    Running on the Sun - doc about Badwater

     

    I love 'em all, but that one was actually painful to watch.

      I'd probably watch most running documentaries, whatever they were on.

       

      TVNZ has screened a documentary here in NZ called "the Golden Mile" which was interesting. It was looking at the influence of Lydiard and also what two elite runners (Snell and Halberg) went through to eventually win gold  at the olympics (a very big deal for our small country). This was the period when Lydiard was on the outer and had to coach his athletes through the fence as he was not allowed into the Olympic areas.

      One day I decided I wanted to become a runner, so I did.

          Just found another one I enjoyed - also about kiwi runners. Some great 70's shorts and hair!

            Isn't "Fire on the Track"  about Steve Prefontaine a good one?  (need to order it someday)

              I really enjoyed 'Hood to Coast'.

              The only difference
              That I see
              Is you are exactly the same
              As you used to be
