Movie Reviews of Spirit of the Marathon
Movie Review: perfect running movie for the MENTAL side of your injury rehabilitation
Summary: 5 Stars
Spirit of the Marathon shows the stories of six runners as they prepare for the 2005 Chicago Marathon.
I first watched the movie as an injured runner, with an ice pack on my hip from ITBS. I really identified with how the other runners dealt with their injuries and persevered. I enjoyed this movie and would recommend it to other runners, especially those comtemplating the marathon.
The image of injured runners staying with the sport by becoming race volunteers really stuck with me. I am happy to volunteer for races now.
Movie Review: Sweet home Chicago
Summary: 5 Stars
This is not a training film. This is about an event, an event that takes not only physical endurance, but metal and spiritual endurance. I know, I am biased since I consider Chicago home, but this gives you a feel of what marathon runners feel when they run Chicago. I have run my best and worst times on this course and I will run it again. After 42 marathons around the country, I still enjoy watching this movie and learn something new each and every time. The name says it all "SPIRIT". Doug WidowskiMovie Review: Running? You just gotta have this!
Summary: 5 Stars
I decided to run my first marathon this year. I even made a blog [...] to tell my story and have some sort of record of what I`m learning by training for a marathon. My trainer recommended this DVD ... so I bought it and all I can say is that any person who practices any sport; any person who has ever dreamed of beggining to run, should have this. Inspiring, entertaining, and touching. I`m runnin NY Marathon and now I have a general idea of what happens in this kind of race. It`s amazing.Movie Review: Highly recommended
Summary: 5 Stars
I enjoyed this movie a lot !!!. Very well filmed and it goes directly to the emotional part of the sport competition at different levels, from the elite runners to the simple amateur. Look at the eyes of the main characters and you'll figure out what exactly a marathon means. I've never been in Chicago and the movie shows nice pictures of the city. To the end of the marathon, a banner with something written made me laugh a lot : "You're all crazy". Perhaps we are.
Movie Review: Moving on all Levels
Summary: 5 Stars
I just started running again after having had foot surgery. I was looking for something to motivate me and had heard about this video. After watching the struggles and triumps of the runners being showcased, I felt energized to continue with my running. The movie emphasizes that it's not about how fast you are. It's more about fulfilling personal goals. I highly endorse this move as a must have for all levels of runners.
