Found another Running Movie - Across the Tracks

I came across a running movie the other day about two brothers who run the 800 in high school -  Across the Tracks. Brad Pitt stars as a determined straight laced runner trying to get a track scholarship to Stanford and his brother played by Rick Schroder, who was kind of naughty in the beginning of the movie, is trying to get his life back on track .  The movie is full of cheese but overall has a good message and the director even goes so far as to get 400m race splits right during the races. You know in some movies the director tries to fake times but not in this film. The runners did not go out in 45 seconds and end up running a 1:40 800m so that was kind of interesting that there must have been a runner advising these scenes in some way. If you have some time check it out, there is some language in the movie but overall a pretty solid message and a good watch.

Running Movies

I came across a running movie the other day on Showtime with Michael Douglas starring. It was called Running. Never heard of this movie before kind of cheese, kind of inspiring, kind of motivating but worth a watch.  Check it out.

An Inspiring Running Movie

I caught a running documentary/movie over the weekend on ESPN classic called Running the Sahara. It was about 3 runners running across Africa.  The film turned out to be very inspiring and motivating.  It is pretty amazing to see what the runners endured and accomplished on their journey. Check it out if you have a chance sometime.
