THE INTERVIEWS:
In the course of shooting the documentary Spirit of the Marathon we interviewed over a dozen marathon luminaries who shared their expertise and inspirational stories with us. Though not all of the footage made it into the final film there are lots of great moments we thought were of interest. So in this section we are re-assembling some of the "lost" footage so you can hear more from these marathon legends and their inspired tales in the following short videos.
