DVD Reviews of Ultramarathon Man: 50 Marathons - 50 States - 50 Days
DVD Review: An amazing accomplishment that inspires...
Summary: 4 Stars
I've read both of Karnazes books, so I was eager to watch his documentary on the Endurance 50. I was not disappointed as we watch him move through the 50 states, running all the while. Although not as informative as his books, I found this still fascinating to watch.
Part of the reason I find it fascinating is that I too love to run marathons, so to see this captured on film is always fun to watch. What was enjoyable was seeing the different types of conditions and courses that were being ran. I was amazed to see how many times they had to run through pouring rain and yet they just kept on trudging. The people that ran with Dean made this documentary more interesting as well because you not only get to see what they went through b ut you were able to put yourself in their shoes are relive your most recent marathon. What this documentary does show a lot of is the logistics of accomplishing something like this just as much as the actual running.
That being said I was a little disappointed at times. At times I wished we would hear more from Dean on the actual running part of the E50, whereas we saw more of Dean talking about the media and travelling and so on. Which doesn't necessarily degrade the documentary since this was what was set out to do, but more running wisdom interspersed throughout from such an accomplished runner would have added a lot more flavor. Additionally, there were a ton of marathons that were glossed over with nothing more than a screenshot and the name of the marathon. Wish we would have seen more of these, even if it was some more shots of the course and the scenery.
I would definitely recommend this to any runner. One last suggestion, when you watch it do not turn the Simstat (sp?) on, because at times you jump from marathon to marathon so fast that you are constantly having to flip back and forth with only seconds between the documentary and the stats for that marathon. I found the flow to be much better when you run it on normal.
4 stars.
