Looking forward to seeing the newsletters mate! Now back to Ecuador 🇪🇨 😊
Thank you Jeff for sharing these amazing videos, I took a bad fall on my Sunday run and this video was a pleasant distraction after a day of bad news.
Nice video. I wish you could have included at the end a small report of the best gear to have before you go on a trip like this. For an example shoes, shirt, bug spray???
Jeff, another beautiful film - as always :) I'll keep repeating... since I can't travel or do these types of adventures, I'm super grateful to see the world and the hiking/running trails thru your awesome work. I have my moments when I get really sad and may tear up due to current circumstances, but those moments are well worth pushing through so that I can experience the trails and the beauty through well-done films. Thank you! 🙌👏
"Sometimes in trail running there's not much of either" Haha I'll have to remember that one. The landscape here feels incredibly special especially that description of the deeper greens and the lighter green vegetation due to the volcano's. I almost forget looking at these areas as well just how high the plateau they sit on actually is above sea level. Thank you for documenting so much footage and producing it for us as always.
I love that you film the dogs and other animals! So cute!
😂 i just had a little grin on my face from start to finish knowing i was watching it for the second time ,but honestly it was so worth it as i had missed some epic views , and jeff pelletier i quote " its so difficult to talk and walk " .. lol 😂 said the world famous ultra runner and videographer 😂😂😂 .. brilliant 😂
What an incredible trip! This seemed like the perfect mix of terrain and sights. Thanks for sharing!
Always a joy to watch Jeff's film, great narration, full of fun activities and upbeat vitality.
These documentaries are really a joy. Thanks for sharing.
This past winter (2023/2024) my wife and I spent 3 months in Ecuador, our third winter there. But this last time was my first foray into trail running and hiking (I'm a cyclist). We were in the Loja region near Malacatos for two months and I went running almost every morning, gaining so much endurance, losing weight. This awesome video brings back so many recent and good memories.
Man the world is beautiful and so much bigger than there are roads. Beautiful, brought a tear to my eye. I have to join one of these trips one day..
We ran some of those trails a few years back. Stayed at Black Sheep Inn, got a car to Quilotoa Lake and ran back (roughly a marathon if I remember correctly). Definitely recommend!
Love watching your videos and seeing the beautiful places you visit. Would love to see more merch options, but glad you offer merch now.
Thanks! Stay tuned, we’ll have plenty more options coming.
Nicely done. I'm a trail runner. I lived in Ecuador for 3 years and I've been back and forth every year or so over the last 20 to 25 years. You hit a lot of my favorite places. Very nice trip. Congratulations!
Jeff, your channel helped inspire me to take up running/trail-running a little over a year ago. Last week, I ran my first half-marathon trail race. Thank you, and congrats on 100k subs.
Congrats on the race! Enjoy the journey 💪
Amazing how much the conditions change on the mountain (from snow at the top to dry dirt at the bottom). Same thing happens here in Colorado, but still interesting to see. Awesome video and thank you for sharing it with us!
I've been to Ecuador last year and Quilotoa and Cotopaxi were just amazing, this video really takes me back. The views were absolutely stunning
Congratulations on 100k. Another amazing film. I would seriously go to Ecuador just to pat those dogs lol.
they were all so cute but unfortunately also covered with fleas :P
One more excellent experience . Very nice video as usual . Thanks for sharing :)😀
Just found your channel love the positivey a couple of weeks ago i was air lifted to the hospital before that i was training for my full in duluth i was put in a medial coma for about 4 days they said i was at least suppose to be there for two weeks i started getting back to myself and walking now im running again and still planning on racing in june :) showing people that no matter what set backs you have keep getting up and fighting :)
The neck of the moon.. 🌚 This is so cool.
Fabulous watch as always. The website design is very sleek too! Pleasant experiences all round, cheers :)
Well that looked like the most fun week ever
i am enjoying every second of your video, another great piece of work, jeff 👍
Congrats on a 100k sub🎉 wishing to join your trip someday👍
A great watch cheers Jeff really enjoyed that.👊⛰️
Lovely video of Ecuador and the beautiful adventures it has to offer. Thank you!
Visited Ecuador 24 years ago, so diversed and beautiful! Great video!
I hope you're doing well! I wanted to suggest trying trail running in Mount Bromo, East Java, Indonesia. The landscapes are stunning, with volcanic sands, green hills, and majestic mountains. The sunrise view from the top is spectacular and worth the early effort.
Bromo offers trails for all levels, from short scenic runs to challenging longer routes. It’s a great way to experience Indonesia’s natural beauty and push your limits.
Give it a try - I think you'll love it!
thanks for the suggestion - will add Bromo to the (infinite) wishlist ;)
Fantastic as always Jeff! Thanks for creating this new series
Another magical adventure. Appreciate your sharing
Love this!!! Trail running is like life, each person creates their own path ♥
I have seen this film 4 times and counting... 😆 love your spanish Jeff 👌
“Since the volcanic activity has increased, it’s now open to climb and have fun.” 🤣
*decreased :P
It's always a treat to see a new upload on this channel.
Love it, that's exactly what the ecuadorian Andes are
Such an epic trip and video!
beautiful adventure. Your videos remind trail runners that its about adventure as well. I think every trail runner should devote one week per month of running to new trails one has never been on, as well as the occasional trek to some place far away. Keep up the inspiring work.
Congrats on the subscribers part. Super video n the background music was awesome👍🙏🙏🙏
"it's hard to talk while walking" - jeff pelletier, a very very experienced ultra trail runner 😁 you may have just outdone yourself with this video (and with this experience, i imagine), unbelievable scenery, outstanding views! thanks for putting this one together, thoroughly enjoyed it!
congrats on the 100k subscribers - your channel keeps me motivated as I increase the mileage as a beginner runner 💪🏻
Great video, as always! Thanks for sharing! We need more content from you and Audree ;). btw congrats on 100k subs!
멋진풍경을 맘껏 볼수있다니 너무 감사해요!!!^^
Thank you very much
aaahhh wauw comes in handy im doing the utmb this august thanks for filming (L)
Loved it! Congrats on the 100,000 plus! Hope we can make one of your trips one day soon!
Sat down to dinner and did my usual ,quick flick onto youtube to find something to watch while enjoying my culinary delights , darn lucky i got finding this from jeff pelletier 😂 .. though i did miss some bits washing up and doing after work chires before the next day , so .. guess i just have to watch it again now ive sat my ass down properly . Lol win win 😂 ❤
The visuals are so good, thanks to the camera you are using, it captures everything so beautifully and crisp.
Great video Jeff !! Congrats on 100k !! 🥳
Nice Video, I've been in Quito, they served Me a Delicious Food, I did Enjoy it the shrimp Ceviche ❤👌🇪🇨🙏😁
The shrimp ceviche was delicious!
Looks incredible, man!
congrats on 100K!
But never forget, if you wanna run just open your frontdoor and go.
11:50 been there one month before you and literally passed this old bloke at the same spot😂
Hah, too funny!
You pointed out “The Coloradians”. I feel like she has a TH-cam Channel called Mountain High Life?
Great videos love what you’re putting out ❤
That’s right!
Hello Jeff! What an amazing trip! Very nice documented. I wonder how we can get more info about those trips in the future. Thank you and keep rockin!
Stay tuned! We’ll be announcing new trips for 2025 over the coming months.
Looks like an interesting place to run. Maybe I missed it, but how many miles did you do in total?
we did about 65km, with a lot of climbing.
congrats on 100K
Your videos are amazing!!
how can we join to such retreat?
Stay tuned to the newsletter - for each trip, we launch a landing page with all the details.
Jeff, what brand is your white bucket hat? I've been looking for one like it
It’s the Ciele BKThat
Is running/hiking with poles just for balance? Or does it help with other things aswell?
It lowers the effort required and strain on your leg muscles, even more important I find when hiking at altitude.
@@JeffPelletier ohh, thanks. Then i might try it some day, and se if it makes a differens. I bet it will help when wearing a heavy backpack too.
I broke my ankle once , few years ago ( just put my foot into a Rut on the path and toppled sideways ) on a scottish Highlands Run.. miles away from The road or Help , it would have been an EMERGENCY HELICOPTER RESCUE off the Trail and to Hospital if i didnt have my poles on my backpack , i managed to use them as crutches and got myself out of trouble and back to the city , not what they were designed for but a great thing to have just in case , one of those other uses they might be used for 👍
what kind of pace do these runs usually maintain?
This one was a little slower than most given the altitude, but we always take lots of breaks to regroup and for photos. Our goal is for it to feel more like a ‘running vacation’ rather than a training camp.
Did the guide say Cotopaxi can be summited again?
That’s my understanding, yes.
Hey Jeff! Can you tell us what size shirt you’re wearing just as a reference point? I think I’m about your height but a little thicker through the middle and bottom so probably size up from there lol
Actually after reviewing the sizing guide on your website my wife has asked for a better sizing guide completely lol - just some consumer feedback - really want a shirt but don’t want to mess up the sizing.
Hey Dane, I’m wearing a medium which fits quite long on me at 6’ (the way I like it), but it is a fairly slim fit.
@@danegreenwell2589 thanks for the feedback. We'll try to add some sort of sizing guide shortly (especially when/if we add women's apparel) ;)
@@audreelafreniere2258 My wife and I could have MATCHING JP Shirts!!! As always we the viewers appreciate the response to comments - you two rock!
I have to say.... the FOMO is itensifying everytime you post another one of your vagabond trails trip/adventure!
It must be a tricky moral quandary to be concerned about the glacier melting while also flying from around the world to see it.
