Do you have any favourite movies about running? Let us know in the comments.<\/p>\n<h2>Run Fatboy Run<\/h2>\n<p><iframe width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/w6VpRfto9wM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s start with a fun movie first. A man wants to win back his ex and gets into something without realising the magnitude of it! It&#8217;s a hilarious comedy where Simon Pegg does everything a marathon runner shouldn&#8217;t &#8211; signs up for the wrong reasons, registers late, does not train properly and so on. But it&#8217;s a great watch if you want to get together with your runner friends and laugh off the seriousness of training. Runners will appreciate all the run related references through the movie.<\/p>\n<h2>Forrest Gump<\/h2>\n<p><iframe width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QgnJ8GpsBG8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Perhaps we should all run for the reason Forrest Gump did in this movie &#8211; because he felt like it! No stress of achieving a personal best timing, or finishing a marathon, but just run &#8211; and enjoy it. Based on a novel, of the same name, this movie was a blockbuster and there is very little chance you haven&#8217;t already watched it. But it&#8217;s a great movie to watch again and again.<\/p>\n<h2>Saint Ralph<\/h2>\n<p><iframe width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Vh6KlOW1J8Q?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>A troubled school kid wants not just to run but win at the mecca of all marathons &#8211; the Boston Marathon! Will this be the miracle he needs to get the bigger miracle he needs?<\/p>\n<h2>Chariots of Fire<\/h2>\n<p><iframe width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CSav51fVlKU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The classic running film, an incredible soundtrack and unlike the previous three, a fact based movie about two amazing athletes competing in the 1924 Olympics. The motivation to run is different for everyone, but running is a great outlet too. Watch this movie to see what these motivations were another era.<\/p>\n<h2>Without Limits<\/h2>\n<p><iframe width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/e8s5DJBDjnA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This movie is about Steven Prefontaine &#8211; the Olympian and middle\/long distance runner who inspired the first &#8216;running boom&#8217; in the USA in 1980&#8217;s. He died at the young age of 24 in an accident, but in this short life he achieved immense greatness &#8211; he once held the American record in seven different track events! He also trained under the legendary coach Bill Bowerman who co-founded the iconic running\/sports brand Nike.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Running movies that every runner can related to!
