Movement - James Hayden

When your sport is incredibly hard and results and fortune don’t go your way, how do you keep the fire inside burning? How do you pick yourself back up? After five years of racing ultra-endurance, James Hayden had to re-assess his relationship with his sport. He had to find a way to live with it for the long term. No longer could he singularly focus on training with a fixed gaze on his next race. Instead, he resolved to build a more sustainable and physically active lifestyle, where the journey itself became the focus of his enjoyment. In this short film, James reflects on how a move to a tiny village in the Catalan Pyrenees allowed him to build a new life with his young family. Whether hiking with his young son, riding into the mountains with his skis on his back, or simply working on his land - James’s focus is mindfulness, contentment and Movement.
