Now Tracksmith is trolling everyone, they can't be serious with this video...

Duncan Trussell always. That is some deep exchange going on.

Also Moffat Road. Used to be a nice, quiet route up high yet without the punishing climbs of Magnolia or Gold Hill. Mark Coogan and co. were known to go twentysome years ago, back then you would see less than a handful of others and maybe a dozen or so vehicles on the entire run.

More recently, some folks started posting their runs up there on SM and inviting big groups to run there and it quickly got overrun by flatland newcomers. Like a lot of other places on the Front Range, it got overrun and run out. Meanwhile, Gilpin Co. has set up a trailhead parking lot with latrines at the tunnel and the road sees a lot more traffic in nice weather on weekends between 4-wheelers, campers, hikers, snowshoers, and skiers. They also decided to shut down the parking available close to highway 119 to shoo away the mobs of chucklehead runners who would congregate there and act like they're entitled to block traffic or otherwise annoy the locals. Wetmore would approve starting and finishing at the tunnel, at any rate.

The route along the creek is nice, if you can go when cars aren't kicking up dust the whole way, yet the coolest thing to do up there is hike, run, or cycle over Rollins/Corona Pass to Winter Park. The stout will go over one day, spend the night, and come back the following day and others will have people shuttle vehicles over to Winter Park to pick them up.

I am an old, former, faster than most, slower than some, runner. Age and failed parts have denied me the ability to run. I started watching this video and within minutes began to recall and miss terribly something I used to relish every day. I got emotional and had to stop the video. So I guess I'm saying that Tracksmith spoke to me with this video and I thank them for understanding the purity and simplicity of what running is. A road, some shoes, heart and lungs and the need to test limits.

Sounds like an artistic take on running, however it sounds like something I’d listen to try and fall asleep. Before I rip on Tracksmith, I will say that some of what they’re doing is pretty good, especially with their funding of near elite athletes.

Otherwise they are aggressively pretentious and they represent most of what I hate in running culture. It’s sad watching people spend big money for basic clothing. Its aggravating watching these pretentious people preach to us about running with this holier than thou “I know better than you” attitude. I hope this type of elitist crap finds its way out of the sport. Apologies if I came off as some kind of cry baby, but I really dislike these guys.

Awesome, mesmerising, spellbinding, inspirational, hypnotising, meditational.

I have quite a bit of their clothing and find it high quality. I used to buy whatever was cheap but as I grew up and understood quality I started spending more on good clothing. Tracksmith is my go to along with Saysky, Soar, Roark, and Rabbit. All are better than the $15 shorts that don't last as long or fit as well.

Not sure if you are aware, but pedestrians have just as much of a right to be using a road as vehicles unless marked otherwise (highways).

Looked like bear country to me. A little company foraging in the hills above would have been a nice touch.

I mentioned blocking traffic, not using right-of-way. Same as vehicles, yes.

Start 39° 54' 46" N, 105° 32' 56" W

Turnaround 39° 54' 11" N, 105° 38' 39" W

About 5.4 miles one-way.

This is bad ass. Will watch.

Gee, never thought I could outpull the YT algorithm.

Good background viewing. Not any different than the 10 hour videos of a mountain stream/creek I put on for background ambience.

Their gear is garbage.

Longer than 60s, not shot in a vertical format, no captions, how can anyone bear watching this!?

all this "ts is pretentious" talk comes off as such projection. great you're the regular guy saving the common man from all the people who spend their own money how they choose. if someone in a sashed singlet treated you like crap, then they are an a-hole.

do you feel the same way for people who wear nike aeroswift? guess what, their lined split shorts are $24 more than ts van cortlandts.

if what you hate is people spending their own money on the higher end of the product mix (which exists for literally every segment) then you will hate every "culture".

What you mean is you can't afford their gear, are jealous, and need to blow out other people's candles to make yours shine brighter.
