Some Inspiration!
Here is a terrific compilation of some of the greatest track & field distance races of all time. This will definitely get your heart rate up! The last clip is Billy Mills in the 1964 Olympics. The race seemed more like a rugby match than a track run, but watch his kick at the end---absolutely awesome! Click on the Finish Line picture (just to the left) to watch the YouTube clip.

Dave Wottle - Gold Medal 800m Race in Munich 1972
This was one of the memorable races from the Munich Games in 1972. It was overshadowed by the terrorist events of the games, Prefontaine's 5000m and Frank Shorter's Marathon Win. The 800m race was probably one of the most perfectly run races ever. Watch how close the finish is, but more impressive is Wottle's finishing lap and kick to the win!
