"Finding Traction" presents the inspirational story of ultra runner Nikki Kimball and her quest to become the fastest person in history to run America's oldest hiking trail, the 273-mile Long Trail. The documentary asks what drives her to attempt such an incredible feat, and follows Nikki's journey from its beginning - training and racing in the Rocky mountains - to her actual record attempt through Vermont's beautiful but brutal Green Mountains.

A lot of people find the Barkley Marathons through the documentaries. If you find stuff like this compelling, I'd recommend Nikki Kimball's Finding Traction or some of the shorter stuff at Aravaipa Running's YouTube channel[0]. The Western States Endurance Run just took place this last weekend and was live-streamed for 30 hours. Similarly, Ultra-Trail du Mont Blanc (UTMB) is next month and will have a much more professional livestream.
