Anton is the absolute definition of leaving a meaningful life. He inspires people to run like nobody else in the trail running world. Thanks for the great video Billy.

I love this guy, he's a real ultra-legend for me.

Another great short story about one of our times great runners. Even if Anton doesn't feel he has done anything special, he keeps inspiring people to run. Thank you for sharing this Billy.

this has been my go to morning video for years. something about it has shaped my identity and my running. Showed it to my running class. I was living the closest to this life as I could for a long while.

This is absolutely amazing. I could really see this being an hour long film - really diving into things. Well done, Billy. I can't wait for more from this series.

@00:28- of course he sleeps on the floor! Can't get enough Anton. Such an inspiration not just for running but simplifying our crazy busy lives.

It's refreshing to know that I'm not the only person dealing with pain and injury in order to do something I love. Thank you, Billy and Tony.

Amazing short film Billy! Love Anton and what you've captured is so raw! Great work!

Thank you for making these films. Such great work as always.

THIS IS EXCELLENT!!! as an aging athlete, this hits home so very well!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Permitting myself to have balance.

Great video Billy! You're right! He sounds so down-to-earth and real, even though he's a running legend!

soulful. he lives so closely to his soul, as people who know they are to pass shortly do.

Another excellent piece of work, Billy…Your work is incredible. Thanks….

Stupendous stuff as usual! I had goosebumps the entire way! I am already excited for the next one! Bravo!

This series is truly beautiful! Thank you!

Fantastic video

Bravo Billy! Another visual poem for us to enjoy. Great lighting, shot setup and pace. Great to get some insight into Anton's life at this stage. Thank you!

Such a lovely glimpse! Thanks.

Brilliant Billy! And the end is so strong..

i can't stop watching. thank you both for this and looking forward to the next one

Great video, Billy. I think, even without any running, you absolutely captured the soul of Tony (maybe even more so). Well done!

Merci pour cette vidéo et merci d'être ce que vous êtes, votre manière de vivre sans artifices et avec autant de simplicité nous permet de rêver. Respect champion.

I enjoyed this Billy. Great capture

Thank you so much for this ! Serious inspiration and a great start to my day !

Love your music choices and the way you balance the bg audio with the voice over. Professional.

Nice work Billy, top-notch production quality. Some really great new perspective to Tony's life as well.

Wish this video was so much longer! Great job to Billy Yang

I've been following this guy's progress for years; SO cool!😃🏞⛰🏃‍♂️

love it, nice work billy!

I wish those could last the number of hours in the title. Great film.

Im trying not to cry watching this. The love for running surpasses any other activity obviously not as much as i lovey children. But When you know uoure good and have so much potential but you keep getting injured sucks mate. Like i am right now. I raced Sunday snd legit feel sciatica pain what a bummer. But we must keep going.

Great as usual Billy ! (François - France)

Awesome job man! Beautiful movie!!! Looking forward to seeing more of your work! Cheers! B

This is absolutely stunning.

I love this guy. So inspiring. ETA: I’d buy the book.

Love this! So inspiring....

Great short Billy, keep it up!

Love that guy. Surely the days of advanced athleticism are numbered from the beginning. As we age it is most important that we slowly transition away from "what I want to do" to "What is healthy for me to do". But this is a tough reality for those that perform at such a high level. The great thing about Anton is his humility, it will ensure his eventual healing and successful transformation into something different and better than he was previously if he wishes. The truth is that he will always be an integral foundation of Ultra. His efforts transcend Ultra, becoming a motivational tool for us who could only imagine doing what he, and other athletes like him do. Ultimately, the exposure of self, in the most vulnerable moments of our lives, is a gift to those of us who are paying close attention. I see a young man making the shift from what I used to be to who I will become. He is constructively engaging his challenges as we all should, as well all have to, so cheers to him, and Billy Yang for capturing such a moving story of a fine young man! Great work.

The black toenails, the journal, the singular focus. I remember it well.

This is great , loved it

Great portrait of an amazing runner!

The difference maker for me is Tony’s honesty and Billy captured it beautifully. Phenomenal mountain runner, really worked at it to the exclusion of all else. It meant that much. Biomechanical challenges and high volume may have reduced his output, however, due to these challenges, to me, Tony’s real creativity has shown through with his willingness to rock climb, scramble, and bicycle. He is a great example for how to live as you really desire to live. Each day a new challenge.

Great content billy, just did my first ulta! nice motivation!

Great stuff as always.A serious film making talent you have there and the camera angles and editing is so much better than most stuff out there.

Wow what a cool bloke. Great video Billy!!

Excellent video. Very inspiring.

This guy is pure sole

Thank you!

Damn Billy, another home run. These are awesome, you have real talent! keep up the good work!

awesome! great stuff

Thanks for sharing the inspiring video, I wanna just say keep going

Awesome *****. Can't wait for the next one and hope to see you at AC100 this year if you're pacing.

i wanted this to go on forever...

The amount of connection I felt towards the words of that man is unbelievable

Amazing video

Wow! So good!

I tore my patellar tendon at the end of a 50mile ultra. Throughout my recovery all I could think about was how to get stronger and better. It's amazing how powerful something so simple is. I'm sure he will be back.

Amazing! Just amazing!!

Great film...really well made. Feel bad for AK when I hear about the injures; when my bad back flares up and I can't run for a few weeks, it can be hard to stay positive.

I come back to this video all the time. Absolutely love this series, Billy. Think you could do one with Zach Miller? Thanks for doing what you do!

Well done guys!

Anton is a great dude

Great video. Anton is such a great guy, sucks to see him struggle with injuries. It's weird, he's at that time where his best days are probably behind him. Its weird as an athlete to realize that I'll have to deal with that myself someday. Thanks again for providing us with such a great video.

AWSOME Billy!

that was nice. thank you.

23 dislikes?? What's not to like about this he inspires people to stay fit and healthy

AMAZING!!!!

I love listening to Tony and his take on most anything on running. I think he has a lot more good running in him. I really want to see him return to WS100 and win.

awesome!!

What a legend.

what a lovely guy

So glad I found your channel. Do you have some sort of website or something where you list the camera bodies and lighting and audio gear you use? Anyways, really cool stuff. I am binge watching your videos...

Righteous Dude thanks.

Best motivation :)

Awesome

Inspiring 😊👍

Great filmography Billy. - Greg Unger

This was so well done I feel I HAVE to comment. Good stuff! Also, what was the music? Into it.

1:08 ... Oh my god, that BIALETTI heating put Anton directly in my Italian blood-mountain-family, keep run mate 🏞️

Awesome film. Simple question: How did you pull the focus from the background (Anton) to the foreground (shoes) at 1:43? So nice.

Great video ***** Can you say which is the final song at the end of the video? Congrats! And thanks from Spain :)

So cool

Hehe Tolstoy! :) Awesome vid :)

Love that he rides too😁

Billy, any knee injuries? How did you overcome them and return? Blessings

Great short movie!! Unfortunately Krupicka's best years are behind him and a new generation will take his place.

2021 The Prophecy Returns!

love

Who is the artist who created the music? Great soundscapes!!!

the perfect guy!.

Hey Billy, great film as always. What is the background music?

Superb! What is the music you used?

Billy, when are you going to do one of these about me?

hope he can stay injury free, an awesome runner !!maybe he should look at his nutrition more seriously!!

Vulnerable. Honest. Genuine. Thank you!

I'd love to read a tony autobiography

I feel like I could be this dudes best friend lol

menos....casi siempre es más less....almost always is more.
