Running on the Sun

Customer Reviews:

• Fascinating: I would recommend this movie to runners of all levels- or to anyone who just wants to be inspired. It is a firsthand account into the lives and (some would say crazy) minds of ultra-endurance runners. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie from start to finish. It really gives insight into how much passion these runners have for the sport and what the human body can endure. I wish that they would make a sequel!
• I probably won't run this race...: I run ultras so I've absolutely heard of the infamous Badwater. It was amazing to see what those runners go through during the race. Really interesting characters. You'd have to be to run that race. Nice documentary. Not really any narration just shown from the runners' perspective.
• motivational tool : i first saw this video when darren worts (my colleague at a new jersey health club) was planning to do the badwater run about 6 years back. i was mesmerized and humbled by the dedication and drive (and insanity!) of the runners. i purchased the DVD and now use it as a motivational tool for my 4th semester physical fitness specialist majors at the college where i work. this is the last semester before they either "go out into the world" or continue their education. they are blown away and a most interesting class discussion follows the film. the purpose? you can achieve your goal...no matter. thanks for carrying the film. it took a few years to find it.
  p.s. darren, in his first run, came in second: first male to cross the finish line. we were so proud.

• I love this movie: I love this movie so much. I put it on in the gym on a regular basis.
• Amazing To Watch, But Not for the Faint-Hearted: Great movie. Awe-inspiring, particularly if you are interested in ultradistance events and the crucible associated with it. My only critique is that the scenes of runners piercing the blisters on their feet, and the foot juice shooting into the air, wasn't necessary to convey the message intended by the director!
