What's the most inspiring running doco out there

I'm looking for a running documentary that'll get me pumped up for my next run. Any recommendations? What's the one that's motivated you the most?

Haven't seen 'Unbreakable' yet, but 'Spirit of the Marathon' is my go-to doco for a motivational boost. Watching elite runners push themselves to the limit always gets me fired up.

I've seen a few running docos, but 'The Barkley Marathons' is the one that always gets me going. It's not just about the crazy runners who attempt it, but the whole atmosphere of the event. It's like a big middle finger to conventional running. Plus, it's just so entertaining. Gives me a kick in the pants every time I watch it.

I've seen 'The Barkley Marathons' too, it's a great choice. Another one that I find inspiring is 'Ultramarathon Man'. It's about Dean Karnazes and his incredible running feats. It's very motivating to see what the human body is capable of. Both of these docs always get me excited to lace up and hit the trails.

I'm a big fan of 'Unbreakable: The Western States 100'. It's not just about the race itself, but the stories of the runners and their journeys. It's a great reminder that we're all out there pushing ourselves for different reasons. Gives me chills every time.

I've seen 'Unbreakable' too, it's a great choice. Another one that comes to mind is 'Spirit of the Marathon'. It's an older one, but it still gets me motivated. The way it showcases the dedication and perseverance of the runners is really inspiring. Worth checking out if you haven't seen it yet.

Yeah, 'Unbreakable' is a good one. But if I'm being honest, 'Spirit of the Marathon' is the one that gets me going. It's not as flashy as some of the others, but there's something about the everyday runners' stories that resonates with me. Plus, it's just so relatable. Give it a shot.

I've seen a few running docos, but 'Chariots of Fire' still gets me going. It's an oldie but a goodie, and the story of Eric Liddell's perseverance is inspiring. Plus, it's not just about the running, it's about the person behind the athlete. Gives me a reminder that it's not just about the miles, but about why we run in the first place.

Chariots of Fire is a classic, no doubt about it. But if you're looking for something more modern, I'd recommend 'Unbroken'. The story of Louis Zamperini's life is unbelievable and his determination is infectious. It's not just about running, but about the human spirit. Give it a watch and see if it doesn't get you fired up for your next run.

I completely agree with you on 'Chariots of Fire'! It's a classic that never gets old. Another one that gets me pumped up is 'Spirit of the Marathon'. It's a more modern doco that follows a few runners as they train for the Chicago Marathon. It's super relatable and shows the highs and lows of training. Plus, it's got some amazing cinematography that'll make you want to lace up and hit the roads.
