I highly recommend reading the amazing running books out there in the world, but if you’re in the mood for an inspirational running movie at no cost, Hulu has a couple to chose from:
1. Spirit of a Marathon
I watched “Spirit of a Marathon” before running the Thunder Road Marathon in Charlotte last winter. I had [...]

Marathon runners vs. World Cup soccer players
Posted by Jake Rosen on June 15th, 2010
I’ve been watching World Cup matches whenever I can. The more I watch, the more I wonder if I can keep up with or even outrun some of these world class athletes. That question led me to do a little research on the average distance and type of running a soccer player endures during a [...]
Movie Review: Spirit of the Marathon
Posted by Jake Rosen on March 22nd, 2010
Before running my first marathon a friend of mine sent me a link to “Spirit of a Marathon,” which is a documentary about six runner’s journeys toward the Chicago Marathon. Each runner has varied skill levels, ages, reasons for running and other identifiable traits.

Ugh! Can I run on my stress fracture?
Posted by jakerosen on March 10th, 2010
I’ve been having leg pain pretty consistently for about two months. Five weeks ago it became pretty clear that I had shin splints. I tried to be smart rather than stubborn. I decreased my running, started icing my leg and increased my stretching.
I was scheduled to run a relay half-marathon with my fiancee’s company because [...]

It would be impolite of me to write about myself, my journey and the running community without giving a formal introduction. Seeing as this is the inaugural post at “Broken Hearted Runner,” I can think of no better time.
My name is Jake. I’m from Washington DC originally, but now live in Charlotte, NC. Aside from running, [...]
