The story

"Necesito un milagro." I said it. Ten minutes later I was running again.

The most complicated moment of my running career. Patagonia. An ultramarathon. I was not able to run a single meter more. I walked into an aid station and told them: Necesito un milagro. I need a miracle. Because I could not do another step.

I continued. After the aid station, I started a video. In the voice, you can hear that I am absolutely crying. Ten minutes later, I was running again.

That video exists because the glasses were on. Not because I took out my phone. Not because I stopped. Because the glasses are always there, and the moment was not interrupted by the act of recording it.

"The truly only real point of view is if you capture something with your Meta glasses. I truly like that, love that, and live that."
From Val d'Aran to Bolivia

These are not staged shots. These are what I saw. All captured hands-free, while running, while moving, while being fully present in the place.

Why the Vanguard changed everything

Generation 1: Meta Ray-Ban. Good for daily use. But: I always had to carry the Meta glasses AND separate sport glasses for running and cycling. A compromise.

Generation 2: Oakley Vanguard × Meta. Sport-capable. Running, cycling, ultras — everything. One glasses, everywhere.

I have not carried separate sport glasses since.
