Run For Your Life (Full Documentary) New York Marathon

So well put together. I'm running my first NYC Marathon in less than two weeks and understanding how it came about and the life of the man behind it makes it so much more special. Thank you Fred Lebow for leaving such an incredible legacy!

This was such an inspiration! 🎉❤😢

Bom dia ótima playlist estou com 28 vídeos oculto e não consigo assistir

Honestly, we could have left the holocaust and the womanizing on the cut room floor. It wasn't necessary. Lebow and the NYC Marathon it was really important.

Wow, what a legend! RIP Fred Lebow, I hope to do NYC marathon someday...

Here in NYC, 3 days away from my first NYC Marathon and I keep coming back to this beautiful documentary ❤

This is the most beautiful story! I started running in 1963 and this brought back so many memories of those early days of running. Thank you for this wonderful documentary about an amazing man!

I used to admire Fred Lebow . Not anymore after this movie. Can’t believe what he told Ann Roberts, about go in front of me, so the other girls would not think we were together. Ann was 20 years younger. I see extremely disrespectful to a young lady. She is
A gorgeous woman when the movie was made. Imagine 30 plus years ago & he was 20 years older & not good looking At all. But I
Should see the movie about what he has done for running &
Not about he chasing the young girls.

my first marathon! nycm finisher in 2018, my old man ran it back in 1980 and came out to watch me run! it was a great day!

Running my 1st NYCM this weekend. Excited. What a documentary

I've lost 50 ibs from running and I completed my first half a marathon but my goal is to complete a full one

Going to be watching this a lot in the next few weeks leading up to the NYCM! Fred was my cousin and I’ll be running the NYC marathon for the first time in 4 weeks. It’s going to be such a special day for me

relax

As a running club president and race director for a few races I watch this movie all the time for inspiration! Well done!!!

what a sexualized documentation

Did the NYC marathon in 1994 - just after Fred had died. Still go the t-shirt...! Highlights of the day - the AMAZING support of all the people through the Bronx, the nuns outside the convent with their brass band belting out Onward Christian Soldiers, not coming last (although that would have been something to put on my CV!) and the whole event being one huge and fantastic experience. One and only road marathon for me. Worth every step.

Have you ever wondered what your purpose in life is? If all of human history will one day be destroyed, than does your legacy really matter? Does what your putting all of your effort into make a difference in the long run? The answer is yes it does but probably not for the reason you think. God is eternal and he created you as an eternal being and so your purpose is actually eternal. You were made for relationship. God thinks relationship is so important that he actually died on a cross to show how serious he is about wanting a relationship with you. You see God is love and the only way that you can love someone is by knowing the source. He gives you a new heart as you surrender your old heart to Him. So if you want to know what this is like I invite you to right now ask God for forgiveness. Turn away from your sinful lifestyle and give your heart to the one who cares. Jesus has changed my life and he wants to change yours too. If you have a bible I encourage you to read the gospel of John and ask God to change your heart.

Have a blessed day!

Just stop sulking about the past, we know what you've done in your Gulags.

As a runner .. i m thankfull for this docu and for fred .. just didnt know it ... what a beauty

Really appreciated this documentary and learning about Fred Lebow, Grete W. and others. I didn't realize how huge his contribution was. All NYRR members should see this, especially if you've run the NYC Marathon.

Great Documentary!! Tks for sharing

I dont know if Fred remembered me, but we definitely crossed paths many times in NYRRC races. I was there when the race went to all five boroughs. I remember NOT able to get into the NYC Marathon for some reason and I mailed a letter to him and said how can a GREEK not be allowed entry into the NYC Marathon. After all we gave the world the Olympics and the marathon and I was born the city state capital of Pyrgos where the Olympics were born. As a result of my letter, I got entry into the NYC Marathon and ran it some four times. Thank you Fred! I remember you buddy! I shall never, ever forget you!

Brilliant documentary, thanks for sharing 👍

Am doing fasted jogging these days: to lose muscle bulk from lifting weights. Can already see a difference: in only three weeks.

Good job NYC

New York was designed from the block design in Edinburgh,Scotland ,yes we win,the first shot of the cobbled road looked like Edinburgh,and the patchy tarmac

In my experience, exercise has been the number one enemy of depression.
Endorphins!

Awesome documentary! This is how people and road races become legends!

boring

What a great film!! Lebow was a true visionary. I hope to run NYC someday!

Thank you for a profoundly touching and moving doc.

I had no idea what to expect watching this video. I didn't even realize that it was about Central Park in NY. I LOVE Central Park. I created a half and full marathon and women's run walk mini skirts, and there is a park in Clearwater Florida that reminds me of Central Park. What a beautiful inspiring movie here. I am so excited to watch all of these ideas come together.

Prourd to say i was lucky enough to have been chased out of nyrr office by fred before a central pk race rip fred

Thank you so very much for uploading this heart-rending documentary! I ❤️ NY

My claim to fame.....I was volunteering at the NYRRC in the summer of 1980, when they were still in the West Side YMCA. One night, it got late and I didn't feel like taking the subway/bus back to NJ. So, I slept on a cot in Fred's office. I woke up in the middle of the night--covered in roaches. Never did that again!

The famous Comrades Ultra Marathon is coming up in 2 days and I was looking for something inspirational to watch and came across this. So glad I did, that was awesome! Long live Fred!

Fantastic watch! Just about to run Brighton and then London marathons and the story of Fred has given just the boost I needed before the first race!! Thanks Fred🤘

Loved it!!!!!

O M G 🙏🙏🙏 Don't know but did any Biography made on Fred Lebow, other then this documentary ???

Inspiring. Fred was great. The way he united the parts of the city and gave them joy and proud in bad times is amazing. RiP.

brandy could be useful in winter...

luv LMN in the bed watching it all day every day😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

damn i wish i couldve seen the 1989 nyc marathon, because 1989 is the greatest year in history and march 31st 1989 is the greatest day in history. if i had a time machine id definitely travel to march 31st, 1989.

Great, great movie. One man's obsession created a legendary international experience

Love running have been running for 7 years.

Love this documentary on how one man's passion can accomplish so much. Great nostalgia footage of New York too.

been running since 2011, lost 27kg fat, still can't run the marathon, 10km every 2nd day. Just do it,

Salute to Fred Lebow!! Definitely an inspirational figure. He created a legacy, which is The NYC Marathon, that has gotten bigger each year as time goes on!! What an awesome documentary!!
