Nova Marathon Challenge
I found an interesting program on PBS.com entitled the “Nova Marathon Challenge.” The series chronicles the nine-month journey of 13 sedentary people, aged 22-60, through a training program to prepare them for the 111th Boston Marathon. Tufts University coach Donald Megrele and three-time Boston Marathon winner, Uta Pippig, lead the group. What I like most about the program is you receive a peek into how running has changed (and in many cases, saved) the lives its participants. Putting aside races, competition, pacing, etc., increasing your fitness level and self-esteem are the greatest gifts running can give.
Below is a highlight clip and link to the full program.
