JUST KEEP RUNNING | New Zealand Ultramarathon Runner Ruby Muir | Full Documentary. 

What an amazing, self aware person. Also beautiful running style!

She has the fastest and cleanest running mechanics I've ever seen. Impressive. Wish I could flow so nicely on the trails.

I am inspired by this completely. I started running because a work colleague suffer a heart attack, it scared me more than him and I was only 4 years younger than him and I have a young child. I started walking 10k fast at 4am and soon I was running 500m and walking 500m and then on to 1k and so on. Now I can run 5-10k everyday and I smile all the way what ever the weather because nature has showed me success is in doing and failure is in not starting. I hope to run with my son when he grows up.

Love the way she runs, so light footed but so powerful at the same time. Excellent video.

She's flying down those trails! So light and so graceful!

I often get annoyed with unsolicited "suggested videos" that pop up. But every now and again I find one that is pure gold and this is certainly one of them. I echo many of the comments made already. What a beautiful person, a beautiful place and a beautiful story.

What a beautiful video. Lovely girl who has found the freedom of running in the hills and bush of NZ. Inspired me at the age of 75 to buy a pair of barefoot running shoes, and run on the tracks of Ruapehu. Hope to meet Ruby one day.

Ruby! It’s okay to be fast and strong! Don’t apologize for your gifts, talent, work ethic and beauty!! USE THEM ALL to affect the world for good! Blessings to you and stay pure of heart!

A brave and talented runner and I'm pleased she found a partner that shares her passion, otherwise her inner turmoil could overcome her. I hope she is finding peace in her future.

Ruby Muir, just keep following your heart!

Please keep making films!! This is all I need to remind me how amazing trail running in NZ was. Incredible scenery and locals with the biggest hearts!

Ruby's running inspires so many, she's already helping people without even realising.. I have had severe mental health problems after the death of my partner, and had pretty much withdrawn from life. I stumbled across a short interview with Ruby - I don't know where it came from - and it really lit a spark inside me, the way she spoke about running and grief and meaning and life in general. I was extremely unfit but I did the couch to 5k programme, and just kept running! I sought out trails early on thanks to Ruby, and this weekend I ran across a mountain. It was the most exhilarating, amazing, cathartic thing I have ever done. My family can't believe the change in me. I'm embracing life again and the world literally looks more vibrant and beautiful to me. All thanks to a random clip of an interview with Ruby, and the subsequent videos and articles I found about her. She gave me my life back ❤️❤️❤️

I can relate a lot to this, I started running not long after my mother died, trauma can be a great motivator to push you to do things you didn't know you were even capable of. Great documentary, thanks

What a great family you have! Great story. Run hard. You’re father was an amazing man. Go easy on yourself Ruby.

inspirational- and recognize using running to get through an extended period of stress and worry. Thank you.

What a great short filmand Ruby is so honest and the values she holds I only realized them in my 40's. So kudos for your insight into life's true meaning and really do envy your beautiful upbringing so close to nature and so respectful of how everything we do as long as it can be honoring nature and it's living ecosystems it will be alright. Not doing so creates conflict and death around you like the big cities and to be able to recognize that at such young age is simply incredible. I hope more people watch this terrific film! As I write this only 499 thumbs up and 22,057 views but it should be in the millions! Thanks again.

Ms. Muir, thank you for sharing your tender heart with us! Your running form and intuitive sense of the terrain is extremely impressive!! My daughter and I started trail running in FiveFingers a decade ago, and we still train and race in them. I hope you two continue to follow your hearts and your happiness, and that you can learn to love all of the successes that you are creating.

I'm older now and always wanted this, well done and you are so brave in your story to us, and wish you both happiness for ever 💜 I lost my mother at a young age, about 33 years ago, and running still helps me as I'm still struggling with everything, thank you for making this video x

We are on on that great Rollercoaster ride.. Least we can do is admire the view & enjoy the ride.

Great film on a great subject, and what a running technique

Beautiful kind soul and a refreshingly honest story. We ran the same race a couple of years ago( Tarawera) which is still the most beautiful race I have ever seen. NZ is paradise - Ruby is blessed on so many levels ✌

She runs beautifully! And looks so fast! Awesome

A beautiful documentary with so many wonderful layers. Thank you for sharing your story.

Loved the Video! Very inspiring! Brilliant style,and Iron feet💪 Thanks for sharing 🙏

Such a wonderful down to earth person! 🙏🏼

Beautiful short film showcasing beautiful New Zealand and a wonderful runner. Makes feel like getting my trainers on now.

what a beautiful and heartfelt little film. Ruby expressed a few things about running in a relatable but nuanced way that I really appreciated.

Cool video and very relatable. Im 20 or so years down the line and now unable to run due to an obsessive relationship with running/competing resulting in many injuries. If i could rewind the clock i'd never toe the line again and just hit the trail for enjoyment. Such a joy to watch how easily you move across the ground.

Thank you!! This is so good. Ruby you are inspiring! Aaron you totally nailed it. I lOVED and was totally blown away by the downhill pace you captured in some of those shots!

Just adding to what’s already been said. What a great short film this is and what an amazing young woman. It was very uplifting, thank you.

She seems like a wonderful person and I’m glad she’s found running and a partner. Thank you for the video.

Great film Aaron. Thanks for sharing 👍

Wow! Thanks for sharing your journey with us

Sharing your story Ruby through this short film does serve others. It's inspiring watching run across terrain you run across with the connection to the environment you have is uplifting and beautiful.

I really love your video 🤩 very incredible. I also love running, you are my inspiration 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️.

Amazing honesty. So refreshing to see. Also I want to go to New Zealand again.

Every runner should have a partner that is a runner / understands / acceps a runners mentality.

Great film! Loving the scenery and makes me miss NZ.

What a lovely short doco. :-) Thoroughly enjoyable and well edited

You must have Iron soles on your feet!.....no way I can go bare footed on those trails. Very inspirational....hope your future is bright!

awesome story, very inspiring.

Delightful video. Best of luck to Ruby in all endeavors

Great video, so happy I found this channel. Subbed after watching this!!!!

Watching this was such an inspiration I totally get been out in the wilderness pushing yourself to the limit it really opens up a good mind space and brings you right back down to earth 🙌🙌

Hugs! What a lovely human being ❤

Refreshing story. Makes me miss my running but reminds me why I loved it so much.

The videos among with the athletes are incredible. You show an impressive mix of everthing. The technique of each runner, their attitudes and focus and also how beautiful our earth and Trailrunning is. Stay healthy and greetings from munich germany.

That was very inspiring. Thanks for making this and sharing it.

Great! Wonderful landscape!!!

Awesome running... I miss my running days in beautiful New Zealand...

You're an amazing inspiration. Thank you for sharing your story.

Greetings from Washington, D.C. I'm a new subscriber and advid distance runner (among other things). This was VERY moving😢💓😄 This young woman still seems to be dealing with considerable emotional pain (sorry, it's the clinician in me😳). I hope she keeps a health balance with running.

wow ..!! its always a delight to see a body running very well !!! strong and supple !!! congrats ..and please always do as your heart feels .. I stopped running for 25 years I regretted it a little .. but being masters 55 now I picked it up and know I was and I am a runner ..

The Art of running 🏃‍♀️ Love it ! 🤩

What an inspiring story and beautiful video.

Thanks for sharing your story. Such an inspiring, well made film.

Looked like sunrise hut to me. What a great video

Wow, the speed on the descents.. plus minimalist shoes, also on rocks with minimalist shoes.. I wear minimalist shoes walking around to help strengthen my feet.. but think my feet would crumble.

Awesome film thanks .

Thank you for the inspiration Ruby

Watching this because since 2017 a lot has happened to me. A really hard job loss, then losing my dad and then my mom. I've been a lifelong runner and I need to get back to the running lifestyle. I ran today in the rain and I loved it.

Incredible film and story. Hope she's doing well.

Another great film Aaron!

Wow! Very, very impressive!

Vibram Fivefingers!!! 🤟🤟

Great, inspirational story!💪 Well documented.

So honest and raw. Very powerful person

Really lovely video, suited her personality well

Brilliant 😁👍

Doing in five fingers !!! Respect ✊🏻

Don't know why I got this in my recommended but I'm glad I did. Very nice and she looks very young and really wise. I really liked the message at 7:48 too.

Thanks!

Hell yeah! 😃

Wow I just stumbled across this video and I loved it thankyou I’d like to think it was quite cathartic for you to make it.

she's the most graceful trail runner i've seen so far. if she can keep that, i think she can beat those at the top of the ultra world easily.

I just love this woman. Great runner and great personality.

This lass would thrash all of our fell runners. She's brilliant!

Truly inspirational, Kia Kaha 💪

Wow 😳 you are an incredible Lady , don’t ever give up 👏.

An amazing and forthright young lady. You are young, enjoy it, its not a crime. Your father would be very proud of you.

Best of the best race : in every our race results in ;DUV ultra marathons statistics 😄😄so nice life as we have endurance power to add miles 😃😀just bcz our healthy life, Congratulations every participant in every race!!

You run beautifully not just 'in' but 'with' and knowing of the land and trusting yourself. When your heart is as broken as the land you traverse and to be able to be in your body, be the breath in your lungs and find deep connection with the world, the hills the forest and even the city through every sense from the soles of your feet to the smell of the land and the changing light it is a fantastic healing. To be deeply (maybe lost a while) inside that is part of the trail but the trail widens and the vista opens, not always easily. Your journey has surely been hard but is inspirational - a gift - thanks.

As trail runners we know all about busting your toe! She runs like that with them shoes! Respect

beautiful!

im gonna run a 50 km next year, i ran a marathon sunday in 3 hours 29 minutes, and ive always had a dream ever since i was young to become an ultramarathoner, working my way up!

Perfect

Love it, much inspirational. I do a 5K run every saturday in parks, close to nature. I'm planning a 10K next year to celebrate my 60th birthday.

that spoke to my heart

That’s a great documentary, I won’t run an ultra but at least it will inspire me to run more, not sure about the minimalist shoes though, I am too far gone the other way 😂

Beautiful 🌸 thankyou for sharing your story. I grew up on a small vegetable farm and have a calling for nature and fight for it a bit too. You can only be you 💚 Be you

They are both crazy fast.

the speed in the shot at 6:08 is kinda mind blowing tbh.

Healing journey

One more comment about serving others vs the individual focus of running - you (Ruby) is likely inspiring young girls and other young women.

🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃
