Fire On The Track DVD - Loved It!

I recently picked up the DVD "Fire On The Track - The Steve Prefontaine Story" while at the Expo for the Eugene Marathon. I'm always looking for DVD's to watch while doing the early morning treadmill sessions, and if I can watch it five times in a row and still get inspired, it must be good! Well worth the $20 if you ask me.

My favorite part of the DVD has been the 3.5 hours of bonus interviews with competitors, teammates, and coaches. These include the likes of 10k champion David Bedford, marathon champ Frank Shorter, Ian Stewart, Bill Bowerman, Jeff Galloway, Dick Buerkle, world record holder Lasse Viren, Dana Carvey, Mac Wilkins, Kenny Moore, Dave Wottle, Alberto Salazar, and many more.

There are only a few endurance DVD's that I have been able to watch 5-10 times on the treadmill and still feel inspired (others include Breaking Away, Race For The Soul, On The Edge, and a few of the Ironman Championship DVD's). If any of you know of others, do let me know!

(PS - Training for States is going well. I clocked 28 miles on Sat in the hills of Santa Barbara, another 12 on Sun, and will be doing similar 30-40 mile weekends the next two weeks before starting to taper. So far, so good! )

  1. I've been meaning to go buy "Indulgence", which chronicles Anton Krupicka's training leading up to his first (?) Leadville. Apparently they tried to take the 'surf/ski-movie' approach, so big landscape with small human in perfect harmony, if that makes any sense. Anyways, I haven't seen it, but it's #1 on my list.

  3. atta boy! I like to see you are running Waldo! It'll be fun to race with you up here! Glad your training is going well and look forward to seeing you soon!

  4. 1989 (or maybe 90?) World Cycling Road Race Championships. Greg LeMond chases down several breakaways solo on the final lap (in the rain), and then outsprints the Russians and Canadians to win it by a wheel.

  5. A Fine Balance by Brad Allen Lewis. This is a documentary about the US Men’s rowing team for the 2000 games in Sydney. The team had won gold in the World Championships the previous three years and were heavy favorites to win gold in the Olympics. Yes, it is not about running, but a world class athlete is a would class athlete.

  6. Scott,
    Is there a good trail in the Santa Barbara hills, or were you winding around the roads up there?

    And thanks for the movie tips!

    is a pretty good one to get you motivated. Not quite as good as Race for the Soul, but pretty close and worth multiple viewings.

  8. "Breaking Away" is great. If you've ever wrestled, you've probably watched "Vision Quest," one of the very few movies about wrestling (high school). Definitely worth tracking down. Inspirational, even if you haven't wrestled - good training scenes

  9. Scoot, happy to see you're running well; those little breaks and setbacks help sometimes.
    Thanks for the movie tip. I've been meaning to get Running on the Sun and Indulgence as well.
    Have a great time at WS. I'll be watching that race unfold closely and would love to see it in person (or run it like you, lucky boy).

  11. hell on wheels, foreign documentary of the tour de france from the perspective of the Telekom team - behind the scenes at a big bike race - interesting and compelling...

  12. Director Peter Han has to really good dvd's out.

    What it takes www.witmovie.com. The movie follows Luke Bell, Heather Fuhr, Lori Bowden and Peter Reid up close and personal during training for Ironman.

    His second dvd follows the same theme but follows world class runners.

  13. About "Hells on Wheels"

    I watched that DVD recently in its original German version. Its a great behind-the-scenes view of a pro cycling team as they're competing in the Tour de France. Its just too bad that the two protagonists, Erik Zabel and Rolf Aldag, both later admitted to doping. It was hard to look past that. (This is from somebody who has traveled to the Tour as a fan of the Telekom team/all Germans in the late 90s. Those guys were my heroes back in the day.)

  15. Dave:
    I agree that the doping has taken its toll on cycling. I started cycling competitively after watching the '85 and '86 tours (LeMond and Hinault, "the Badger") and spent the last twenty years following the sport. I don't know whom to blame for the degradation of cycling due to drugs, the riders, the trainers, the team managers, the governing bodies.

    This topic may be in the wrong format but it will become more common with $10,000 races like the NF 50 mile championships. I've always felt that they should test all participants just before the event day as well as testing the top placers and random finishers after the event. It'd be nice to yank out the dopers before they take home a fat check and title instead of unceremoniously giving it to the rightful guy two months after the race.

    No matter what, it's a draining topic to discuss.
    Tim

  16. I'll second What It Takes, although it wasn't quite as good as I expected, mostly because it's actually quite a bleak look at the sport. Peter Reid in particular came across as very lonely and even quite bitter at times. I suppose it ends quite well for him.

    If you enjoy the Ironman DVDs, do everything you can to track down the various Eco Challenge races that the Discovery Channel screened for about five or six years. They've very inspirational, and much like the Ironman features are beautifully shot.
