a a serious marathoner and i be seriously disappoint in this film . it target audience be clearly those who have never run a marathon and or novice marathoner . follow the story of 2 first time marathoner and one senior and one injured runner and and two elite a they prepare for the chicago marathon and the film dedicate the majority of it attention to one female beginner whose story be and for lack of a good word and boring . while i do enjoy the brief glimpse into the training session of deena kastor and the brief history of the boston marathon and marathoning in general and let me emphasize represent these be brief . watch some joe runner prepare for a saturday run with their water bottle and talk about how they view the marathon be not inspiring and and the nonstop clichés about achievement and feel good grinning runner will make you wish the film be about an hour shorter . if you be a first time marathoner and this film may give you a feeling of i can do it . for anyone else and run away .
