That one's hard to beat.
Hear that banjo playing, find another gear. That's what I'm thinking.
Ned Beatty may not feel the same way, but I don't know how anyone can hear a banjo and not smile.
Yeah, well...sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

One of my favs.
Runners run
I had watched this full 90 minute documentary online a couple years ago but now I can only find a 17 minute portion of it available:
The Golden Hour
This documentary tells the story of NZ sport’s ‘golden hour’, when on 2 September 1960 in Rome, two Arthur Lydiard-coached running men won Olympic gold: 21-year-old Peter Snell in the 800m, and Murray Halberg in the 5000m shortly after. The outlier triumph tale mixes archive footage with recreations and candid interviews (Halberg’s battle with disability and doubt is poignant). NZ Herald critic Russell Baillie praised the result as “riveting” and “our Chariots of Fire”. It screened on TV prior to London 2012 and was nominated for a 2013 International Emmy Award.
I also liked this George Sheehan interview with Charlie Rose: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7VLVOFI_dc
I've seen that one mikeymike, that's a good one. I'll have to wait until I get home to watch the George Sheehan/Charlie Rose and Lydiard videos.. this is exciting. I don't think I've ever seen George Sheehan on video. Here's another little Lydiard video that I like to pull up for inspiration every now and then.. On the Run
I watched that Charlie Rose interview with George Sheehan. That was fun. I never thought of him as being so slight of build. He (meaning George) brought up this book called How to Live on Twenty-Four Hours a Day by Arnold Bennett. The title itself is intriguing so I looked it up and found it free on Project Gutenberg. It's from 1910. Short read (maybe an hour) on how to focus your day on study, concentration, and reflection so as not to squander the rest of your life. Good stuff.
The Running Stan
If everyone talked about their hobbies just like they do running:

Just posted a link to a couple of these elsewhere, but a youtube series of videos of a talk by Jack Daniels a couple years ago. The general topic is running, with diversions to his own history at times.

I found some a bit boring, some entertaining, and some interesting.
One of the lines I enjoyed was where he mentioned that when athletes return from injury, sometimes they think, "I have to work twice as hard to get back", where in fact, they hardly have to do anything at all to improve.
It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.
