I am an adventure athlete and outdoorsman dedicated to exploring the vast spectrum of human performance and wilderness self-sufficiency. My search has led me from ultramarathons in the searing heat of Fiji to the jungle tribes of Malaysia, training and testing myself in disciplines such as freediving, ultrarunning, climbing, wilderness survival and tracking. I hope that my humble stories may inspire others to look toward their own potential and live a little more alive.

Interview with Shane Benzie | Natural Human Movement and Running Performance
Full article here: www.georgebrill.co.uk/blog
An interview with Shane Benzie whilst during a collaborative research expedition in the Malaysian rainforest. While we had a little down time between hiding from thieving jungle elephants and chasing Batek tribesmen with kinesiology tape, I figured it’d be worthwhile to have a short chat with Shane about his work.

I ran 3 mile barefoot once and I got so many stones, twigs and glass in my feet that I couldn't walk properly for about a week
Amazing! Thanks!

Thanks for the killer video friend
The lake district shots are stunning - cant wait to run there!
Thank you. And enjoy it--it's up there with the very best of playgrounds!
Yeah but like, I run near a best buy. So there's that 😭
Good video ,
No this is good ,good u give times and distance,I am giving myself 8 years to run Edinburgh marathon I will be 60 my resting heart rate is 44 ?no issues ,can run 9 /4 km per hour for 20 miles treadmill ,any tips ,I am currently doing that running slow thing (than usual lol)and have started cycling x training is something I am keen on ,to take stress away from body (i mean I will run marathon 8 years from now Not that it will take me 8 years to complete(though might be an option lol ))any tips
Glad to hear that you're going for it! Biggest tip is don't wait 8 years!! If you're running 20mi already you can do a marathon no problem. Sign up for next years!! And then just aim to go faster/stronger each year for the next 8 years rather than training for one in 8 years time! If you was to be in the perfect shape it may never happen--a lesson i've learnt time and time again, so go for it now and improve as you go
At the moment plan is to run 12/14 mile day ,an 8 mile day ,then maybe 4/6 day at slow pace to build a base then cycle for cardio ,after a couple of the runs I plan to do a high intensity workout 15 mins or so after run. Any thoughts ?also what is the significance of my resting heart rate at 44 bpm?
@@bigflat1238 Sounds a good plan to me. I wouldn't over worry about the exact plan. The important points are consistency over many weeks and months. And then to gain speeds for a marathon you will, as you say, need to be doing some high intensity work at some point. But don't overdo it. One session a week will be more than enough for a first marathon. And the cycling is definitely a good idea for an an active recovery. And don't worry about the resting heart rate. It's not much good as an indicator of anything on its own as people's vary massively anyway, but checking that it isn't unusually elevated first thing in the mornings can be a useful early warning system for overtraining
Yes ,I probably will schedule marathons in ,I am down for half in September,but I want to be comfortable running my first marathon,the marathon is a goal but being fit etc in my 60s. Is another aim
@@bigflat1238 Well the best of luck to you with it all. Do let us know how it goes!
Amazing
My people😍😍😍😍
Tq for making this video of my people ❤️
What song is at 1:00?? I NEEEDD to know!
Darude - Sandstorm
Luke Turner No it’s not 😂
Very interesting interview - I am very excited for your future collaborations 🙌🏻
A beautiful video on one of the original people of Southeast Asia👍🏾. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
a bit too many cuts, but the video is awesome, gj
Cheers, and I appreciate the feedback!
Nice video, and the terraclaw 220! One of my favorite shoes!
I had been able to prepare for my half marathon training making use of this marathon training program “Zοrοtοn Axy” (Google it). I ran a PR even if I just only used 6 weeks of the provided schedule! I`m presently using it for my marathon training courses, and am running better training runs in comparison to previous marathon training. I ran another half during my marathon training program, and set another PR. .
Can i share this video?
Hi Anizam, yes of course - please do!
@@georgebrill8943 tqvm...ill share❤
Thanks for sharing, I am new to ultra, training for my first 50, I'm a slow runner so it will probably take me all day, but hoping to get in before it goes dark :D
There's no shame in being slow - you see more of the scenery that way! Enjoy it though, it's a great sport and a fantastic community. Which 50 are you doing?
THE ORIGINAL PEOPLE OF ASIA!!!!
Yes👍🏽... Descendants of Afrika🌱
gametimechumps UMMMMM no they are no more African then the han Chinese , gtf out of here with that out of Africa bull shit , it’s a theory because it can’t be proven because it didn’t happen
@@Chowanoc222 whew! 🤪... It's clear that this is an emotional topic for ya bud. Wasn't meant to get you fired up... But, since you stated it's "theory" "bullsh!t" "can't be proven" " cause it didn't happen " ... Care to elaborate a liiittle more clearly on that? 👂🏽
gametimechumps Darwinism and the “THEORY” of evolution is all a lie to make man forget about god and claim he doesn’t exist , we didn’t come from monkeys and a Big Bang! Ect , white racist came up with the out of Africa theory to show that colored people evolved from monkeys which is complete bull shit
@@Chowanoc222 Whew Again 🤪🤦🏽♂️... I think you may have confused yourself even more with that rebuttal... I'll do us a favor and bow out gracefully- because I have a feeling that this "debate" 🙄 will not conclude nor have a mutual understanding with your erratic and irrational statements. ✌🏽
Stop heel striking and switch to zero drop shoes with not much height in the sole or barefoot which is much better. You have to ease into it though.
Good content George. Enjoyed watching and the scenery. I have begun a very similar vlog and enjoy sharing the training, aches and pains, and scenery.
Cheers! And I shall be sure to check it out.
Which ones are female
I have my first ultra in June having just completed my first marathon!
Nice! All the best for it! Which one you running?
@@georgebrill8943 in trying race to the Tower across the Cotswolds. 🙂 Should be stunning scenery.
@@gavin.d.m well all the best - I hope it goes well!
double ice axes but no crampons? strange... enjoyed the video though
Haha strange indeed! They were in the bags - it never got icy enough to need them. We just figured we'd muck about with axes since we had them...
Nice one ! Just spotted the mikledore bit at The Scafells, ! Enjoy your Running 🏃♂️👍😀
Innuendo’s galore 😉
WildFamily hahaha, never even occurred to me
Stupendous window into your time with the batek thank you for sharing 👍
6:00 is this how to basic or what?
There's not much more to barefoot running ;) - 1) take off shoes and socks; 2) run
@@georgebrill8943 I meant the youtube channel HowToBasic, that shot kinda reminded me of him :D. Great video btw.
@@oliverdoelling319 Haha, okay, I'll check it out. I was only kidding anyway :)
It interests me how poor your running technique appears from a track perspective. Little backlift, no real arm driving, completely wrong for a conventional runner. Yet you can churn out mileage that conventional runners can't. Just an observation!
Haha, I agree my form needs a lot of work! I've very much just picked it up by feel. Bear in mind though that my mileage is probably much slower than your average track runner. A lot of my longer runs will be at 9-10min/miles or even significantly slower in the hills, and at that pace any significant backlight or arm driving (unless you're on a very steep ascent) is probably a waste of energy!
Thank you for this beautiful video!! We are living at the south west coast of Sardinia - whole year round. would like some foto from you on our website www.vacationhousesardinia.com feel good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you! I have a few you're welcome to use - I'll try to send you a message if I can work out how.
Ok George, I should have said UTMB
Want to train for an Ultra, train on a points qualifier course for the UTBM in Spain, with runinthesun.com Running holidays
UTBM or UTMB...
This is seriously stunning landscape.
