Thanks go to Dr Tarveen Ahluwalia DC for providing me with this wonderful video. Tarveen was a pacer in a recent running clinic I taught and is also a running clinic instructor, as well as a personal trainer.

Five Running Videos You Should Watch

Mike Antonucci — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 07:01:21 +0000

Running may not be the best spectator sport, but compelling running makes for compelling viewing. In the YouTube age, we have greater access to running video than ever before.

Here are five that are definitely worth the few minutes it takes to watch.

Start off with this compilation of clips of some of the great distance races in track and field history. It’s got Prefontaine, Liquori, Ryun – all the way up to El Guerrouj vs. Lagat in Athens:

But you can’t have a compilation and leave off this clip of Billy Mills’ amazing 10k finish in the 1964 Olympics:

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a comparable selection for women’s running, but this New York Road Runners video is pretty good:

There have been some great commercials about running, but this one ranks at the top:

The Spirit of the Marathon has only had select showings, but you can view the 7-minute trailer over and over:

The Funniest Treadmill Videos of All Time

Mike Antonucci — Fri, 23 May 2008 07:01:30 +0000

Sure, anyone can post a video of a treadmill accident on the Internet, but it takes thought and creativity to rise to the top of this YouTube sub-genre.

In countdown form, here are the treadmill videos you’ll want to roll over and over again:

#5. The Shrimp. Watching a household pet’s confusion over a moving treadmill is old hat. But there isn’t too much competition for the best shrimp-on-a-treadmill video.

#4. Lazy Cat. Everyone puts his or her cat on the treadmill. An absolute refusal to cooperate lifts this one to elite status.

#3. Japanese Game Show. Your worst treadmill nightmares come to life in this Japanese TV game show called “Running Kooky.”

#2. The Polar Bear. One of the most popular of the Bernard the Polar Bear web video series.

#1. OK Go. Was there ever any doubt? At nearly 35 million views, this is one of the most popular videos in YouTube history.

World Harmony Run

21stCenturyMom — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 12:00:20 +0000

I had not heard of the World Harmony Run until I went looking for some good video and when I found this clip I felt like I had opened a door to a new world – a world where harmony and peace are a priority.

The World Harmony Run was founded by Sri Chinmoy in 1987. From their website: The World Harmony Run is a global relay that seeks to promote international friendship and understanding. As a symbol of harmony, runners carry a flaming torch, passing it from hand to hand travelling through over 100 nations around the globe. The World Harmony Run does not seek to raise money or highlight any political cause, but simply strives to create goodwill among peoples of all nations.

Right now it is taking place in Qatar. It will come to the US in April. It will travel to Canada but that doesn’t seem to be scheduled yet.

You, too can get involved by clicking on their ‘participate’ link.

The Boston Marathon – Time Machine

21stCenturyMom — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 13:00:14 +0000

This remarkable film clip shows Bill Rodger’s 1979 Boston Marathon win

What I find truly remarkable about this is that in 1979 course support was sporadic, Gatorade was probably the only ‘sports drink’ in town, running shoes were way less high tech (Nike had just invented the ‘air Nike’), we knew a lot less about nutrition and training and yet he he finished this race in a time that would make an athlete proud today. The all time record is not far off Rodger’s 1979 finishing time. It sort of validates the notion that if you’ve got what it takes it really isn’t about the shoes or the heart rate training or the carbo loading and coaching – it’s about the talent and the drive.
