Tiffanie brought to my attention this video from Nova PBS. It is simply called the Marathon Challenge. For those of you planning the run the Marathon, this is a must-watch video.

It chronicles a group of normal people like you and I who trained together to complete the ultimate test of human endurance. The site is here — go check it out. Below is a little of the video which I gotten from the PBS Nova website:

Chapter 1 - The Training Begins Can a group of sedentary non-athletes be transformed in nine months into a team that can complete the Boston Marathon?

Chapter 2 - A Long Way to Go Serious training gets under way, and some members of team NOVA struggle with their own unique problems.

Chapter 3 - Born to Run? As the team moves into longer runs the injuries begin to mount, and one runner has to be replaced.

Chapter 4 - Mental Toughness For the longest training run—20 miles—more than fitness is required.

Chapter 5 - The Finish Line On the day of the race Team NOVA battles with severe weather conditions, and 40 weeks of preparation are put to the test.
