Amazing! Dane Rauschenberg (www.fiddy2.org) finished 52 marathons in 52 weeks back in 2006. This video tells you why he did it, and how. You know what else is crazy? He still managed to NOT take any time off, and still worked a full time job averaging at 50 hours a week! This goes to show that anything is possible!

Even though this is about the TNT cycle team, we are all part of the same Team (In Training) supporting the same cause. This video is so powerful, showing video of the camaraderie of cyclists, and images of the children affected by the disease. It’s very heartfelt, and the song is “Star” by Zoo Story. It’s a great video to keep looking back at for motivation, reminding of us all why we do the things we do.

I have a huge interest in online marketing, web design, and running. This video covers all three. Sure, it’s a marketing video trying to get people to use the Google Website Optimizer, but it was some great insight by the VP of eMarketing of LLS on why certain aspects of the TNT website exist.

Forget Road Rage, do you ever get Run Rage? There’s a pretty funny Nike Commercial on just that.

2.4 mile swim. 112 mile bike. 26.2 mile run. WTF??

I have a few friends who are training for the Ironman next year, and I’ve always wondered how it all started. It all started because of one question between swimmers and runners, “Who are the best athletes?”. So John & Judy Collins started with that idea, and made it a success.

I stumbled upon this music video by Erin Sholl aka Lady Southpaw while searching for running or TNT related videos on YouTube. This is one great example that not all efforts outside of training has to go towards fundraising. It’s about helping people get motivated. It’s more than just running, and it’s more about inspiration.

The Silicon Valley & Monterey Bay chapter of Team in Training ran the Rome Marathon on 3/18/07, and here’s their highlight video.
