I really enjoyed the podcast. I wish I could have been at the screening with all those guys. I just ordered the video and can’t wait to watch it.
I agree. Enjoyed the podcast and can’t wait to see the movie. Thanks for the review! 🙂
In response to Andy’s criticism, you forgot to mention that I included Tracy Garneau, Joelle Vaught, Nkiki Kimball, Devon Crosby Hems, Megan Arbogast, Rori Bosio, Jen Benna, and Caren Spore, plus a few midpak runners. So though the focus is these four guys, we did not exclude women from the film. Also in reference to the Geoff Anton intro scene, you have realize he awkward this was. These guys have spent months envisioning how they want to beat the other person, so this is a natural tension and has nothing to do with being intentionally rude or the exclusion of women. Jenny and Tony are great friends.
In following these top runners, was there anything you learned from them or any incredible feats (good or bad) that were not caught on tape?
PS – this DVD is first on my xmas list, can’t wait!
PPS – podcast with J.B. is up!
Well, there you go. I reckon I’m the jerk for excluding them all from my memory bank. I guess I’ll have to buy the DVD and commit it to memory. Like I said, awesome film. Even awesomer now that my criticism has been criticized.
This DVD will be a Christmas gift to ME!!!!
I watched the movie at a screening at my local running store and it was awesome and motivating! Can’t wait for my copy to come in the next day or two!!!!
