Spirit Of The Marathon

Enthusiastically directed by Jon Dunham, the move shadows six competitors - including Olympic bronze medalist Deena Kastor - as they prepare for the Chicago Marathon. "I do it for the T-shirt," Jerry Meyers, 70, deadpans as he trains for his fifth race and the first with his daughter Rona. But whether doing it for the shirts or charity, for meditation or competition (or, like one first timer, as a particularly brutal form of post divorce therapy), all are convinced that pounding pavement is the ultimate drug.
