Can we see more movies about back of the packers?

            A colleague told me about this new movie on YouTube about running called Life in a Day .
While I love, love, love watching all movies about running, I am getting a bit tired of watching ONLY movies about elites. Not to downplay the accomplishments of these runners, running 100 miles in under 18 hours is quite impressive, but so is running 100 miles in 30 hours. I get it, it's human nature, and also very American to want to focus on the mostest, yet, I believe all stories about running as equally inspiring.... If you have any suggestions of films that focus mostly on the mid to back of the packers, please comment below. If I find any, I will post as well. 




Now here (below) is a movie I have watched at least twice and bawled my eyes out. Just something about following one person's journey and seeing them reach their goal that makes me get all emotional.  

Best running movie EVER!!!

    Just saw the BEST running movie ever on Netflix. It's a South Korean movie. The description reads: Based on the true story of Bae Hyeong-jin of South Korea, this film follows austistic Cho-Won, who dreams of running a marathon. With support from his mother and coach, his dream becomes a reality. Trailer below:

One of my favorite inspirational running videos....

Running on the Sun (a running movie)

                     

                          So what is your favorite running movie? I have not watched enough of them to yet feel I have a 'favorite'. I have watched My Run, The Spirit of the Marathon, The Terry Fox story and last night I watched Running on the Sun about ultra-runners running a famous 135 mile race in the desert . Above is the link to the movie on Youtube....Warning, it comes in 9 parts. After each part, Youtube will have a link to the next one on the top left of the screen.
