Is it normal to run a marathon... as a warm up?

"Run, Pharm Boy, Run!" is a short documentary profiling Charles Wickersham, pharmacist and ultrarunner, as he undertakes the San Francisco One Day race. The One Day is a 24 hour race run annually at Crissy Field next to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.

Charles races in support of a charity called "Teens Run Modesto" which helps local teens learn and grow through training for a marathon. For more information, please visit their website at:

teensrunmodesto.org

RPR is It Donned On Me's first non-competition film (we primarily compete in timed filmmaking events such as the 48 Hour Film Project), and is the first in a planned series of profiles of ordinary people who do extraordinary things.

    Great video. As a filmmaker and long distance runner I really enjoyed this piece. I want to do the Comrades Ultra in South Africa some day. Hope I have as good a film crew as you guys when I do that.

    This is great, reminded me of the Murakami book: What I Talk About When I Talk About Running!
  • It Donned On Me 1 year ago
    Thanks - it's funny, I'm a huge Murakami fan and have that book but somehow didn't make that connection until your comment. Probably some subconscious influence there!
