Movie Reviews of Spirit of the Marathon

Movie Review: Stellar Running Documentary
Summary: 5 Stars

The Spirit of the Marathon is a great documentary about running. This film follows a wide range of runners training for the 2005 Chicago marathon. From an older experienced "Penguin" marathoner, a married couple who has ran many marathons hoping to qualify for Boston, 2 first time marathoners and two elites. The film follows them from the beginning of their training to race day. If your new to running, an intermediate runner or an advanced runner there is someone in this film you can identify with. Many things that happen to runners during training and racing also happen in this film from hitting the wall,struggling with injury to the guilt that comes with how much time it requires to train for a marathon is covered. The history of the marathon is also briefly covered and a few great runners such as Katherine Switzer are interviewed as part of the film to discuss marathon running. This movie is inspirational,moving and entertaining even for the non runner. I have watched this film five times and it never get's old. I highly recommend it. If you enjoy this film you may also enjoy Ultramarathon Man: 50 Marathons - 50 States - 50 Days,The Runner: Extreme UltraRunner David Horton,Running the Sahara [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2 Import - Great Britain ], Running on the Sun, or Saint Ralph
