S Army Kettle run...

That's funny, I just dropped that into my Netflix queue over the weekend - now I'll need to move it up to the top of the list.
If I can take a break from Peaky Blinders, that is.
Gave me a whole new perspective on my weekend long run ...
Agree wholeheartedly. Like you said, it showed what their personal experience of such a challenge was like. I would have liked it more if there were more specifics on distances run and such. I couldn't follow the graphs they occasionally flashed.
Don't make excuses for why you can't get it done.
Focus on all the reasons why you must make it happen.
I think I saw that on cable, plus a shorter film on the making of the documentary. It was really good. I thought they did a run on every continent? I know there was a run in Antarctica. Major commitment in any case of time, money and effort.
Ha, I also just discovered this one on Netflix online & added it to my (already lengthy) list.

Watched it. Also check out Mile Mile & 1/2. and Marathon about an autistic boy running 3 hr marathon. and 4 min. mile.
Just watched it. Truly amazing stuff. My only beef was that it was naturally targeted at a general audience rather than to runners, so I would've liked to see a lot more detail on pacing strategy, gear, nutrition, etc.
Me too! I completely agree with you.
Just watched another good one on Netflix - Run for Your Life, the story of Fred Lebow who started the NYC Marathon.
I just recently watched a pretty terrible running movie called 4 Minute Mile. The only redeeming thing is that the guy kind of looks like he could maybe run a 5 minute mile. Desert Runners was interesting and worth a watch, I guess. The best running movie that I have watched recently has got to be Running Madness. You can watch it for free online. Footage from the 2002 Western States 100 including a goofy looking Scott Jurek. This is one that I would recommend.

OK, we just downloaded it from Netflix and have it loaded up. The internet is so helpful, I might have ended up watching Big Bang Theory reruns again otherwise.

I loved this.

Thanks for the recommendation, Joann! There went my evening :-) I really enjoyed that!
