What Ultra Running Means To Us | adidas TERREX

Pro athletes Sabrina Stanley, Stephen Kersh, Ruth Croft and Pablo Villa talk to us about the highs and lows of ultra running. Follow each of these incredible runners as they discuss overcoming hardship, finding purpose in trail running and the difference a good team can make. ​
​
Running the likes of the Western States 100 involves intense physical training as well as mental training. When your mind and body are in sync, you feel like you can fly. Ultra running is just as much about your mental capacity to fight through the lows and trust in your body as it is about the physical. It’s an emotional journey and a real test of the mind. ​
​
‘You’re the captain of your own ship, it’s up to you to find what brings you happiness and joy in life’ - Ruth Croft.​
​
Being present in the moment, finding your purpose, and pushing through the pain is essential when you’re tackling such mighty distances. Whilst Sabrina, Stephen, Ruth and Pablo discuss their own individual struggles with the sport, they are united by their strong ambition, drive and desire to push themselves to new heights.​

I’m deeply grateful for the inspiration I’ve found in these incredible runners. Their passion has ignited something within me, pushing me to take on a challenge I’ve never attempted before. I’m about to embark on my first-ever 126-mile run from Montauk Lighthouse to Brooklyn’s Asser Levy Park. This isn’t just about the run—it’s about waking up everyone I meet and reminding them that the war in Ukraine is still on. I would love for you to be part of this journey with me!

One of the realest and best running documentaries that I've watched. The runners showed real emotions.

Don’t worry Steven, I was diagnosed with Ankylosing 4 years back, now m trail runners, completed Malnad ultra 33 kms, kodagu ultra 25 kms, now preparing for vagamon ultra, all is well, I cried 3 months, now bouncing back buddy with love from India ❤

Do what you love to do, you never know when or how it could be taken from you, don’t take for granted life’s simple pleasures. Running is life. ❤️

Really enjoy these longer format docu-style videos, keep them coming!! This was really well done! Awesome insight into the athletes!

I have been running for 7 years now. Always ran with Adidas shoes, and any gear the brand can provide. As I grew, so did my distances. Now I do Ultra distances, and nothing pleases me more than to see my brand embrace this sport. If they ever sponsor middle aged guys, or be a brand ambassador, look me up 🙂! Either way, I will always run in Adidas on the road/track/trail and always in my daily lifestyle. Very inspiring video nonetheless.

Pablo Villa's 10 year plan coming to fruition with his coach is one of the most heartwarming stories i have heard about in running, now that is a film I would love to see!

"But can you walk it out for 20" (miles). Truer words.

Adidas athletes really shined in this year’s UTMB! Bravo!

[RunwithSung]

[priteshjethwa]

I love all your ultra running docs. Thank you 😊

[Marylouise_]

I love hearing the stories and the motivation behind the reasons to commit to such a difficult sport. It’s truly inspirational!

[michellekim]

this was great! would love to see more in depth videos for each of the runners :)

Thank you to everyone who participated in this humbling process, bravo to you all. I’m 65 and ❤️ trail running. If I don’t run even just 5k I’m bereft, not in the sense of the activity is a drug, but that I live to run, it gives me purpose and an ability to commune with the outdoors ( ps, I also run to eat cake and drink coffee) I got up early today to run a hill(430m) I’ve not run since before COVID started. It was brutal on my quads descending, but I love it. Hopefully you’re all well and running strong, stay safe, stay happy and keep running 🙏

[StreamCrossingRunner]

Impressively told and kudos for sharing these stories and humanizing your team - keep it up

[ryandoucette]

[tonylochner]

[Runnerrwe]

At UTMB the vests worn by the pros had white kwivers holding the poles. I can't find a place to buy that combination. Is it available on the market?

[OlafRonald]

Nice movie, although i don't use the Terrex gear.

[adrenalinemadness]

8:59 absolutely heartbreaking, I hope you are able to get better
