73 year old Professor Bernd Heinrich, runner, biologist, naturalist and best-selling author asks why we run: "It's unadorned and simple, not a game.  You can do it any time, any place, no matter where I was I could always run.  It's close to what other animals do.  Running is all about movement and movement is the essence of life".

A beautifully shot examination of the physical and psychological drive to run.  Inspiring to watch someone still enjoying running in their 70s.
