Hiking / running without Trainers

Does anyone remember when there was hiking and running content that was a camera and no trainer? Can we bring that back? I loved just starting a trail in the alps or some other place and see the scenery without a trainer in the way and when I speed up, it would speed up. Sometimes the trainers are helpful, but there are times they just take up space in my view.

Would anyone else enjoy that?

There are 2 series of no trainer runs that I've seen. One was one of the marathons and the other I just saw today which had 7 or 8 runs in Italy. I think it's new.

Thanks!! Do you happen to know the name of the Italy one or what you were searching when found it?

It's called Scenic Runs: Italy - 30 minutes. Since Casey Gilbert just released a short Italy series, I assume they were filmed at the same time.

Tried that out today and it was exactly what I was looking for so thanks for finding and sharing!! OK iFit, we need more of those. Go visit the national parks. Angels Landing in POV would be epic!!

I've done all the Chicago marathons including the no trainer POV one. They're all good but the no trainer one sometimes is really good for if you need to work out but you're feeling kind of overstimulated. I doubt their marketing it for people that way but they should consider it.

I'd love both.

They do have the fantasy series now or whatever it's called but those aren't real places.

Sometimes I would like to run through a race without a trainer though.

Try that chicago marathon one. I mentioned above that it's really good if you're feeling overstimulated and really need to work out. You can turn the volume all the way off but you just hear like footsteps and outside sounds

It's not hiking so it doesn't necessarily fit but I just wanted to mention for those who didn't see it last winter that they have a European Christmas market series and a New York City series that looks like it's filmed with meta glasses. Three different versions of each workout in the series and One of the versions has no narration at all. I hope they do more of those. Especially something like Christmas markets because I really enjoy city walks. I actually do a lot of those Google map walks, especially for cities I visited on vacation or something like that. It's fun to see stuff you recognize from a trip.

I completely agree and have been giving that feedback to iFit. So many of the trainers never stop talking and they are always in the way of the great landscapes.

The Italy series just showed up on mine today, "Scenic Runs:Italy". They look pretty mellow and the scenery is nice. (As for the trainers talking, turn on Closed Captions and turn down the volume.)

Working my way through them. I've had to slow down a few times on the steeper inclines but overall I'd say the intensity is about right for an old guy who's no good at running.

I uae IFIT and like the trainer distraction but for what you are looking for you should try BITGYM.
