Running Related Stuff To Get You Through The Corona Crisis

SuspectZero · 16-03-2020 11:42AM #1

This was posted in the other thread so thought it might be an idea to start a thread on some stuff that isn't so heavy and it might throw up a few interesting things if it takes off seeing as we all have more time on our hands these days.

If feeling down, don't cut off the world. Maybe create a thread of good vibes.
Don't want to see someone suffering, we should all help each other

I watched this Doc lately and thought it was really good. It's on David Rudishas and Edna Kiplagats journey to London 2012.

Here's a short doc on Craig Mottram

Anyone came across any other interesting stuff lately to hunker down with? Books, articles, docs or whatever

The gun to tape doc works on youtube, just seems to be blocked from boards

Good thread.

anyone got any good youtube workouts I could follow? What are some good at home workings I can do?

HelenAnne · 16-03-2020 01:45PM

Great idea for a thread!

I've watched a few of these Inov-8 docs on You Tube and really enjoyed them (for example, this Nicky Spinks one):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJAW8STfiko

and someone put up a thread on Twitter looking for sport-related shows on Netflix and got loads of recs:

And I know this is a shameless plug, but I do genuinely think it's great, my company is still selling The Dublin Marathon book. There's plenty of history and inspiring stories in it to read while you're social distancing

plus at the moment it's a real help to small Irish companies if people will buy their products online! A lot of bookshops are closed right now, but the publishers are happy to post books out.

Need some Amazon Prime and Netflix stuff that's long enough to do a decent duration run on the treadmill with.

Not running related but a great sports documentary and well worth a watch.

Edit: can’t find link to whole thing.

The Black Oil · 17-03-2020 09:51PM

I've only been watching running stuff the past year or two.

The Running Channel. UK stuff. I find it good as it feels like it's aimed at the Average Joe. Anna has nerves of steel.

The Run Experience - oh that California sunshine! A little more serious in tone the than their UK counterparts, but still very enjoyable, imo.

Sage Canaday...need I say any more?

Ben Parkes in the UK, 2:25 marathoner. Broke his ankle recently and was understandably emotional. Just another chatty bloke who seems to have his head screwed on right.

PaulieC · 17-03-2020 10:15PM

Killian Jornet's Summits of my Life is free to watch for a few days. He's a mad yoke.

Once Brothers is a fantastic documentary. I shed a few tears watching it. Would highly recommend the 30 for 30 docuseries.

Seth De Moor and Kofuzi also worth a watch on youtube.
I also like Lionel Sanders, he is a triathlete but has some great videos.
Also follow a guy called Nick Bare. He's a bodybuilder who is trying to run a sub 3hr Marathon. He also recently just completed an Iron man and documented the whole thing from the training to the race.
All on YouTube.

Zwift Run also free and will have organised races and running meet ups.

robinph · 18-03-2020 10:26AM

Wasn't Zwift free anyway for running?

Have just got a loan of a footpod for Zwift so not got round to trying it out properly yet.

Casey78 · 18-03-2020 11:02AM

Yes was always free. I use it all the time. Great way of passing time on a treadmill.
Download the Zwift Companion App for details of organised races and meet ups.
