I don't remember how I came across this video a couple of weeks ago, but it is worth watching even at 19 minutes long. On The Run is about Arthur Lydiard and some of the men and women runners he trained in New Zealand. This was filmed in 1979. It is professionally done, the music, video and interviews are all interesting. It's a great way to stay motivated during some heavy training you may be doing or are considering attempting.
Pay particular attention to the hill training and the mountains that Jack Foster is doing. The last two or three minutes are worth forwarding to if you don't want to watch the entire movie. Marathoner Jack Foster (he ran a 2:11 after the age of 40), is sprinting down the scree pile of a mountain.
