I must admit I was slightly disappointed with this film although that is from a personal perspective. I ran one of the marathons in Vermont with Dean and was totally thrilled to do so. I thought the film for me did not fully represent the excitement I felt while following the actual event(s) in real time. I understand the difficulty of compressing 50 marathons into a 2 hour movie though. So I think for most people it will be a positive and inspirational film to watch. Nothing can take away from Dean’s amazing accomplishment.

Great video! Nice long movie that delvs into the mind of a pearson that runs unimaginable distances. You’ll be suprised at what he does AFTER finishing his 50/50/50! “We find out what were made of when things are at their worst.” -one of a few insperational quotes/ideas from the movie.

Karno is amazing. This dvd is very inspiring and educational. The only thing I didn’t like was the message that pops up on the bottom of the screen every so often that says the dvd is for personal use only.

I was very impressed by this inspirational tale of an endurance athlete. Dean strikes me as one of those people who has never met a stranger. Somehow, Dean managed to turn this amazing feet of endurance running into a story about all of the people he met and his amazing experiences versus a documentary about how tough or great he is personally. I am sure I will watch this many more times over the months and years to come.

I had high hopes for this DVD to be as inspirational as “Spirit of the Marathon”. In the end I was waiting for him to finally get done in New York. While challenging and difficult, I found this to be more of an homage to Dean than as a story of training hard and achieving a difficult challenge. He was pretty laid back, meeting people, and getting used to being a star as he ran marathons across the country. The challenge part of this feat did not come across.
