Virtual Trail Runs

In July this year, while running at dusk across the mountain peaks behind my home, I thought its such a shame that only a handful of people make the effort to climb up and experience the breathtaking trails we have here. I thought how can I get more people to understand what it's like to run here.

Having seen a few virtual runs on YouTube, I knew it was something people do to make treadmill runs more immersive. So the next day, I went to a local store and bought a GoPro. I played around with the video settings on serval test runs as I tried to find the smoothest way to hold the camera to capture that immersive 4k ultra HD, first-person-view (POV) style.

I hope this channel grows into the ultimate destination for immersive virtual trail runs. I'm a regular runner, so it's incredibly motivating to keep exploring and finding new trails to film so that I can share them with everyone around the world.
