cheers for the update Dan! Will be here as an eager audience whether it's 20hrs, 4hrs or 0hrs on your feet each week.
Great to see you back Dan! Absolutely loved this. I’ve found over the years of running (and I’m sure you’ve had this as well), that though the feeling never changes, my relationship to running has. Whether it be kids, life scenarios, or any number of changes, rarely am I running what I feel like “I should”. But it’s when I give up this idea of “should” and focus on what I can, in that season, is when I really start enjoying it again. Keep it up man!
Thanks for the update. Was recently sick myself and lacked the energy and top gear for running, so I can totally relate. Had to be patient and keep testing it until the feeling improved a month later.
Dan, stoked to see you back again! Sorry the running has turned out as it has currently. I am sure you will get back again. Even with less intensity you looked to have a good pace and flowing. You've still got it in you. I have been watching your back catalogue of Chamonix etc and they always motivate me. Looking forward to hearing what you have been getting into. Cycling? Glad someone asked about Sarge, I miss the old boy too. Hope all your family are ok. Does your mum still run? Just gotta mention your lawn! Textbook. Perhaps it's gardening giving you the buzz!! All the best mate, keep at it. Just know we will see you doing more miles. Looking forward to the next one. Gonna go run a mile or two now on the fells. You and Gemma take care. All the best from UK.
Bro, managing crohns and trying to get where you want to be is the biggest battle. Hope you find something that keeps it at bay so you can get back to running and enjoying life.
Thanks for the update Dan. We really appreciate it. Glad you are still running. As you say its patience and its great you still have your goals. Look forward to seeing your vlogs and you racing again. But the main this is your fit and health and I think we all understand that. Look after yourself.
Glad to watch your videos again and hope your running gets better soon.
I kind of feel the same way for the last +2 years,went from running ultras,averaging 10h a week of running to very little running the last 2 years due to becoming a dad,some anxiety issues,etc I really want to get back to what I was and I’m sure I will..it’s just taking too long so we have to be pacient,all the best 🙌🏽
Great to see you back out running. The best part about running is that it doesn't matter if its one mile or five miles, you just get out there and enjoy it. Keep moving forward and it will all come together for you.
Thanks for checking in mate. Always good to hear from you, running specific or not. Keep moving.
PeaCe.
Your videos mean the world to me! thanks so much for all of them
no worries mate thanks for watching them
Thanks, Dan. Really appreciate your videos. My own running journey is now nearly 17 years and being able to look back over that long time I see such similarities to the passage of life: the ups, the downs, good months, bad months, bad runs, soul enriching runs, falls, scrapes and all the rest. I have no more wisdom than you don’t already know. Keep looping your trainers.
needed this. ran a terrible race today, thanks for reminding me why i love this sport.
It takes courage for an athlete to do the right thing and listen to their body. Most just want to keep pushing. Great job and glad you can understand and articulate what aspects are most important to you.
Hey Dan, it’s nice to see you brother. Always enjoy your uploads. You’ve got a very unique style, and you’re the realest. I’ve been dealing with torn meniscus in my one knee that’s been keeping me on the bench too. It’s been close to 2 years now since I’ve run much distance. I decided to quit it altogether while doing some prp injections.. Giving this a chance to work. Best of luck getting back to what you love, I know first hand how hard it is to sit out. Sometimes it seems like running is the only thing that holds me together, without it I’m lost
Feel for you, Dan. I'm sorry that it's been such an up and down challenge. Like so many comments, we so value your channel because of you. Praying for you and hope that even though it's a disappointment in terms of what you were hoping you could get back to, that even the small runs can bring that sense of joy. Thanks for making this video. I look forward to watching whenever you post.
In peak marathon training right now and often forget to appreciate the fact that my body is able to handle all the stress i put it under. Thanks for the reminder Dan.
One of the best runs I had were during bad weather. I think it gives me that sense of accomplishment despite conditions. Plus - regardless of weather it clears my head, detaches me from work and life struggles. And after run I'm relaxed, sometimes exhausted, other times almost dead but always happy.
thanks for the vid and update mate :)
Cheers dude, really enjoyed this as I do all your videos. Even though you seem relatively content with your running, it's frustrating when your body won't do what you want it to. Your videos are always very relaxing to watch and I find myself pausing to see what the books are that you're reading or admiring the beautiful furniture/garden in your home so even if you're not feeling like you can do any running videos at the moment it might be cool to do another "stuff you're currently into" video like the one you did on Jutta Hipp and Neil Young recently or even a tour of your new home if it was something you were comfortable with.
Good hearing from you, Dan. I hope you’re still doing photography. I recently picked up a disposable film camera. Your videos have really helped me appreciate photography as a craft, so I’ve finally decided to try it. ✌️
Always enjoy your videos and photos. Hang in there! You really inspired me to run a couple of ultras in the last few years. Thanks for that and I’m glad you’re still enjoying the runs even if the mileage is reduced.
Thanks Phillip glad to hear that mate
With all the covid, restictions, lockdowns and quaranteens around the only way to keep a somewhat positive mindset for many has been learning to find a true joy in the simple things of life. The last year I've run more then any year of my life, in big part due to coming across you channel about a year ago. You and your videos really are the best at showing and inspiring people that finding joy in these everyday simple things like running, music, photography is just so worth it and awesome.
Keep making them, they are making a true difference. Thanks
Good to hear from ya. The body needs what the body needs. And if that's rest and chilling out, you gotta listen to it. Keep safe brother and love your videos 👌🏻 ✌🏻
So gals to hear from you buddy. Praying for too too feel better day by day and that you are able to achieve all that you set out to do.
thanks david
youre still the only person i have notifications on for
Dan, you came through it all, you will do it again. 💪 You have time, youth and all else. Just take it easy and build yourself back up. You can do it. 🤜🤛
It's hard to hear about your continued setbacks with the running, but thank you for sharing. At 69 and having been running most of my life, and having had a fair amount of success racing, there are still places I want to go with it, but as my body slows down that might not be possible. I can only imagine at your young age how hard that must be but I admire your courage and honesty in facing all the challenges you have had the past several years. It makes me think of a quote from the photographer Edward Weston (most your age will not know who he is but I think as a photographer yourself you might) that goes: We are safe to finish what we have to finish. The best may be yet to come for you Dan, but it might be much different than you now imagine or even want.
Thanks for sharing Dan. Your running shots look beautiful as always. Hang in there, you'll get it back with time. Been injured for 12 months, really limiting my running. But the body has slowly healed, and just today I was feeling that spring in my step on the trails.
Thanks mate. That’s great to hear that’s a special feeling stoked for ya.
Glad to see another video
Keep it up Dan ! :)
Albert! I'm in a similar boat Dan, I ran my first ultra in 2018... I actually ran my first 4 ultras and 40 miles on my 40th birthday, and I've felt broken and flat since. I make a little progress here and there, but if I try to push it and make bigger gains I actually slide back. For me it's all worth the very occasional good day. Keep at it!
Good to hear from you Dan. Take care bro ✊🏻
Let’s go!!! Excited to see your content again
Thanks Sean
That Art Pepper book is a trip. Props on having patience and not pushing the running too hard. Looking forward to more vids!
haha its pretty wild huh. Hard to imagine how crazy his life was when I listen to his music. Thanks man
incredible!
What a gift after closing the store tonight. Love to see a new video and that beginning segment of you running down the single track hill. Fun stuff a run can bring!!!
Ahh and I love the slides with the socks. Most comfortable thing to wear around ANYWHERE.
Hope you liked it mate. Cheers
Yo Dan...great to see you (and Albert).....I'm 57 yrs old now and ache to run and ache when I run! It's a blast with my dogs and getting the endorphins sorting out my mental health. I did a 40km trail race in October and blew up around 38km.....all my fault but was another great learning experience. Keep on your path Dan....running and videos! You exude a pure kindness and you're a good soul. Peace.
Thanks mate and that’s awesome to hear. Keep on keepin on and thanks for your support over the years.
Such a sincere, beautiful and honest video, thanks for sharing and I wish you the best of luck in your journey!
thanks mate cheers for checking it out
Running is not about how far you go. It is simply about moving forward. This video is about moving forward, so keep going. Inspirational stuff as always.
Just seen you on trail run mag 😃 good job 👍
Thank you Dan for the open and honest video! I too am trying to navigate running and Crohn's disease. It is a hard journey. Your perspective has helped me through the struggle, I super appreciate you putting this out there.
Struggling with Chron's and figuring out how not to push it to far is not easy. I feel your struggle, I'm 6 months out from an incisional hernia repair from Chron's surgery 10 years ago.
I wonder if pushing your immune system running ultras can have triggered it?
Yessssssssssss. Haven’t even watched it yet and I’m exited.
Cheers mate
Glad to hear you experienced some progress mate even if slow.
Eh up Dan.Hope all is well ,Thanks for the video on the update . Time mate Time that’s all we have and and little bit of hope ,it will come back mate 😬
Thanks mate I hope so!
Miss your videos something bad! Out from running since March with Achilles tendinitis. Not being able to run when running is your identity is a tough spot. We will get through it!
dang that sucks! I feel ya I hope your back out there healthy soon man
