: running, one might say, is basically an absurd past - time upon which to be exhausting ourselves. but if you can find meaning, in the kind of running you have to do to stay on this team, chances are you will be able to find meaning in another absurd past - time: life .
“it’s astonishing that gatling is running for chief law enforcement officer of brooklyn while seeming to be violating election law, ” said citizens union’s dick dadey. “it doesn’t engender good will or set a good example when she’s running a campaign that doesn’t stick to the rules. ”
basically the story of a man forced to finally see the injustice around him. riley’s movie is designed to do the same thing to you. …
: for the time being, let' s not have you working out with the team. you' ll be facing viren all over again at the montreal olympics. i don' t want you racing anyone now. i just want you running. you have to explore the limits of the one competitor above everyone else you' ve always loved to face... steve prefontaine .
albany — a candidate for brooklyn district attorney, patricia gatling, appears to have accepted campaign contributions that blow past the state' s limits, allowing her to build up a sizable fundraising lead in the democratic primary campaign to elect a permanent replacement for the late ken thompson .
set for the current process both the soft and ceiling values for the number of processes to unlimited .
corporations are limited to giving an aggregate total of $ 5, 000 per year to all new york candidates, parties and pacs. election law states that individuals who raise money exceeding the contribution limits are “required to refund such excess” and can be subject to civil actions brought by the state board of elections enforcement counsel .
: well we' re running the 5, 000 at the trials, bill. what... you don' t think i can beat george young ?
: of course he wanted to win. those who saw him compete and those who competed against him were never in any doubt how much he wanted to win. but how he won mattered to him more. pre thought i was a hard case. but he finally got it through my head that the real purpose of running isn' t to win a race. it' s to test to the limits of the human heart. that he did... nobody did it more often. nobody did it better .
you' ve undoubtedly heard the maxim
no pain, no gain
but it' s only partially accurate. yes, there is discomfort involved with running (elevated heart rate, increase in body temperature, burning muscles) but true pain should be heeded. one way to measure the difference between discomfort and pain is in your running stride. if the pain you' re feeling - - say, from a stabbing sensation in the shins - - forces you to alter your running form, you need to stop and seek medical help [ source: mann ] .
as a fellow runner this dvd encouraged me and inspired me to go out running. it' s an awesome tale of one man' s journey to push himself to his genetic limits while also exploring other people' s journeys throughout the running world. this is not merely the story of a runner but also a story of what man (or woman) can achieve through self discipline, inspiration and solid hard work. this will appeal to runners and non runners alike as it is a story of spirit and determination. great stocking filler for xmas and birthday present! highly recommended !
brilliant film, the training documentery is first class if you love running and are lacking motovation this will get you going just what i needed to get me out the door again just showes what hard work can do. well done alex .
second movie within a year to tell the prefontaine story. the first being prefontaine (1997) with jared leto in the role .
without limits
is the second recent film about steve prefontaine, the legendary american runner who brought his sport into the headlines and helped topple the creaky amateur athletic establishment. like
prefontaine
( 1997), it focuses on the star' s abrasive personality and his refusal to pace himself; the only way he wanted to win was by
flat - out leading all the way .
by the time he died in a road accident, he held most of the american distance records, and one of them still stands .

what does it take to become an international marathon runner? in 1985, 102 british male runners ran under the elite time of 2 hours 20 minutes for the marathon, only 5 managed this same feat 20 years later. british male distance running had all but disappeared but why? 16 stone, obese, heavy drinking filmmaker alex vero goes on a journey to find out firsthand what it takes to become an international marathon runner and to explain the recent decline of british male marathon running. alex' s inspirational story takes many twists and turns before becoming intertwined with former ethiopian goat herder mengsitu abebe, and closer to home, recent oxford graduate ben moreau - one of britain' s bright hopes for 2012 marathon success. filmed over 3 years in 7 different countries all three runners push their bodies to the limits of human endurance as they find out if they' ve got what it takes to make the international grade .
finally got to watch this over the weekend. amazingly moving documentary and moving stories that all runners will relate to .
behind the training
is additional footage contained on the dvd. although many of the images are captured in the main film, additional advice and insight are revealed. topics include building up slowly, learning running intensity, setting goals, testing fitness, keys to recovery, setting training schedules, plyometrics, hydration, pacing, and using consistency and common sense to maximize one’s full potential. paying attention to the details is important and alex provides a unique insight into the process of trying to obtain peak fitness and race performance .
arturo ripstein' s'' hell without limits,'' the 1978 mexican film opening today at the cinema village, looks and sounds as if it were based on an idea for a luis bunuel film, which had been made, instead, by someone completely unqualified for the job .
novice and advanced runners are encouraged to follow the 10 percent rule, which states you shouldn' t increase your running mileage by more than 10 percent from one week to the next. if you currently run 30 miles a week, it would be a mistake to jump to 50 miles the following week. you may get away with it initially, but later you' ll find yourself sick, injured, unmotivated or all of the above [ sources: morris, klion ] .
i watched it last week. great story with some big names in it like haile. would have like to have seen a bit more of the training behind it though. i' ve been running 800' s all year and never seem to get any faster! here is the link to the trailer and videos on this guys site. http: / / www. runningtothelimits... . entary. htm
: yes, vanity, pre! your belief that you have no talent is the ultimate vanity. if you have no talent then you have no limits, it' s all an act of will. your heart can probably pump more blood than anyone else' s on earth, and that takes talent. the bones in your feet are so strong, it' d take a sledgehammer to break' em. be thankful for your limits, pre, they' re about as limitless as they get in this life .
a tribute to the late tab hunter, a gay matinee idol and hollywood trailblazer .
it' s a rather short film and very amateur. i don' t mean to slag off the man but to call himself a documentary filmmaker is exaggerated. the two minute interview with haile gebrselassie cannot compensate but conveniently his picture can be used to give the impression that one of the greatest runners of all times supports the author actively on his search - the video is obviously the main focus in the trailer. i am sorry guys. the competitors are great individuals and i wish them all the luck in the world, knowing that none of them reached their goals as the olympics came and went. i am disappointed as the movie promised so much but couldn' t live up to half of it. i cannot help but feel that this is a rather selfish attempt of the
filmmaker
to get some airtime and the motivation to turn his life around. the movie project itself never came out of the starting blocks due to lack of funding which in fairness mr vero is not shy to admit .
during the late 1960s and early 1970s, steve prefontaine was a unique and distinctive personality, an athlete who revolutionized the sport of track with front - running ferocity and rock a star' s ability to ignite a crowd. in the united states he remained undefeated at his distance and held all seven american records between 2, 000 and 10, 000 meters. he ran one of the more memorable races at the munich olympics and was strongly favoured to win at the montreal games in 1976, but never got the chance. in 1975, at the age of 24, steve prefontaine was killed in a car accident. blunt, cocky and charismatic, his incessant willingness to push himself to the ultimate limit earned him the enduring respect and affection of runners and fans around the world .
the film follows the life of famous 1970s runner steve prefontaine from his youth days in oregon to the university of oregon where he worked with the legendary coach bill bowerman, later to olympics in munich and his early death at 24 in a car crash .

this was really cool. my copy arrived yesterday and i was blown away by the documentary and the hard work that must have been put in to the film. the sections out in kenya and ethiopia are so beautifully filmed and moving and the interview haile gebrselassie was really super interesting. i recall that this had lots of coverage on this site a couple of years ago under' 3 hour marathon runners wants to maker olympic team' but from what i saw on the documentary it' s noting but inspiring. it had been billed as an ego trip and i think that it probably started like that but in the end this is a great advert for worldwide marathon running and what it takes to get to the top of our tough sport .
after being recommended to watch this documentary, i recommend it myself as inspirationally motivating. anyone who has an interest in running whether just to loose weight and gain some fitness, to racing and feeling they have plateaued will enjoy. people who have ran a marathon will understand the feelings alex goes through and the physical journey it takes. its astonishing what he accomplished, sheer determination. a real incentive booster which shows what we all, potentially, have in us if we want to find it .
: all my life, man and boy, i' ve operated under the assumption that the main idea in running was to win the race. naturally, when i became a coach i tried to teach people how to do that. tried to teach pre how to do that. tried like hell to teach pre to do that. and pre taught me. taught me i was wrong. pre, you see, was troubled by knowing that a mediocre effort can win a race and a magnificent effort can lose one. winning a race wouldn' t necessarily demand that he give it everything he had from start to finish. he never ran any other way. i tried to get him to, god knows i tried... but... pre was stubborn. he insisted on holding himself to a higher standard than victory.' a race is a work of art'; that' s what he said, that' s what he believed and he was out to make it one every step of the way .

i don' t normally leave review but after noticing that someone had left a one star review, i felt i had to defend the filmmaker. it is true that it is not a highly polished documentary, but that misses the point. it' s a great story about a brave challenge, and will give inspiration to anyone thinking about taking up running. well done, a great documentary that most runners will relish .
and sutherland' s performance is the film' s treasure. watching the way he gently tries to direct his headstrong young star, we are seeing a version of phil jackson' s zen and the art of coaching .
what do you think a track coach does, pre ?
he asks at one point, since pre seems to think the coach' s primary function is to frustrate him. sutherland brings a deep patience to bowerman, who understands that running is a matter of endurance and strategy, as well as heart :
men of oregon, i invite you to become students of your events .
pre thinks heart is enough and explains his success simply :
i can endure more pain than anyone you' ve ever met .
the film follows pre from his early sports failures (he was no good at football) and into running, where he quickly drew attention. the earlier film points out that his legs were short for a runner, and of unequal length; this one sees him more as naturally gifted, but heedless with his talent. we follow his progress from record to record, and from girlfriend to girlfriend (mary marckx, played by monica potter, is the true love, but he shuts her out of his life). everything leads up to the 1972 munich olympics, marred by the terrorist attack on israeli athletes .
but the point of the story is contained in the epilogue. pre returns to oregon as an amateur who is expected to work at menial jobs (he becomes a bartender) and live at the poverty line (he gets a mobile home) while training for the next olympics. other countries support their athletes, and pre leads a campaign to reform america' s rules. he makes no attempts to win friends, and in

keep in mind, your body doesn' t actually adapt to training while you' re training. it adapts during rest and recovery. intense and consistent exercise without rest and recovery (that means 8 to 10 hours of sleep a night during heavy training) makes you susceptible to injury [ source: morris ]. many running coaches also subscribe to the hard - easy theory of training. it means that typically you should follow an intense day of training with an easier day. for example, a day of speed work at the track might be followed by a day consisting of a leisurely jog .

saint ralph is the unlikely story of ralph walker, a ninth grader who outran everyone' s expectations except his own in his bold quest of trying to win the 1954 boston marathon .
gatling previously served as new york city’s commissioner of human rights but was replaced in 2014 after public advocate tish james accused her of running a “moribund” agency that failed to enforce anti - discrimination laws. two months later, she was named gov. andrew cuomo’s deputy secretary for civil rights, a position she held for six months .
there' s a lot more to the plot, all of it recounted with an unwarranted solemnity and no sense of the absurd. mr. ripstein, who prefaces the film with a quote from marlowe' s'' doctor faustus,'' takes no distance from the material. he demonstrates no irony. he accepts his grotesque characters at face value. this has the effect of making them seem possibly more foolish than necessary, and the movie an unintentional, melodramatic howler. an unlikely triangle - hell without limits, directed by arturo ripstein; screenplay (spanish with english subtitles) by mr. ripstein, based on the novel by jose donoso; cinematographer, miguel garzon; edited by francisco chiu; music by joaquin gutierrez heras; distributed by azteca films. at cinema village, 22 east 12th street. running time: 110 minutes. this film has no rating. la manuela... roberto cobo japonesita... ana martin pancho... gonzalo vega la japonesa... lucha villa lucy... carmen salinas
the setting is the small, destitute mexican town of el olivo, owned lock, stock and barrel by a tiny old tycoon who has turned off the electricity, hoping that everybody will move away so he can sell the land at a fancy profit. as the movie begins, the only people left in el olivo are manuel, called la manuela, the aging homosexual owner of the town' s brothel; japonesita, his pretty daughter (conceived many years ago to win a bet), two dispirited whores and some shopkeepers .
the earlier film focuses more on prefontaine' s stubborn battle with the amateur athletic union and other amateur bodies that essentially dictated the terms under which americans could run. it makes it clear that a late invitational meet in oregon with finnish athletes was held as a deliberate challenge to the amateur establishment. towne' s film is less quirky, more a conventional sports movie, but it benefits by giving more attention to the relationship between pre and bowerman .
i grew up in eugene and saw almost every race pre ever ran. he was a crowd hero. there were always two races... the one pre ran and the one, way back, that the rest of the runners ran. there was nobody like him. he was talented, cocky and had so much charisma. he really was outspoken in the press and took no guff from the aau. he was the best thing that ever happened to track. seeing the movie was like deja vu. it was a really well done recreation of what it was like to be at hayward field during his races. i went to the memorial service at hayward field and saw frank shorter and bill bowerman speak. this movie certainly made me reflect back !
: i' d like to work it out so that at the end, it' s a pure guts race. if it is, i' m the only one who can win it .
why two movies about prefontaine? because two directors wanted to make them, and neither one backed down .

fan is familiar with the soundtrack - laden montages of rocky balboa getting ready for a fight. he sweats, strains and endures one painful workout after another. his efforts, of course, bring him peak fitness and success. but in real life, that' s only half the story. unfortunately, many runners either ignore or simply don' t know this truth: physical adaptations take place over time and require patience, restraint and regular windows of recovery .
