My go-to running motivational videos...


Here are some of my go-to running youtube videos that will get you/keep you inspired to run and smash out those running goals.


Top of my list is none other than the brave hearts Ryan Sandes and Ryno Griesel.

The Fastest Way To Cross The Himalayas | Lessons From The Edge Ryan Sandes and Ryno Griesel are always the top on my list. Creates some feel-good moments for me as a South African. Smashing out the 1504km run across the Great Himalaya Trail is always incredible to watch. This was a massive effort, overcoming a number of challenges including frostbite, injury and sleep deprivation to complete this journey.

Derek Redmond Barcelona 92: 400-meter sprint This running video might be short but it is almost impossible for me to watch this video without having a bit of a tear in my eye. The true human spirit and the power of never giving up, really make for some good life lessons. Let me know in the comment box below if you can watch this one without tearing up?

UNBREAKABLE: The Western States 100 - Feature Film - Limited Release Unbreakable: The Western States 100 feature film, follows the four lead men on this amazing journey:

How one wrong turn changed Jim Walmsley's career... This is one of those life-changing moments that everyone experiences in their lives which will either make you or break you. See how Jim Walmsley takes on this massive blow when he makes one wrong turn in the Western States 100 miler after leading most of the race.

Sub 2 Hour Marathon - Inspirational Video

Most of us will never forget this challenge. Eliud Kipchoge “Only the disciplined ones are free in life”. Watch this video of how Eliud Kipchoge crosses the finish line as the first man to run a Sub 2 hour Marathon. Whether you're a 5, 10, half, marathon runner or even an ultra runner this man inspires us all.

These are some of my most loved motivational videos. I find myself watching them whilst, getting ready to go out for a run, especially early mornings before one of my long run.
