I didn’t find this movie motivational at all but it did contain a lot of information for someone interested in what it takes to train and complete a first marathon. If your already in a marathon training program or have already run a few marathons spend you money on a motivational movie.

Very good documentary. I really enjoyed the coverage of several people all with different time goals and personal circumstances. Excellent movie, it will definitely motivate you to keep running or start to if you haven’t already.

I was totally captivated!! Spirit shows the tough challenges of training for a marathon!! For those that have run marathons this brings back all the aches and pains that made running that marathon so special and exhilarating as you crossed the finish line. Highly motivational and inspiring!! A must see!!
