NOVA presents ‘Marathon’
How do you run 26.2 miles if you have trouble making it around the block? With good coaching, discipline, and lots of group support—as NOVA shows when it follows 13 would-be athletes through a nine-month regimen designed to prepare them for the Boston Marathon®, on Marathon.
Created in cooperation with the Boston Athletic Association, which granted NOVA unprecedented access during the 111th Boston Marathon (April 16, 2007), and Tufts University, the film takes viewers on a unique adventure inside the human body, tracking changes in the runners’ bodies. The film promises to be inspiring, as well as entertaining.
