Does it mostly focus on running and training, or is it primarily about the delusional stuff?
If the former, I could certainly see spending the time.

Kind of looks like a mix?
https://www.runnersworld.com/runners-stories/a29251039/ryan-hall-documentary/Thanks. I can give it a look at some point.
Damn I loved watching him race marathons. And now Sara is kicking arse. And the whole adopting 4 sisters from Ethiopia. And the fact he's not an a-hole. Hard to root against the guy.
I watched this yesterday.
I vividly remember the excitement after his 2:04 and 3rd place 2011 Boston, but never really understood how his career unraveled afterwards.
Basically his juvenile head was his undoing; sad to watch.
God doesn't heal your foot. God doesn't want you to fast for a week before a big race. Seriously, he f'ed it all up.
I thought I remembered something about him citing chronic fatigue or low testosterone as his reason for retiring, but that was never mentioned.
His hair was terrible. His decision to let God be his coach turned out to simply be coaching himself by gut-feel and not seeking wise advice from others... Big mistake. I loved the scenes of him training, and the documentary was quality. I enjoyed some of the input from his Stanford teammates. Overall a sad story, though.
They say his 2:04 was (is) the AR. Gtfoh, turned off.

Agreed, and yet I had the feeling he'd worked really hard to make it look that bad.
I do not know much about him, but if he genuinely adopted four children who otherwise would not have had parents that says a lot.

Did they? I might have missed it but I thought they were careful to say the 2:04 fastest marathon run by an American, which is still true.
Yeah, the Boston course doesn't count as a record, and 2011 was probably wind aided.

They did that too, but they also had a graphic of his marathon with AR and I turned that crap off.
RIP: D3 All-American Frank Csorba - who ran 13:56 in March - dead
RENATO can you talk about the preparation of Emile Cairess 2:06
Rest in Peace Adrian Lehmann - 2:11 Swiss marathoner. Dies of heart attack.
