I liked Spirit of the Marathon, although I didn’t like that they focused on only the two ends of the participation spectrum: elites (Deena Kastor and Daniel Njenga) and a few middle-to-back-of-the-pack and/or charity runners. I wished they’d included at least one competitive non-elite to get the whole picture of who runs marathons.
Thanks for the laugh. Probably the deep-seeded reason why I don’t ever run on treadmill…
Its fun!.
And this one good marathon trailer movie “The Spirit of the Marathon”
So i want to go to the USA for run a marathon!!!.

Surely not the last thing.

@Julie, totally agree.

I Liked SOM too. They did have a guy who was trying for a BQ, but he dropped out with a knee injury. Pity.
I think that guy dropped out because, as a hoot, he put the treadmill on 12mph and ran on it for the camera.
I share Julie’s view on SOM. I would like to have seen someone below the elite level but still pretty fast, such as someone going for a OT qualifier.
I thought you would have been more adept at treadmill running by now 😉
Very clever – spot-on with the movement and sound effects.
