We wanted to know what drove Anton to chase these experiences. A need for self reliance and a desire for discovery have fueled years of awe-inspiring achievements that have motivated runners, cyclists and climbers around the world. In this film, Anton dives into the purpose behind his pursuits.
For more on Anton, read his 'SW Super Tour' feature here:

Tony i remember turning 40. It concerned me and figured life might be over. But it was at 40 that i discovered you .. and started to train like you.. and finished 32 ultras.. and God knows how many thousands of training miles. I am now a lot older running my own farm in the middle of the desert where growing anything is nearly impossible. I wish i was 40.. i missing watching you and running .. thank you!

I been waiting for this colab for a long time. One of my favorite athletes and one of my favorites brands, making a classic Rapha film. Match made in heaven. At 41 I also find my self seeking activities that I can connect to, which means spending more time in the mountains.

The shaky video of Anton running up Grant Teton together with Kilian underlined by a great song from Animal Collective is still one of my favorite Trail Running Clips. This man is a legend and is good to see him on a bike doing what he does best….moveing on while talking about this crazy and beautyfull life🙏

Tony has been a long-time pillar of purity for me, but fell off my radar in the last few years. This vid was perfect medicine for the phase I'm working through right now. Glad to see he's crushing hard as ever, and articulating better than ever the challenge to balance beauty, transcendence, and hardship that most of us are well acquainted with.

Feels like Rapha have got their mojo back, this style of emotive personal connection has been missing for a long time, felt like the brand became faceless and lost it's identity since the end of the Continental era. Good to see stuff like this coming back

Holy freakin heck...those B&W shots were fantastic.

Got into trail running because of tony and Killian. And have been getting into adventure riding because of him. Such an inspiration

your movies are just the best Rapha Films

Great Short Film! The emotion and wrestling was incredible! We are all on different journeys, some young, some old and some in between. Outdoor pursuits tend to help us hear our thoughts and sort out what we are telling ourselves. Again Great Job to all on the film!

I never put any comments out there ever, but definitely just want to give perspective on this. I’ve been injured from over training for over four years. I’ve been on long runs in the prettiest places where I don’t remember any of it because of obsessive based focus. Seriously enjoying a walk can make just as good memories as you being on god level fitness in the mountains. There’s so much out there in the world. Do everything, just be grateful you get to do it and don’t piss on people who just want to do chill paces all the time. It’s very much their life.
