im a freshman in high school nad i am truly inspired by these people. I broke five minutes today in my first track meet of the year and I'm very happy =)
This video and song gets me so fired up to go and race. I will run for Slippery Rock University starting this fall. I can't wait to put that home green jersey on for the first time. GO ROCK!
Almost have this video memorized I've watched it so many times....When my friends and I go on our daily 10 miler we often find ourselves repeating lines from this video. Truly Inspirational!
The Song used was from the movie "Rudy". It's about a football player that's short (like Pre) and has his determination to get him to his goal. Great movie
this is one of those videos that non-runners think is nothing special, but any real runner will be either crying or running (or possibly both) at the end of this video, nicely done.
Imagine an Olympic final 5000m race. Imagine that the three greatest distance runners of all time were in that one race. The greatest 1500m runner, at the very peak of his career. The greatest 5k and 10k runner ever, who is poised for his breakout. And the greatest marathoner of all time, an almost unknown who will one day run the first sub 2 hour marathon. Imagine all three sprinting for Olympic medals over the last 250 meters. Now go to 3:06 and watch it.
Fantastic video, many thanks for posting it! I've been distance running for 28 years and can only dream of running like these guys, but it's still inspiring.
i saw billy mills at a track clinic i went to and he spoke to us about that race. it was amazing to here the first hand perspective of his finish and what was going through his mind. Greatest finish of all time.
amazing compilation! i love running. the prefontaine video you show at the beginning is one of my favorites. prefontaine is my favorite runner of all time, truly an american inspiration.
Great video! Very inspirational! I watch it before my runs when I want to get motivated. These guys were SOLID, and had guts!!! Here's one for ya...

Now there's sport -- individual physiology against individual physiology. Thanks for the compilation, and I agree with others here in that this is just full of chills and tears of seeing such physical accomplishment.
2004 1500 final, one of my favorite races of all time. Two of my favorite runners throwing down a great race. I still wish Lagat had won though. I think he deserves a gold medal.
@rmante06 , The song is from the Movie Rudy so it's called "Rudy's Theme" Composed b y Jerry Goldsmith IT's an awesome movie about a small guy (LIKE PRE!) that has determination to go play for Notre Dames football team. Yo will not regret watching it.)
Whenever I watch this video, I am always upset and depressed when I see Pre miss out on the Bronze. But when I see Billy Mills with the greatest kick ever, I ALWAYS seem to be inspired and happy:)
billy mills trained for that he visualized himself winning by doing 100m sprints. it's just inspiring pretty much if you have a kick it's easier to win against someone better than you

El Guerrouj - what an outstanding talent and to think that his mile and 1500 world records are still standing since the 1990s.
Exceptional.
The announcers enthusiasm and excitement when Billy Mills won is awesome.
i've been watching this video off and on for a year and it still sends goose bumps down my neck. I makes me want to excite people like that!
This is the GREATEST video I have EVER Seen!!! And that's an understatement!!!

Billy Mills' comeback owns them all. That finish was crazy
That was Pre's first olympics and he did very well. Imagine how much he would have improved for the next one.
El G. A living legend. The best. VivA morocco. The Moroccan legend.
This video gives me the chills. Just got home from doing some track work, wish I'd have watched this before today's workout..

El Guerrouj, Bekele and gabressalasie are the current kings of distance running. Long live the kings

Great video, really well done. Thanks.

I had a heart attack at 5'40" and I yelled out with tears rolling down my cheeks! What a race !
The end gives me chills every single time I watch this.
This video gives me goosebumps! I love it! Good work!

LOOK AT MILLS! LOOK AT MILLS! (chills every single time)
i respect them as a great runner and a great champion .
yeah my brother was always pretty short. yet my dad told him to take a season off in his sophomore year and by his junior year he grew tremendously.
Great video! Very inspirational! I watch it before my runs when I want to get motivated. These guys were SOLID, and had guts!!! Here's one for ya...

Awesome video. Hairs are standing up on the back of my neck after it. Can't wait to go out and do a session later
Billy Mills ran one of the greatest races in long distance history.
RIP pre, you were a legend
Gorgeous vedeo greetings from morocco 🇲🇦✌
2004 1500 final, one of my favorite races of all time. Two of my favorite runners throwing down a great race. I still wish Lagat had won though. I think he deserves a gold medal.

@rmante06 , The song is from the Movie Rudy so it's called "Rudy's Theme"
Composed b y Jerry Goldsmith
IT's an awesome movie about a small guy (LIKE PRE!) that has determination to go play for Notre Dames football team. Yo will not regret watching it.)
Tears in my eyes.
Great stuff!
I love DISTANCE running!!!
gotta love this vid
Watching this made my heart-beat as a first time long distance runner. Wow..
This sentence begins and ends with this.
Pre was the best there ever was at leading from the start and winning. His attitude was hey you wanna win a gotta catch and beat me from behind.
Que buenos, estos tios son la leche. Recomendable al 100%.
Look at Mills! Look at Mills! Classic
wow. I know this feeling and I love to feel it awesome vid
@Carguello615 Mills is amazing. Seriously, maybe the most inspirational thing in American sports history. That whole sequence is awesome.
Mills brought a tear to my eye
Tears. Actual tears.
amen, bro!
long live distance running!
Is it just me when the announcer says "Look at Mills! Look at Mills" that the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
vebjørn rodahl, atlanta 800m gold. Best runner ever
"Look at Mills! Look at Mills!" - last clip (5:49) - greatest distance running commentary ever?
great video.
Omfg mills at the end things like that make me want to go run forever.

Isn't that the most beautiful kick ever?
Brilliant stuff
awesome inspiring video. makes me wanna race.
That last straight away...
bekele is the king of medium distance running
great video
What do you mean what part is it!? The ending clip in black and white. By far the most amazing kick I've ever seen.
Whenever I watch this video, I am always upset and depressed when I see Pre miss out on the Bronze. But when I see Billy Mills with the greatest kick ever, I ALWAYS seem to be inspired and happy:)
A good video! Billy Mills was a hell of a runner including all the runners, but the best finish has to go to him...
The music is the theme from "Rudy"
Ahh. really sucks having a stress fracture and not being able to do what I love most. Least I got it from running :)
A real sport....Training mind and body!
great video, bu I cant believe you dont have Dave Wottle on here!!
Freaken awesome
that bill mills race at the end always gives me goose bumps to see him out kick those guys..that was a really strong kick by the way
billy mills trained for that he visualized himself winning by doing 100m sprints. it's just inspiring
pretty much if you have a kick it's easier to win against someone better than you
Look at Mills!! Look at Mills!!!
Look at Mills! Look at Mills!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that is amazingly true
You either ran today or you didn't, Test your faith daily: Running streak is 4461 days, or 637 weeks and 2 days or 13 yrs 2.5 months and counting!
Yeah! Great. I saw Endurance with Haile Gebraselassie. He is amazing!
lol sounds like you've improved really fast; I just ran my first outdoor meet and got a 5:18 :\
"Look at Mills, Look at Mills!!" Second only to "Do You Believe In Miracles."
i love running, the most ive ever ran at one time is 15 miles at an average of 10 minite miles
hey dude ur a beast
x-c runners do it longer but marathoners do it forever!
I like track relays but like the openness of x-c running
Very true.
solid video
Epic.
