Dean Karnazes - New Movie and Book

Ultra-runner and fitness promoter Dean Karnazes completed that crazy adventure of 50 marathons in 50 days back in 2006 while trying to inspire others to get off the couch and move the body. Most probably thought he was a nut (aren’t all endurance athletes) but I bet there are a good number exercising today thanks […]

Excellence In Sport

I have always enjoyed watching the highest level of sport such as the World Series, Superbowl, or Hawaii Ironman. The Olympics provide a continuous display from those athletes at the highest level of their particular sport. The interesting thing is you don’t have to be familiar with the sport to be able to appreciate the […]

What it Takes - Triathlon Documentary

Another endurance sports video! I recently watch a triathlon documentary/film - What it Takes. The film follows four top professional Ironman triathletes (Peter Reid, Lori Bowden, Heather Fuhr, and Luke Bell) for a complete season as they work their way towards the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii. It is more a behind […]

Running Movies - Kickstart That Training

The Final Sprint posted an article on the upcoming Running Film Festival in Eugene Oregon. Yes, running film festival! No, not running while watching a film but actually watching a movie about running. Endurance junkies unite!
The current list of films:

Run For Your Life
Spirit of the Marathon
Indulgence: 1000 Miles Under the Colorado Sky
Run Like Hell
Showdown: Five […]

Limitless Potential - Yes You!

Many times we tell ourselves and others that we can’t do this or that. I am going to say 99.9% of the time, that is total garbage.
Check out the video of this 13 year old girl that chose to run a 50 mile trail race with her mother. I wonder how many others said she […]

I found this neat organization a couple days ago.
Soles4Souls is a charitable organization delivering new and gently used shoes of all types to those in need around the world. Their slogan is “Changing the […]

Born To Run - Ryan Shay

ESPN put together a wonderful piece covering the life of U.S. marathoner Ryan Shay who unexpectedly passed away while running at the Olympic trials in New York City last November.
I had not followed Ryan’s career before this event but a few things caught my attention from this video (besides the loss of such a young […]

Ryan Hall Prepares for the London Marathon

Ryan Hall provided the world another glimpse into what he is made off. This video from GodTube follows along with one of his key workouts in preparation for the London marathon, a nice little 24 mile run with some impressive tempo work.
Ryan’s physical abilities are quite inspiring but what impresses me the most is his […]

Thoughts on the Hawaii Ironman Coverage

I was able to watch most of the Hawaii Ironman coverage on Saturday and thought the pro race coverage was decent. I always would love to see more but that is what the live Internet coverage is for. The NBC show is created for a much greater audience than just a small percentage of endurance […]
