I disliked Saint Ralph immensely. Anyone who knows anything about real marathon training will just be sick. For those who enjoyed it, I do not mean to criticize your taste; it's just not a
running movie.
My favorites are the ultrarunning documentaries: "Running on the Sun" and "Run for the Soul." You do NOT have to be an ultrarunner to enjoy these movies. Your 10K or Half M. (or 26.2 for that matter) is going to look like a walk in the park, and you will be inspired in ways you couldn't imagine.
But the main reason I love them is that you see real people, over 30 yrs old, running amazing distances in difficult conditions. You learn their personal stories. If you want to see where good training practices and passion for your sport can take you, these movies are the best! No actors, real stories, real runners!
