I've created this video to motivate myself. I hope it may be useful for somebody else too.

Don’t wait for motivation. Just start. Mood follows action.

During recent years I’ve been recording POV footage from most of my outdoor activities — paddling, rowing, biking, hiking, Nordic walking, and endurance races like MR340.

On FitOver67 this footage appears in two forms:

• 10-minute outdoor relaxation videos — short scenic sequences with natural sound and ambient music
• Longer 30–90 minute “outdoor scenery for indoor workouts” videos designed for rowing machines, indoor cycling, steady cardio, and endurance sessions

Recently I created a companion channel: Endurance Scenery Workouts -> link in comment

This new channel focuses entirely on long real-time POV endurance sessions: cycling, paddling, rowing, hiking, and more.

No talking. No hype. Just movement, scenery, rhythm, and steady training.

Newest upload:
60 minutes paddling on Horsetooth Reservoir in Colorado aboard a Falcon canoe by Savage River.

Pros and cons of open ear bone-conducting headphones for paddle racing

I usually don’t listen to music in my paddling and training. I prefer sounds of nature. However, I tried some music in my recent Missouri River 340 races just for a couple hours and it was really helpful, especially, in the last day of race.

I pulled together my blog posts and race videos into one place - what it really feels like, how I train, and what actually matters out there.

At 70, I’m still learning every year.

I was testing this kayak for microadventures when it's impossible or not practical to bring my expedition canoe. A review is coming soon after more paddling.

Mindset for Active Aging: Lessons from Endurance Sports
https://race.fit2paddle.com/mindset-for-active-aging-lessons-from-endurance-sports/

I've created a new playlist in my FitOver67 Youtube channel: Active Aging Inspiration.
If you’ve spent enough time on the water, especially in long races, you know that paddling eventually becomes something else. It stops being just physical. It becomes mental. Philosophical, even.

During long efforts – like training sessions or races in the spirit of MR340 – you have hours to think. To process. To confront discomfort. To simplify things.

That’s where many of videos in this playlist come from. It is a collection of lessons pulled from endurance paddling, rowing, and long solo efforts – translated into ideas about mindset, resilience, and aging.

I usually train with Persian meels in my backyard, but on this Utah trip I decided to bring them along. After a long ride on my AZUB Ti-Fly recumbent trike, I stopped near Rocky Rapid along the Colorado River for a short recovery workout. Persian meels are becoming my new travel companion.
